The tlrist qualification of the Im
migrant Is suitability. Tho only
people In Auntr.ilia who asked me
for financial help were emigrants
from ?tr>'Ut Britain. and In e\ery
caso they were "misfits." On the
other hand. I talked with many
emigrants, recently arrived who are
well satisfied, and In many rn?pi ? I
lighted, with their surroundings ami
prospects. Almost all these were
inarr ? ?1 men who had had some ex
perience In agriculture or horses at
home.

spoke did not appear to think that
they wire better off hern than in

automatically to the control of the
states, who are solely responsible
, for their reception, placing in em
ployment and general welfare. In
brief, the states do tins work within
Australia and the commonwealth
1 utside. The commonwealth bears
all the financial I urden, and gives
the states a blank check for immi
gration. The present commonwealth
, government has made It clear that
:t will obtain, regardless of cost, all
the Immigrants desired by the states
Defect.* of the Scheme.
One weakness of this arrangement
it that it leave to the individual
states the right to say how many
people shall be brought to Australia.
The commonwealth cannot Hive
financial assistance or other encour
agement to a single person until a
request has been received from one
of the States. This leaves the movo
x, mont at the mercy of every political
change in any of the states. l'o
lotlcal changes In Australia have had
more Influence upon Immigration
than seasonal or Industrial changes.
For Instance, at present there ate
labor governments in New South
Wales and Queensland. Many of the
ministers in those stales appear to
he strongly In favor of Immigration;
hut I was told that they are largely
ut tho mercy of labor leaders out
side Parliament, and thpse leaders
usually represent immigration as a
? capitalist's device to Hood the labor
market, force down wages, and gen
erally prejudice working conditions.
Tho result is that, while the labor
governments at present In Australia
and tlioso which were in office before
the war, havo not teen altogether
opposed to immigration, they have
never shown any real activity In it.
' Their Immigration work has been
done almost surreptitiously.
"Kept White" In I.oeal Slognn.
But the main defect in leaving the
decision upon Immigration with tho
states rather than with the common
f wealth as a whole, la that It robs
the subject of tho broad, national
aspect. Tho states regard it purely
from a closif. Industrial prtint of
view. They ignoro the outstanding
fact that immigration is tho 0110
> sure means by ?which Australia may
be defenned and kept white, to Uso
the local "slogan." They Ignore, too,
tlio r.fTnct which Immigration would
havo upon tho hugo unreproduitive
war debt. Again, the states run on
Independent and often divergent
Jines. At present Rome are encour
, aging 0110 class of immigrant and
somo another. Thl8 prevents the sub

si. . k recently when ten teton Imys
engaged in boxing competitions with
t'i? members of an Kast tend hoys

Nevertheless, when the boxing

won nine of them and only a solitary

"It was undeniably a decisive?we
