Asked whether Mr. Starting ha blamed himself for the losses which had fallen an his clients, Mr. Finney replied that Mr. Stirling regarded it as a reflection on his capabilities and judgment that he should have allow- ed this to happen.

EMPIRE NEED OF SETTLERS
M.P. And £50,000,000 Migration Loan
London, Oct. 12. Government loans of £50,000,000 to assist Empire migration were suggested yesterday by Sir John Wardlaw-Milne, Mi-at-u" notionli conference held at the City of Lon- don Guildhall.
The problem was discussed in its) Imperial, social and economie aspects by renresentatives of local bodies, emigration organisations, and Domin- ion and Colonial admirsistentions.
Sir J. Wardlaw-Milne urged that Anabel assistance was needed to bring about an early revival of i emigration.
We could not expect the Dominions to agree always to contribution on a cash basis, and it was
this up to country to find the money or a large share of it.
AN EMPIRE BOARD
The British Government should guarantee a loan under the control of a Boarci for Empire settlement, which should have powers to sanction on approved schemes up to maximum of, say, £50,000,000,
"We are prepared," said Sir John, "to give facilities and financial sup- port to enterprises in the distressed areas. Surely, it is equally import- ant to support an enterprise overseas which is aimed at nehleving the same results. The gain to the taxpayer is clear."
Mr. C. G. Ammon, M.P., said it, was a mistake to think that migration from the United Kingdom to the Dominions was not possible as long as there was unemployment in the Dominions.
