VICTORIA LEAGUE.
[To TRZ EDITOR or TIER "SPECTATOR."] SIR.,—On behalf of the Victoria League, may we make blown through your columns the existence of a newly formed Sub- Committee called the "Settlers' Welcome Committee," having for its object to secure by means of letters to distant branches of the League 'a weleorne for those who go from here to the overseas dominions P Any one who has lived in far-away parts of the Empire knows how all-important it is for new- 'comers to bring letters placing them quickly in communica- tion with the right people to advise and help them, whether the newcomer's object be employment, health, trade, or merely travel. Many have gone away from England for a winter, and finding good friendships and advice, have stayed, to become permanent and successful Colonists, while too many have gone to become Colonists, but finding no friends, have drifted down into the ranks of loafers and "remittance men." The Victoria League has nothing to do with emigration, nor does it undertake to find situations for any one, but having at heart the welfare of all men and women who go to try their luck in distant parts of the Empire, it hopes through the new Sub-Committee to obtain at least a welcome on arrival for all those who can show satisfactory references. Further infor- mation may be had by communicating with " The Secretary, Settlers' Welcome Sub-Committee," Millbank House, West- minster.—We are, Sir, &c.,
M. E. JERSEY,
President, Victoria League.
MARGARET J. TALBOT,
Chairman, Settlers' Welcome Sub-Committee.
E. PERCY TAYLOR,
Acting Secretary, Victoria. League.
