IMMIGRATION CONTROL.

THE QUESTION OF HEALTH. The medical examination of immigrants and the general health of persons entering New Zealand through assisted sources has oftun been the subject of comment. It was raised again at the Hospitals Conference at Wellington by Mr Bellringer, of New Plymouth, who asked if the departmental officers considered whether the present system was an adequate and sufficiently stringent one. Dr Frengley, district health officer, sain that the Department was doing all it could at this end. It had to be remembered that the boats on arrival here, however, could not be detained sufficiently long to make an examination of each passenger such as would be carried out by Dr Hardwicke Smith, for instance. It was at the other Gnd, the port of embarkation, that stringent examination was needed. A couple oyears ago he remembered three conf sumptives arriving. One died in three days after arrival, one in ten and the other was sent Home again. They said they had been told nothing about the conditions of landing here. The Department hoped that something would be done at the other end to ensure every security.
