The Colonial Bureau of the Foreign Office also has an elabor- ate plan for the encouragement of amigration. As in the case of migration, the Bureau proposes to encourage émigration through the payment of liberal subsidies to emigrants. The other machinery, which is considered by the Bureau necessary for the encouragement of emigration, includes a colonial bank, with branches in various foreign countries, a colonial com- pany, a colonial museum, and stations for emigrants at Nagasaki and other places, and a committee to see to the welfare of emigrants In foreign countries.

Emigration to Brazil, Argentine and the South Seas Islands would be specially encouraged. In the case of emigrants to Brazil, it is proposed that a subsidy of $200 should be paid to each "person"] wishing to emigrate to that cour- Stryd
