TO THE EDITOR OP TUB AUB. Sir, The publicity given to tho Question of migration in "Tho Ago" during the last few days is reminiscent of a similar interest taken in this project in 1000. How-eor, it is to be hoped that the lasting re sults will be greater. After the closest possible association with the migration ac-tiities for tho last quarter of a century, including two trips through Great Britain, where I came in close touch with the Im perial statesmen, as well as migration offi- uertf, uuu tne migrants cnemseives. 1 am reluctantly forced to the conclusion that present system has not only been found wanting, but cannot possibly achieve the results worthy of the expenditure, and certainly canuot help us to rcaliso the ideals of a populated Australia.

What then ore the methods to be adopted Tn my judgment the weakness of the present system is that it eliminates what might bo termed the State of local ity conscience. I hold to be essential that the Imperial Government should al lot to each State its proportion of assistance rather than as at present com pel such loan to niter through the Com monwealth Government, while after all only the fifth wheel on the conch. The 'immediate creation of an establish ment in London, to be governed by the State Agent-General, with the assistance of retired Victorians living in London, re presentatives of the Melbourne press in London, and some of our retired Governors, would create an atmosphere on behalf of Victorian migration which cannot pos- Bibly be attained under our present sys tem. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in to-day's paper is reported to have rs- icrrcu to tne necessitv ot a closer co-onera tion between such institutions as the Salva tion Army, tho Bnmardo Homes, church and business organisations. This is indeed sound, and representatives from oach of these bodies would very readily be found to act as a miaration council for Vic toria.

The Commouwealth micration authori ties could allot to each tho service of one or more of its present migration officials, who, with the assistance of private people, witn interest ana aitccvon tor the State, would bring about very great results. When was Jiucriand recent 1 foi- lowed un my work as president of the royal commission on universities by get-tine into touch with educational institu tions throughout the United Kingdom, and these places provide in my opinion the best recruiting grounds for desirable settlers. In this view I received irreat sun- port from such men as Field Marshal Bird-wood. But a line of attack which would give great results would be organisations such as the Australian Farms who have done wonders in the way ot bringing hero settlers with capital. If this and other similar institutions were given a subsidy of 60 much per head for each settler after being housed in Australia for say twelve months, you would find one- halt tlie present trouble of disgruntled migrants returning woum vouisn.

Ono of the most serious difficulties found in the present system was that in the anxietv to cet neonle to Australia there was a tendency to gather them from the streets, and in many cases they were not in a position to pay even landing money. This was very frequently borrowed from people engaged in selling passages. In fact in many cases many of the migrants were not able to produce tho 106 neces sary tor the lirst medical examination. This inability is certainly not always the evidence of the unsuitabilitv of the mi grants, but of all tho settlers who came back to England disgruntled, and conse quently our worst enemies, I found that sato to say per cent, came to Australia without any money of their own. and paid very little, if any, back to the Government of the amount owiiur bv them.

1 think it is essential that rarJiament pre pare a report showing (a) tho number of settlers who boarded the boats for Australia with less than 10: fb) the number of people who have not met their obliga tions to the uovemment, ana wno are, sav. three to six months in arrears: la) the number of people owing money to the Uovornment who cannot now do traced, and I think it will be found that it is these disgruntled ones who, having no money to lind in the hrst place, viewing the coming to Australia as a great excursion, have returned to ridicule the country and grossly misrepresent conditions lor their failure. Let it not be thought for one moment that I desire to increase the number of those who are everlastingly carping against our migration omciais. i nave seen tnem at work all over Australia, as well as throughout the United Kingdom, and the officials aro all right. It is the wretched syBtem at present in vogue, which can only be likened to a huge chain, one end in England and the other in Australia, which is responsible for the very poor results we rnv receiving when We remember the great cost.

A return showing the cost to both these countries unon every settler who has Btayed three years in this country will, am sure, cause great apprehension, and certainly substantiate the statement mac we are not receiving value for money spent, and now that the Agent-Gene ral for Victoria is in Melbourne it would be interesting to hear his views on fa) the extent to which he and his colleagues are utilised in obtaining Bettlers for Australia; (b) the advisability of setting up an establishment under which responsible people with a knowledge of each State could bo utilised in an honorary capacity in order to help people our empty spaces. A visit through the Salvation Army and Barnarrlo Homes and the systems thev adopt in transferring their boys and girls trom one part ot tne worm to tne otner, and the cost by which they are able to effect this, will establish beyond doubt that if we are to carry out the purpose of the Oversea Settlement Act conversion of our migration methods will have to be in stantly done. I have seen the migrants throughout Australia. I have seen them in their homes in Great Britain, and what is more, I have spent the seven weeks in travelling with them from Great Britain to Australia, and it is the conclusion I have formed during this experience that lends me to say reluctantly that unless an immediate change is adopted our efforts will only result in great expenditure and little Ac, 28th January.

