IMMIGRATION SCHEME FOR AUSTRALIA GALLS FOR BIG EXPENDITURE

(By Associated Treel SYDNEY, N. S.far., Dec. 20 Details of a comprehensive immigration rcheme, involving the expenditure of 36,000.000 pounds sterling, have just

been announced by Prime Minister j Hughes. i The plan is an outgrowth of the agreements reached at the conference of British premiers last year and provides that the initial cost of settling a new farmer is to be assumed by the three governments concerned the British empire, the commonwealth and the state. An arrangement has been completed with the premier of West Australia under which 6.000 new settlers are to be introduced into that state at the joint expense of the three governments, with a total loan expenditure of 6,000,000 pounds sterling. The premior has undertaken to introduce 75,000 new setlers within five years. A similar arrangement has been reached with the Victorian government and the premier has announced that he is ready to negotiate with all of the states a3 soon as they indicate a willingness to provide farms. At present the flow of immigrants to Australia is between 25,000 and 30,000 annually, but with the new scheme, for which 36,000,000 pounds is available it is expected that the number will reach approximately 100,000 a year.
