They are going out to people the oversee portions of the Empire following in the footsteps, of the undaunted pioneers who laid the foundations of the great Dominions of Canada, Newfoundland. Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. They are helping to adjust the balance of population in the Empire, and this to strengthen it, and at the same time justify our holding of it. What is the present position? In these little islands, with an area of only 122,000 square miles, a population, of 47,000,000 persons is being sup ported, and supported with difficulty when a wave of trade depression, as at present, cócurs. In the whole of the remainder of the British Empire, with its enormous tracts of undeve loped land and economic and industrial possibilities, which are practically firmitable, there are only 15,000,000 or16,000,000 white persons. Thecuter fringes of the Empire require men and women and particularly women-*** while this country is overcrowded. That is the Ill-adjusted balance of population which demands, and is wisely receiving at the hands of our Government and the Governments of the Dominions, serious attention.
