Britons in Thousands Petition For Admittance to Canada By JOHN DAUPHINKK. LONDON, Aug.

29. CP) Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children want to leave Britain to set up new homes in the Dominions and Southern Rhodesia. The movement can't begin in earnest until next year when shipping space becomes available, but Commonwealth offices in London are flooded with callers who want information about employment prospects and living conditions. Meantime, symptomatic of the trend, the latest song craze is want to be a refugee from Most Pooular Lands. Canada and Australia are most popular among the would-be British emigrants.

"Every Canadian office ln Britain in fact, everywhere in Europe is besieged by people who -want to go says Frederic Hudd, acting high commissioner. "Even our trade commissioners get scores of requests for information. "And that's before Canada has announced her post-war immigration policy." Here are reports from London offices of the Commonwealth countries: Canada "Thousands upon thousands of British people have expressed a wish to move to Canada; Ontario Hojue alone has accepted signed applications from some 40,000 persons, exclusive of dependents, and another 20,000 have "shown British Columbia House keeps no accurate records but every mall brings questions about life In that province.

Much of this can be incorporated in the forthcoming 1947 models without greatly altemlng present tooling. It will appeal to many makers because they want appearance changes that will not require extended plant shutdowns. Two mechanical changes that forms to take advantage of Aus-Britons have signed application tralia's assisted migration scheme; and Australia House estimates this covers 125,000 men, women and children; as many as 5,000 applicants a day were made when the plan was first announced and though the number has dropped off the special immigration office still handles hundreds of visitors a day. New Zealand Applications are at a rate of 200 to 300 weekly, despite announcements that New Zealand does not plan to encourage immigration until its, post-war housing drive is well under way. South Africa Some hundreds have already been absorbed and 400 applications are received weekly, with a total of 7,000 or 8,000 since the war ended; Prime Minister Smuts' recent statement that South Africa plans to "throw open our doors" to Europeans brought 400 letters in one day.

Australia is farther ahead with immigration plans than the other countries. Her "Population for Defence" campaign aims at 70,000 immigrants a year, British subjects preferred. In 1947 the target will be half the normal average because shipping space will still be tight Southern Rhodesia now is negotiating a similar agreement witn wmtehail.
