just now Il appears that Great Britain is making
strenuous efforts populate The Empire and at the
same time insure that 10 shall everywhere remain British

Dominion welcomes the influx Of Americans. the British
do not want to The character and sentiment lose

port that the Domnlons still look largely to The agri-
cultural districts OF The United Kingdom for the supply
Of emigranis Of the type they require They recognize

feel themselves therefore direct interest in the
agricultural policy being thought out by the
home government and they would welcome well consd-
cred measures taken to increase the agricultural popua

league and wanted out Of the British dominons2
