"GOING A LITTLE MAD”
NEGLECT OF EMPIRE MIGRATION. t. AN IMPRESSIVE STATEMENT. WORKLESS YOUNGSTERS AND VACANT LANDS. (Received Sunday, 11 p.m.) LONDON, March 12. “The numbers of young people who are unemployed is the most perplexing and most challenging problem to'-day. It is with me night and clay. I am not such a fool as to think that tion will provide a complete remedy, but when I think of vacant lands and opportunities in tho Dominions, I feel the Empire must be going a little mad not to make use of these workless youngsters.” This striking passage is contained in a message by General Booth on . his seventy-first birthday. “Much as I detest birth-control as it is ordinarily understood, which merely is the quintessence of selfishness,” the general adds, “I sometimes wonder whether it would not be preferable to these crowds of young unemployed men.”—(A. and N.Z.)
