dis principal argument
in fevly
to

was that

UNEVEN PISTRIBUTION
OF
POP-
ULATION.
@
Two ¢rave problems
have
arisen
over
which authorities
are especially
concern-
ed.
. One
is to
determine
what
shall
b»
done wi:h
tha form r service
mean
who
are desirous
of migrating
to the
domin-
ions
or
to foreign
countries
(principally
the
United
States)
in the
hope offind-
ing
better
opportunities.
The
other
is
the
disposition
of England’s
large
sur
plus
of
women.
The
government
does
not question
the right of people
to leave
the mother
country
to goto
the
domin-
ions
or elsewhere,
vet it is possiole,
it is
pointad
out that
i: the restive
ones
rea-
lized
conditions
as they
are they
wculd
not
be
so
hasty.
Good
land
today
in
many
parts of England
is echeaper
than
it is in New
Zealand.
The outlying pos-
sessions
are
not
in need
of farmers
so
m
:ch as thev are of laborers and
domestic
s«
vants
but
England
needs
all
of her
rural
popuiation.
Men
especially
are
wanted
in Eneland
while in the
domin-
ions
there
are
more
men
than
women.
If
it could be possible
to persuade
the male
portion
to remain
in
the
mother
coun-
try and
induce
some
of
the surplus
wo-
men
to do
the
emigrating the problems
of
satisfactory
population
adjustment
wouldbe
much
nearer
c¢f
solution
than
they
are
at present.—
