The London press today discusses a suggestion voiced yesterday by Sir Alfred Beit, Conservative M.P., at a public meeting in Bristol, urging the British dominions to admit “millions of immigrants after the war.”

Some of the newspaper agree with Sir Alfred that the dominions have an opportunity to develop economically if they follow the policy pursued by the United States in the last century, of unrestricted admission of immigrants from Europe. It is understood that some dominion now realize that their position would have been stronger from both an economic and a military point of view had they followed a liberal immigration policy before the war.
