THE EMPIRE’S PEOPLE,

“THE DOMINIONS EMPTY.” THE NECESSITY FOR SETTLERS. By Telegraph.—Tress Assn —Copyright London, Feb. 16. Sir Arthur Stanley, formerly Governor of Victoria, speaking at a luncheon welcoming Mr. McWhae, the new Victorian AgentGeneral, commended the question of migration to his attention. Sir Arthur Stanley said the outer Dominions were empty and Great Britain overcrowded. These were conditions they must seek to adjust. He paid a tribute to Mr. Ashbolt’s services in connection ■ with the Imperial airships scheme but, without derogation to this great, continent empty any longer. Thanks to the protection enjoyed for 150 years they had been permitted to grow in wealth, and by the White Australia policy had kept the race pure. Australia must be the future home of Britain’s surplus population. Mr. McWhae referred to the splendid work done by the institution of savings banks in Australia. There could bfe no socialism in a country where three millions of its inhabitants had savings bank accounts. He indicated that irrigation lands, to be thrown open to British settlers, would absorb thousands. He was saddened to see thousands of unemployed parading London and would do his utmost to make migration something worth while so [ar as Victoria was concerned.
