LONDON, August 18th. The Government is losing no tine in putting into operation its scheme to give the utmost possible help in a practical manner to miners who are unemployed. It is hoped that recruiting under the plan to enable them to settle overseas will begin in October. Meanwhile Lord Lovet, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Dominion Affairs, and Chairman of the Overseas Settlement Com- mittee has sailed for Canada, from whence he will go оп to New Zealand and Australia. In each of these countries he will discuss arrangements for the provision of further, facilities for. settlement.
Lord Lovat begins his mission with the one big hope that before he returns he will have made it possible for the Government to send overseas from this country na

The idea is to enable them to take up land of their own.
Housing Whole Famḥliès. Apart from direct settlement schemes, it is the Government's object to work out plans for the provision of cottages on farms in Canada and Australia, in which families could be housed while men were working and gaining experi ence on the land prior to settling on their own holdings. Under the scheme for sending out 21,000 miners already referred to, it is hoped, to include 2,500 families, 2,500 boys, and 2,000 women.
In brief, it is proposed to train. these settlers, carry them overseas at the lowest possible rate, and arrange one year's employment for them. During the training period of from nine to sixteen weeks the dependents would receive a grant at the rate of 178: a week for the wife, and 28. a week for each child.
The problem presented by the miners is a very grave one indeed
There are scores of thousands of men who will never obtain work again in the mines of this country. They were thrown out of employ men during the coal strike, many pits that were then closed down have not been re-opened and will remain closed for ever, and added to this is the fact that coal con- sumption has declined for various The miners must find new fields of labour; and it is an enlightened policy on the part of Government to assist these men and their dependents to a fresh life in the great lands beyond, the seas.
