EMPIRE SETTLERS.
HELPING BRITISH EMIGRANTS. THE VOTE INADEQUATE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. Received Nov. 4, 9.10 p.m. London, Nov. 3. Ih the House of Commons, Mr. Gideon Murray (Coalition-Unionist) complained that the supplementary estimate of £350,000 for oversea settlement would only enable fifteen thousand emigrajats to be shipped, though sixty thousand, ex-servicemen were awaiting passages. Mr. John Ward (Coalition-Liberal)-urged the need for a more ambitious scheme in consultation with organised labor of Britain and the Dominions. Sir Newton Moore (Coalition-Union-ist.) thought the, amount was miaerably poor. The Under-Secretary for the Colonies, replying, said that twenty-five thousand emigrants had been already settled in Canada, twenty thousand in Australia, ten thousand in New Zealand, and five thousand in South Africa. He deprecated the association of emigration with unemployment in Britain, for which there could never be a remedy. Labor was already represented on the Overseas Settlement Committee, and further representation would be available if it was wanted. The Government expected to propose a much larger vote when it had time to consider the Imperial Conference’s decisions.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