In movimr the second reading of the bill providing for tho construction of tho Ood-1 nadatta to Alice Springsg railway, the Minister of Markets and Migration (Sir V.

Wilson), in tho Senate yesterday, said most exhaustive inquiries had becu mode regarding the proposed railway. Alternative had been suggested, between Kincoonva and Alice Springs, and from Oodnadatta to Alice Springa. It had been estimated that tho cost of the hue from. Kincoonva to Alice Springs, a. distance of 630 miles, would be 4,600,000, and that the cost of the other route, over a distance of 207 miles, would be about 1.700.000.

Tho Government had decided on the Oodnadatta to Alice Springs line, and believed that with the present scientific methods of farming the Territory could soon be converted into an extensive area bearing a very prosperous community. The building of the lino waa national undertaking. On the motion of Senator Nccdham (W.A.) tho debate was adjourned till to-day. Northern Australia Bill. Tho adjourned debate on the second reading of the Northern Australia Bill was resumed by Sonator Lynch (WA.) who said the belief that Eastern countries, particularly Japan, required an extensive outlet for surplus population, was a bogey.

Australians should give the subject Icbs consideration, lie would support the bill, but he did not agree with the proposal to place all responsibility for the development of the territory ou the shoulders of a commission. Senator Findley (V.) referring to the Government's scheme to distribute 20,000,000 for load construction through out the States, said tho Government was indirectly hastening uiuhcatiou. if tho Government had an abundance of money, why did it not look after its own territory first flu was doubtful whether the Government was proceeding on eonstitu- bioiiiu lines, poucy or onic ana stagnation in the Territory should tint hn allowed to continue any longer. Monies had been wasted in the Territory in the past, but he hoped that that period was ut an end. Senator McHugh (S.A.) said the Go vernment in decidim? uoon thn snlninna for the commissioners should not be par-somonious.

They should obtain the best men available. ihe Minister for Home and Territories (Senator Pearce) said he had met people in the back blocks of tho Territory who had never had the oppor tunity of sending their children to school, and he believed that such people had every justification for being diesatis- r.ca. ine uovemmenc wanted, to make life a little better for such persons. He had been interested in the criticism that the salaries of tho commissioners might be insuliicient. Tho Government was of opinion that it could secure officers for abcut 1500 a year.

Many men would be attracted bv such a salary who would be quite suitable. The chairman, who would have the executive mind and the driving force, would receive about 3000. iiic job was one tor Australians who knew Australian conditions. The second reading of tho bill, was agreed to. in committee, on clause aeanng witn the constitution of powers of the proposed commission Senator Needham (W.A.) moved as an amendment that the wordB "North Australian Commission" be deleted, and there bo substituted tho words "Provisional Council consisting of three members elected by the people in the area and three members nominated by the Governor-General in Council." Were the amendment carried he would move as a further amendment that the following sub clause be inserted: "That the Governor- General in (Jouncil shall appoint ono or the members to be the chairman of the Provisional Council." Ho said he believed in tho elective principle and that it should operate.

1 j'he Minister said Senator Needham was a year or two too soon. Tho elective principle would be carried out when the Territory was netter seuif.u. Senator Sir It. Harwell (S.A.) said with thi eVntivft nrinciole oneratinir at present they could not hope for success. A man of adnrnintrativi urnius was re- s-nnYnil mul mir.h a.

On clause 10. providing that the com missioners be appointed for a term not execding five years.

Senator Sir H. Bar-well moved that the words "at such rntes of remunei-ation as tho Governor-General in Council thinks fit" bo added. The amendment was agreed to by 17 votes to 7. Sonator Sir IT. Barwell, on clause IS, relating to the appointment of ofllcers, expressed the opinion that the powers of the commissioners were not wide enough, and that aboriginal questions and other such matters should come within the scope of the commimion.

The Minister said such matters were purely administrative. The Government did not want the commission to sit down at Darwin or anywhere olse and be tied down with red tape dealing with petty administrative matters. The commission would have the running of the railways, and would carry out developmental work. It would not issue mining leases, but it would aiwist in the development of mining. It had power to construct railways, roads and water supply.

Progress was reported on clause 21. At 9.45 p.m. the Senate adjourned till 11 a.m. to-day. NEWCASTLE DOCK.

Accommodation for Cruisers Suggested. Thursday. The Minister of Mines, Mr. Baddeley; the Minister" of Works. Mr.

