period sS1. 900 more males than To-
males died. II follows that practi-
cally all the increase in the excess
number Of females over males at all
ages In England and Wales between
1871 and 1911 was caused ty the ex-
cess of male over female migration.
This latter excess amounted to $780,
600.
With regard to women, in 1911
there were in the United Kingdom
100000 more females than males.
and in the self governing Dominions
1920 more males than females.
During the war the surplus Of fe-
males in the United Kingdom must
unfortunately have increased. In
the Dominions. on the other hand, the
war has caused, temporarily at any
rate, some adjustment of the dispro-
portion.
Obviously one of the problems for
solution in connection. with Imperial
migration Is whether It Is desirable
and possible to divert to the Do
minions any proportion OF the sur
plus OF women in the Mother country.
What the Dominions require espec-
tally are agricultural laborers and
domestic servants. The commits
sioners state that there were clear
indications before 1914 that the agri-
cultural population of the United
Kingdom, on which the Dominions
had drawn so largely in past years.
was no longer capable OF providing
any considerable supply of migrants.
The purely rural population of the
Mother country was not In excess OF
her own necessity.
