IMPERIAL MIGRATION.
CONFERENCE SUGGESTED. DEFINED SCHEME NECESSARY. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, September 21. Addressing the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Leeds, Mr. J. G. Jenkins, of South Australia, on behalf of the Australian Chamber, urged the importance of an Imperial migration and land settlement scheme in order to reduce the present heavy poor relief expenditure. Sir Albert Spicer proposed a rider to the effect that the Government be asked to convene an Emigration Conference subsidiary to the Imperial Conference. He stated that the Post Office annually sent 4500 lads who had reached the age of sixteen adrift and workless in the streets. The Government ought to settle these lads in the overseas dominions under proper supervision. Mr. Jenkins' motion and the rider were carried.
