EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.
STATEMENT BY MR KEID. Received April 6, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, April 6. Hon. G Reid, Commonwealth High Commissioner in London, has issued a statement in which he says that there is some ground for the recent strictures upon the adv3rtisements of some Australian employers for married women without encumbrances, But these cases which were regrettable were not common to the extent that their signifiance into the general unwillingness to welcome married immigrants is a gross injustice. Australia wants workers, their wives and their families.
Mr Reid quotes Hon. A. Deakin's telegram showing that the assistance offered to married immigrants and their children was greater than that offered by any country seeking population. The truth is Australia has no fixsd agricultural labouring class, the farm worker of to-day becomes a prosperous farmer in a few years. Industrious British emigrants may go assured that they have the power quickly to become freeholders. Wages are high and land is obtainable on easy prices.
