was essentially a problem of the right distribution of population. In the British Empire to-day that population was wrongly distributed, first, as between industry and agriculture, and, secondly as between Great Britain and the Dominions. In Great Britain the population was over 400 to the square mile; in the Dominions it was under six to the square mile. The need for more population in the Dominions to make possible the development of their natural resources was as great as our need for a temporary reduction of our population The only effective and permanent cure of the evils arising from a faulty distribution in the Empire as a whole was to secure right distribution. In other words, the key to the employment situation was the shifting of British population from Great Britain to the Dominions and from industry to agri-

The two would have to go hand in hand, for the capacity of the Dominions to absorb additional urban population was narrowly limited by the growth of their agricultural population and by the inevitable objection of their own industrial workers to the influx of competitive labour.

SETTLEMENT WITHIN THE EMPIRE.
It might be suggested, continued Colonel Amery, that the most obvious rem ly, as far as Great Britain was concerned, was to settle her industrial population on her own land. But the efforts already made in that direction indicated that the process would be slow and costly, and apart from the actual limitation of the land available, there could be little prospect of an agricultural, development in Great Britain capable of supporting a really large population with a policy of direct subsidy or protection on a scale for which no political party had so far ventured to make itself responsible. Such a policy of Empire settlement and migration would necessarily cost money. But it would secure a real and lasting improvementat far less cost than the present system of rel of works and doles. At the present moment we were spending on relict of unemploy. ment, of one kind or another, at the rate of at least £100,000,000 a year. The whole of this great expenditure afforded a purely temporary relief.

great our need for the transfer of surplus population. That was the view of the Dominions as well, and in February of last year a preliminary conference took place, at which the whole problem was fally discussed. The February Conference put forward pro- posts for co-operation between the British and Oversea Governments in a comprehen- sive scheme of migration and settlement. The British Government undertook to take part in such a scheme up to a maximum of £2,000,000 a year. Of this sum it was pro posed that about half should be devoted to assisted pasages and other forms of assis- tance to actual migration. But it was con- templated that the assistance should be largely by way of loan and not of free grant, and that in any case the cost should be shared equally between the British Govern- ment and the Dominion concerned. The other half was to be devoted to advances to settlers on the innd, reckoned at imaximum of £300 per settler, made through the Over- sea Governments, or in certain cases through private organisations, providing that the rest of the cost of settlement and of the necessary advances (amounting as a rula to about £1,000 altogether) were found by the other Government or organisation concerned.
It was the emphatic conviction of the Conference that the direct settlement of men on the land as primary producers was the key to the whole problem, and that without it the capacity of the Dominions to absorb any additional industrial and urban Population was very narrowly limited Sen- ator Millen, indeed, on behalf of Australia, prepared to go decidedly farther than the British Government were willing to go at the time in the direction of large schemes for the opening up and development of new areas in Azstralia involving the raising by Australia, with the financial co-operation:

These men fought for the Empire as a whole, and not for this country only. They ought to have easy access to every chance which the Empire had to offer, and they accordingly persuaded the Govern ment to include among the facilities given to ox-Service men, and to ex-Service women also, a free passage for themselves and their families to any part of the British Empire. This offer was subject to certain yery important conditions, important from the point of view both of the men themselves and of the Dominions to which they went.
