CHAP. 111] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 1533 beneficially or otherwise, and by what methods consistent with the existing fixed policy of each part the trade of each part with the other mav be improved and extended. A rider to this resolution in effect is that (xxi)? on (g) the All-Red Route, which runs :— That in the interests of the Empire it is desirable that Great Britain should be connected with Canada and New- foundland, and through Canada with Australia and New Zealand, by the best mail service available. for it was agreed that in view of the impossibility of Australia co-operating in any existing scheme, the matter could well be discussed by the Royal Commission. (kh) Emzgration and Labour Exchanges On June 9 the question of Emigration! was discussed, and Mr. Burns was present to represent the Local Government Board. Mr. Fisher formally moved the re-affirmation of the resolution of the Conference of 1907, that it was desirable to encourage British emigrants to proceed to British Colonies rather than to foreign countries ; that the Imperial Govern- ment be requested to co-operate with any Colonies desiring immigrants in assisting suitable persons to emigrate, and that representatives of the Dominions be nominated to the Committee of the Emigrants’ Information Office. Mr. Bat- chelor supported the resolution, and Sir Joseph Ward was also in favour of it, while Mr. Malan, on behalf of South Africa, and Sir Edward Morris, on behalf of Newfoundland, were ready to support it. Mr. Burns, in reply, laid before the Conference a series of figures indicating in the most interesting manner the great change which had taken place in the nature of emigration in the last ten years. In 1900 the percentage of emigrants from the United Kingdom who went to parts of the British Empire was only 33 per cent. ; in 1906 it had risen to 54 per cent. ; in 1910 to 68 per cent., and in the first four months of 1911 the proportion had risen to nearly 80 per cent. Moreover, the numbers were very large ; in 1911 the total emigration would probably amount to 300,000, + Cd. 5745, pp. 198-206; 5746-1, pp. 216-23. rt 12793
