OTTAWA. CANADA, 6.b N ,rch. 1880.

For some years past have taken most
lively lntere.t In the question Of Europsan
emigration to The New World, believing IL 70
bo the only rAtIonsl meAns OF improving the
social condition and providing for the wants
OF the surplus population oil Europe, while ht
the same time the introduction OF good
class Of m'grants would be highly beneacisl
TO this continent. Such being my view of the
question, 1 wRs anxious 10 become an active
promoter OF aud emigration scheme, aud IN
carrying out the idea, my attention was par
ticularly directed 10 a practicable plan Tor
the prOmotiOn OF female enigrAtion.
When il b rlin last winter was requested
By the Foreign Office TO lay down NV propo-
ailioR as to how such cOntrol should DO ex-
ercIsed and the following poiats were c0Dsid-
cred suitable for acceptance and for the work
ing out OF them by Central CUmmittee, TO
be formed In the latter citv:--