Flannery, and the Assistant Treasurer and Minister of Justice, Mr. McKell, who were appoint by Cabinet to go into the question of constructing a floating dock at Newcastle, have decided to visit that city in order to secure certain information. The Government has not vet decided whether to construct a dock of sufficient dimensions to accommodate tho new cruiBers for the Australian navy, and thus obtain the Federal Government subsidy of 135,000. The committee will make a recommendation in this regard. Air Flight to Australia.

Sirs, O. Wood laved some magnificent shots back to Willard, but her servico was not so good aa Miss Akhurst's. R. Schlesinger and C. Wertheim hod an easy win from A.

C. Newton and W. R. James. The latter pair beat themselves.

Newton nlaytd his best game for the meeting, but James was tho bettor man. He played several fino shots, but both nieu wero weak overhead. J. B. tfawkes (V.) had tho better of Lr.

M. Hone (S.A.), who was playing erratically. Both men dropped services, after which the game, was fairly oven, with good tennis, to three all. Hone's back-hand shots were 'excellent, and he took the set, 0-4. In tho next set Hone was right off his length JIawkes, tossing and serving well, wont through to win, 6-0.

Ho aleo took the first three games in the next set. Hone's service came on in tho set, and his smash improved, but he was still off his length, and Hawkcs took the sot, 2. Hawkes played-a good gome in the fourth set, which he also took, 62. R. C.

After several long games in the doubles, Anderson and O'Hara Wood approached top form, and beat Gemmell and Gurncr iu straight sets. Anderson's play showed superb finish, and he frequently tossed on to the back lino. Gemmell was ploying well up to form, and parsed Anderson at net several thus. Gurncr aim got several tine shots, but the pair were completely overmatched- Miss Boyd service was too much for Mrs, O'Hara Wood, and Mits Boyd took the first set 'i 1. Towards the end of the set Mrs.

O'Hara Wood improved, and she took: Miss Boyd's service. She maintained this form throughout the second vet, volleying excellently and placing with lino judgment. Her length was erratic, however, and Miss Boyd, playing with machine-like precision, won the set 7 5. There was a sensational live-set struggle between E. T.

limve (S.A.) and K. I. Moon (Queensland). In the first get Rowe was obviouuly suffering from the effects of two days' illneKB, and although he executed Beveiul brilliant forehand shots could not keep out of the net. Moon was scoring with seemingly effortless shots both back and forehand, and nearly all his returns were winners.

He took the set 6 0. Rowe struck form suddenly in the second set, nnd took Moon's service with several fine drives. He also won his own service after an excellent rally, and took Moon's to lead 30. Moon levelled the score by taking the next three gainos with deadly returns and spinning services. Moon began tossing, but Kowo was playing very steadily, and took the set 0-3.

In the words of tho pamphlet tho slogans have been the war cry heralding the approach of tho main sales message."

To thoughtful people it may suggest Gabriel, and the slogan "Safety or sorrow," but to others it will only emphasise the need for escape from the present blatant and unpleasant forms of advertising.

Mr. Bruce on "While Australia." NO INFRINGEMENT. Iii the House of Hopresontativcs yestcr day tlio debute in committoo wan resumed on an amendment to clause 3 of the AniemiinK Navigation Bill. Clause 3 uiveft authority to the Governor-Genera to grant permission to unlicensed ships to engage in tho trade where it was shown that tourist traffic between uny ports in the Commonwealth was being injured or retarded. Mr.

Scullin had moved that the words "manned by whito labor" bo Mr. Wakcley (N.S.W.), in support of the amendment, said that neither the elector, nf Australia nor Bpeeiticilly the elector of Tasmania had given the Government a mandate to introduce black lahor into inter-State chipping. Ho would like the Minister to indicate to the House that no licences would be Riven except to those ships on which Australian rates of wattes were paid, or which were manned by white labor. Mr. Yates (S.A.) said tlio fncts adduced by the Commission which inquired into the Navigation Act had been ignored by the Government in framing the billl There was not one thing in the Commission's findings that could justify the bill.

The act was the thin end of the wedge to undo the whole of the effect of the Navigation Act. The Prime Minister said he thought a good deal of the argument advanced in support of Mr. Scullin's amendment was wide of the question at issue. It had been suggested that unless the Govern meut ngreed to in Bert the words "manned hy white labor" it would be doing something that would infringe the principle of tlio "white-Australia" policy. But that, ho suggested, had nothing whatever to do with the principle of "white Australia." Mr.

