New Immigration Plan
At Sydney Being Devised
8VI'N’EY, N. S W„ Jan. 4. 1)
tails of a comprehensive immigra
lion scheme, involving the expendi-j
ltint of 36,000,000 pounds sterling, 1
have just been announced by Primei
Minister Hughes.
The plan is an outgrowth of the
Agreements reached at the confer-1
nee of British Premiers last year
inti provides that the initial cost ofj
settling a new farmer is to be as-1
sumed by the three governmentsj
concerned—the British Empire, thei
Commonwealth and the State.
An arrangement lias been com
pleted with the Premier of West
Australia under which 6,000 new J
■ettlers are to be introduced intoj
hat State at the joint expense of
he three governmftits, with a total i
expenditure of 6,000,000 pounds!
sterling. The Premier has under-1
(alien to introduce 75,000 new set-!
tiers within five years.
A similar arrangmeent has been
reached with the Victorian govern-1
ment, and the Premier has an-j
nounced tiiat he is ready to nego-j
Mate with all of the states as soon!
as they indicate a willingness to
provide farms.
At present the flow of immigrants
to Australia is between 36,000 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.
Revises Histories to
Teach Better Relations
TOKIO, Jan. 4.—-Sweeping re
forms have been effected in Hie
■’.ohool histories. All militaristic
ideas have been eliminated and lcs-l

biographies of national heroes and
famous men in international history, j
Of 4u0 men whose life stories are
old, fifty belong to foreign lands
uid include Washington, Lincoln,,
Edison, Marconi and Watt. The;
Washington Conference results are1
described as they effect Japan and|
her part in insuring peace in the
Pacific.
Attempting to Cut Down

TOKIO, Jan. 4 An effort is be
ing made by the Kato ministry to
lo op the Imperial Government's bor
rowing to 150,000,000 yen yearly.
This would be outside of the raising
nf nocessary funds to redeem old
bonds falling due, which, during the
next fiscal year, amount to approxi
mately 500,000,000 yon.
