ITALY AND AUSTRALIA.
PROSPECTS FOR IMMIGRANTS. London, Get. 10. Mr. Harold Cox, in an article in the Sunday Times on Australia’s immigration policy, says that the essential features of the 1901 Act remain the same to-day.
Whac is more important is that its underlying principles still seem to dominate Australian politics. Lord Northcliffe’s appeal for the organisation of immigration met with the coldest reception from Mr. Hughes, yet not only does England possess a surplus population seeking new soil, but Italy’s need is at least as urgent, and the United States, which was the qutlet for Italy’s racial fertility, is now closed. “’Can Australia, whose population is increasing the slowest, permanently dose vast areas of fertile, undeveloped land to Italians as well as Englishmen?” concludes Mr. Cox.
A few months ago the Italian Government sent a special commission to Australia to inquire into the prospects for Italian immigrants. The report of the commission is by now in the hands of its Government, but particulars of at have not yet been announced.
