Emigration To Be Controlled
Throughout British Empire

LONDON, July 1s:-Emigration
from England after the war may be
guided and controlled by the govern
ment, II a bill now before h House
of Commons Is passed.
This bill, which was recommended
by the Dominions Royal Commission,
has two objects; to constitute a CEN
tain executive powers in connection
with emigration from the United
Kingdom. and to control those &C
lively connected with emigration,
such as passage brokers and emigra-
ton societies.
The central authority would repre-
sent all parts of the empire. Its
duties would consist of distributing
information to prospective emigrants,
advising and assisting them in their
choice bf future homes, especially In
the case of members of the naval,
military or air forces OF the empire
and their wives, widows and depend
ents.
All passage brokers would con-
duct their businesses after receiving
licenses from the government and
after paying a bond of f12, 500 TO in
sure their good faith. No emigration
societies would be allowed to carry
on propaganda work without h APP
proval of the authorities.
This reconstruction policy" says
Mr.. Hewins, under secretary for the
colonies, will not in any way in
fringe upon the personal liberty OF
any Englishman to emigrate where
he desires, but II will be our policy
to set before the prospective emil
grant the advantages of making his
home in one of the possessions Of the
empire. We merely aim to give def
mite encouragement to the utilization
of the emigration that does take
place for building up the strength
and prosperity of the empire"

Parrots are playful, but eaglets are
not, and no one has ever been able
successfully to tame an eagle. Among
sea mammals. seals r very playful,
sea lions are not, and trained seals
are among the cleverest performers OF

animals, the elephant alone possesses
playful character In youth, and thus.