Fenton It deals with black crews, anyhow. The Prime Minister said the "white-Australia" policy was based on two great fundamental ideas of Australian national life tho preservation of our racial purity and the maintenance of economic standard. Jow could one of those things bo affected hy what was being done on British ship The Government stood for the principle of a "white Australia," and was prepared to do everything to safeguard it, but the "white-Australia principle did not enter into the question nt all. In entry iug out rhc legislation it was now passing, the Government was not doing unything that would infringe the "white-Australia" policy. The Government was going to do all in its power to encourage the use of white-manned ships, but it had no power to enforce the employment of white labor on British ships.

Why should the Government prevent the Australian people irom deriving benelits beennse Britain would not subscribe to the principle that ail British ships should be run hy white labor Members of the Opposition apparently were not prepared to deal with this question on its merits. (Opposition dissent.) The Seamen's Union was the one union in this country which declared that it had no objection to the employment of colored incmberb. (Ministerial cheers and Opposition dissent.) Mr. Charlton (N.S.W.): You don't take your politics from Walsh, do you Black Labor Ship. The Prime Minister said that on any question involving the employment of white labor in Australian industries members of the Government side appeared to take a much stronger line than that adopted by members of the Opposition.

(Hear, hear.) The Navigation Act now in force contained no clause which presented ships trading in Australia from being manned by black labor. (Opposition dissent.) Mr. Fenton: That act was passed fourteen years ago. Mr. Yates: There are Arbitration Court wages fixed wages which the Government well knows certain shipping people would not pay.

All tho ships licensed on the west coast of Western Australia carry blank crews. The Prime Minister said there was nothing in Section 280 of the principal act to Jrevent people smploymg black labor from getting a licence. There was no limitation to one particular State under clause 8. The clause provided only tlmt, where Circumstances existed to the detriment of the people of Australia, licences to carry passengers could bo granted. It might he that in those circumstances the assistance desired could only bo supplied by tmployers of ships with black labor.

The Leader of the Opposition: The Minuter has stated that only seven out of the thirty overseas ships calling at Hobart employed black labor. The Prime Minister said there was another phase of tho question which was fcerious. It" tho Commonwealth showed discrimination against British ships while according special treatment to our own Fiupfr which the Government would be doing if it provided that ships with black J.ilwr should ho treated in a different manner to ships with white crews it would be going completely agaiit a section of the act Which AnslKilin n-im nf tha moment (he would say mulling of the wunti Dy. umy last year tne Jjigh had ruled that the constitution of tlln Cmmnntiwnnltli nnnlic.l spn of its having been passed, subsequent to the Colonial Laws Validity Act. ii ihe proposed amendment were inserted in the amending act, the Commonwealth um laocu witn the position of hav ing tie validity of the Amending Act challenged.

Fair- bairn, and uo pay honor to Mr, Linton, the founder of the Big Brother move ment, and to Mr; Bankes Amcry, British Government representative on ni ignition matters in Australia. Mr. Fairbairn was the chairman of the movement in Lon don, and he hoped that on his return his bands would be greatly strengthened by the Government of Victoria.

it was most desirable that they should have the right class of migrant. They did not want boys who would stay in the cities, but those who would go on the land and become producers. In that sphere there were undoubtedly the greatest possibilities. (Hear, hear.) The movement had become very powerful throughout the Empire, and in particular in Australia, There was one thing which would give the movement a fillip, and that was the speech made by the Prince of Wales re cently in London, when he had showered the highest commendation on the class of boy they were bringing to Australia. To Mr.

Linton they ell owed a debt of gratitude for all that he had dono in the in terests of immigration. (Hear, hear.) There were certain obstacles, but with the help of Mr. Fairbairn and the Common wealth Government doubtless all those obstacles would be swept aside. From in formation received all the boys were doing well, and that would be a big in spirational force, and induce those of the right class to migrate. Air.

Linton's work was of a purely iiouorary nature, and tho way he had stuck to his job had been simoly fine. (Auolause.) The sincerity of tlie British Government was proved oy mo tact tnat so responsible a gentleman as Mr. Bankes Amery had been deputed to make himself conversant with Australian conditions and sentiment. Im migration was ot national moment, and the future of Australia was at stake in the bucccbs of all schemes calculated to populate our great country with Britishers oi tne rignt calibre. Mr.

(Hear, hear.) There was an unlimited suimlv of the riaht tvne of boys in Britain. They had enough big brothers for the next two years and a half, but they needed more subscribers. Major Stillman and. he had selected personally 52 boys in Scotland out of 112, but the average in Britain was only 10 or 12 per cent. Ho would suggest that the uommonwenirn review tne present standard now necessarv.
