COMRADES OF EMPIRE. Earl Haig c'aimed that since its founda- tion. the record of the league had been satisfactory. The nature and the direc tion of their endeavour coulst be summed up in three words "naity," "comrade ship and "prace." He continued: Inter-Empire migration had become one of the burning questions of the day. Those who passed from one part of the Empire to another should be received as comrades wherever they went and main- tain their sense of coinradeship with thos they had left."

A discussion on regulated emigration arose on a resolution (moved by General Sir Andrew: Russell, New Zealand) ap- proving the principle of regulated emig ration, immigration, and migration for land settlement within the Empire, hut urging that schemes should be improved to prevent the distress which so often arises is the result of incomplete schemes.”
