Emigrants Tokyo, Oct. 7.
Emigration to Manchoukuo is being urged by the Government upon all Japanese citizens thrown out of work by the proposed new national structure resulting in the ban on the manufacture of luxury goods and other official measures, the "Kokumin" announced today.
To help prospective settlers, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is setting up a consultation office Where information will be given free.
The principal groups which may be considered potential emigrants are charcoal dealers, who were forced cut of business by the strict control of distribution, retail rice dealers, also hit by control of their business, and those falling under the ban on luxury goods. These groups include goldsmiths, silversmiths, and embroiderers of gold and silver thread.
Since most of the people in the above lines have no experience whatsoever of farming, they will be trained in Japan before being sent out to Manchoukuo.
As a further encouragement, prospective settlers will be given full travel expenses and will obtain a Government subsidy upon starting a sèw life in Manchoukuo.—Havas.
