The reasons for this are somewhat complicated, but are of interest as | throwing a good deal cf light on the | whole subject of migration and the de-' velopment of the outlying lands of the Empire, a subject of great and increas. {ing importance to this country. There are many schemes in opera- tion whose object Is to assist the 'Canada or elsewhere, and settle on the land; The most important of these is 'that 'for which an act entitled, "The Empire Settlement Act," was passed rather over four year? ago, empower- ing the Overgats Settlement Depart- Jap to £3,000,000 an- ; x or od of 15 years, in financing fo passage and settlement abroad of suitable emigrants. Of this .£3,000,000 available annually, in no year gince 1922 has as much as *£500,- 'the reasons why this is so Will also go far to explain the absence of any movement to emigrate among the idle miners. + Ne Opening for Miners. «In the first place, monetary assist ance is confined to those who are will ing to settle upon the land, and thers are no openings for miners as such. In the second, the selection of candi- 'dates for free passages is done by! the representative in England of the! dominions governments, which is, na- turally, unwilling to take any but those whom they think entirely suftable. In addition to these factors, a re- striction on the freedom with which These stipulate that the sum ad- vanced by the Government should not! represent more than 50 per cent. of the | whole cost of financing the forward-' ing and settlement overseas of each emigrant, the balance having to be foufild either by somebody in the do- minion concerned, or by one of the many charitable institutions in Eng- land. : Capacity of Dominions. At first sight it may seem regret- able that with so large a number of | people unemployed in Great Britain, more should not have been done to j utilize the funds available under the provisions of the Empire Settlement Act. But it must be remembered that, broadly speaking, the rate of assist- ance given to emigration at this end is governed, and rightly so, by the ca- pacity of the dominions to absorb fresh population. There is no shortage of labor for work in the towns of Australia and Canada, so that not only must emi- grants be ready to work on the land in those countries, but they must be suited to and capable of taking up|; such work. This points to the ad- visability--if not necessity--of . their 'receiving some training in agricultural work befor leaving this country, ar- rangements for which involve the ex- penditure of time as well as money. The problem is, then, not so simple as may at first glance appear, and even with funds available, it is.not to be solved merely by shipping off large batches of young men and women to the dominions as a remedy for unem- ployment. Its interest is very great for everyone in this country, and has been intensified by the increase in & tress brought about by the coal strike In spite of this, however, the im- provement which has taken place in the general standard of living during the past 10 or 15 years acts as a very appreciable drag on the rate of emi- na-! gration.
