IMMIGRATION NOT TO BE ENCOURAGED
While Unemployment Lasts STATEMENT BY PRIME MINISTER By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, January 23. The Government will not encourage immigration so long as the present state of acute unemployment continues, according to a statement made by the Prime Minister, Rt. lion. G. AV. Forbes, to-night. Mr. Forbes was asked to comment on an announcement by cable that Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, British Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the Dominions, is to report to his Government, on the attitude of New Zealand and Australia toward a revival of Empire migration. “Immigration into this country is not actually prohibited,” said Mr. Forbes, “but not a great many people are coming in. They can enter the country, but we are not assisting immigrants in any way or giving any encouragement to immigration. It is necessary, furthermore, for new arrivals to have a certain amount of means so that there will be no immediate possibility of their having to depend on the country for support.”
