EMPIRE SETTLEMENT.
CURE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. SETTLERS FOR DOMINIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 18, 5.6 p.m. London, Oct. 17. The Morning Post, in its second article on Empire settlement, urges that an immediate effort be made to populate Canada and Australia in the same ratio as New Zealand. Thus Canada would take 19.000,000 and Australia 16,000.000, even with generous allowance being made for areas unsuitable for colonisation. During 1920 Britain paid £332,000,000 on public assistance to people who were not earning as much as they cost. Much of this expenditure might lie saved if the unemployed were transferred to another part of the Empire, wherp they would be able to fully support themselves and become prosperous customers of the Empire. British industry will sink under the strain of supporting hundreds of thousands of idle hands unless something is done.—-Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
