We (Post) conclude that we have now received the first fruits: of the Yogel policy, in the shape of the batch of Swedish immigrants who arrived yesterday. True, they have rather anticipated ia their arrival the money which was to provide means of employment for them, but what of that ? The Government, as it is said, has undertaken to find them at the Colony's expense, house-room and food until they are placed in employment, and it is further stated that if any or, all of them are dissatisfied with New Zealand, after a short trial, they will be sent back to Sweden, at the expense of the tax-payers of this Colony.
