THEORIGINALSCHEME.

Briefly,theGovernmentschemeas firstdraftedamountedtothisCompulsoryinsuranceagainstsickness andinfirmityforallwage-earners, belowtheincome-taxlimitandbetweensixteenandseventeenyearsof age,theminimumamountofbenefit tobeis.perweekforanindefinite period,thePremiumstobePaidone halfbytheworkerandtheother halfjointly,andinequalproportions bytheemployersandtheState,the generaladministrationofthescheme tobevestedinapprovedfriendlysocietiesalsosomewhatsimilarinsuranceagainstordinarytrade depressionidlenessforabout2imillionsofworkmenengagedinindustriesspeciallyliabletounemployment,theminimumofthisinsurance tohe7s.orSs.aweekforfifteen ortwentyweeksinanyyear,half thePremiumstobecontributedb, theinsuredandtheotherhalfby theemployers,withaStatesubventionadded,butwhethertheadministrationofthisinsurancewas tobevestedinthelabourexchangesorinthetradeunions,orinthe exchangesandunionsjointly,orin theunionsandemployers'associationsjointly,orinauthoritiesor bodiesspeciallycreatedforthepurPosewasnotdefinitelydecided.

FURTHERSUGGESTIONS.

Complementarytothissuggestion forthenationalisationofthecollectingsocieties,apleahasbeenput forwardinfavourofunemployment, beingcoveredbythesamefundrs sickness. OnthispointtheargumentisthatiftheStateisgoing toinsuretheworkersagainsttrade depressionunemploymentaswelles invalidityunemployment,oneflint wouldbebetterthantwo-that't wouldbemuchbettertohaveens simplescaleofcontributionsfoe bothrisks,withonesimplescaleof benefits,andonesimpleform of management,thantosetupadual system.

Inthematterofunemployment especially,itisthoughtthattheoriginalplanoftheGovernmentwould scarcelyworkoutfairlyeithertoemployersorworkmen.Theideawas toexperimentfirst,withafewselectedindustriestosetupaseparatefundPoreachseparatetrade; andtobasethePremiumsorrates ofcontributions,asnearlyaspossibleupontheaverageliabilityto unemploymentinthevarioustrades.

These, andotherviewsarebeingstrongly urgedupontheGovernment,andit isindeed,gratifyingtofindthat suggestionswithaviewtoperfectingtheStateschemearebeingso warmlyiielcomed.

THECOLONIALSECRETARYINTERVIEWED.

Itisacuriousandunaccountable factthatofthethousandsofimmigrantswhohaveflockedtothese shoresinrecentyears,veryfew havehailedfromIreland,alittleislandthathasdoneasmuchforcolonisationandnationbuildingas anyothercountryonearth.Fora centuryormoreIrelandhasbeen givinghersonsanddaughtersto theyoungercountriesoftheglobe, andtheIrishimmigrantisasfamiliarinplacesofenergyandenterprise,asthesunitself.Everywhere thetransplantedIrishmanisawelcomeandrespectedcitizen.Heis oneofthebiggestfactorsinthe UnitedStatesto-day,heistaking hisshareinconvertingCanadainto anation,andheisfoundProminentandhonouredineverywalkof lifeinAustralia.Yet,whyis it thatAustralia,vwhichshouldappeal moststronglytohisloveofpoliticalandreligiousliberty,andhis inherentdesireforsocialandeconomicindependence,hasbeencomparativelyneglectedofrecentyearsby theenterprisingCelt?

Theunquestionabledesirabilityof theIrishmanasanimmigrantfor WesternAustralia,whichiscraving forpopulationofanenergeticand industrioustype,promptedarepresentativeof"TheRecord,"toseek aninterviewwiththeColonialSecretary(Hon.J.D.Connolly),asto hisviewsonthissubject,andthe opportunitieswhichthisStateof WesternAustraliapresentsforthe proitableinvestmentofIrishbone andmuscle.Mr.connolly,himself anIrishmanbydescentalthoughan Australianbybirth,controlstheImmigrationDePt.,andhasofrecent yearsgivenenthusiasticattentionto theinspiringtaskoffindingpeople toownanddevelopourvastvacant spaces.

"Iamfullyawareofallthese facts,"Mr.Connollyreplied,"I havemadeaspecialstudyof the subjectIamconvincedoftwo things:-Firstthatowingto the smallholdings,andthelargefamilies,emigrationfromIrelandmust continueformanyyearstocome.

"AreyoutheninfavourofdepopulatingIrelandforthebenefitof WesternAustralia?"

"BynomeansIbelievethatall thosewhocanmakeadecentliving inIrelandoughttostaythere.But therearemanyinIrelandwhocannotearnadecentwageorlivein comfort.Someofthemareleaving forAmericaandCanadaeveryyear; now,Imaintainthatatthepresent timeWesternAustralia,wouldbea bettercountryineveryway,for thoseIrishemigrantsthaneither AmericaorCanada."
