Destitute Immigrants.
THE PREMIER AND MR SHRIMSKI. PBR PRESS ASSOCIATION. Oamabu, February 14. - The Hon. S. E. Shrimski has sent the following telegram to the Premier With reference to Jewish immigration :—" I am sorry that you should hare lost your temper so far as to stigmatise the action of those philanthropists at home who have bpent millions to ameliorate the condition of the unfortunate Russian Jews; v as what they are doing ia worthy of the highest commendation by all who take an interest in their fellowmen, be they black or white. The statement that the intended immigrants are paupers is probably made to influence public opinion, against them, foi there is nothing to prove that they ate. I may say that although your answer may be acceptable. to the Trades and Labour Council it will not prove to be so to the majority of thinking men, who in a free country expect no distinction to be made in the treatment by the State of civilised people. I leave the matter to the judgment of my fellow colonists.—S. B. Bhrimski,"
