IMMIGRATION
A QUARTER’S FIGURES. IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT SCHEME. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 10. A return famished by the Immigration Department to the Prime Minister shows that for the first four months of the present year 1351 immigrants arrived in New Zealand. This number does not of course include returning soldiers and war workers. For this month the number of immigrants will probably be 1000. Mr Massey said that most of these were “nominated” by friends or Relatives in this country, and such immigrants were of no concern to the Government, as they all had friends to go to for advice as soon as they arrived. Of the immigrants who have arrived, 141 men have come out under the Imperial Government’s scheme for assisted passages to cx-scrvice men. There are still a very large number of the New Zealand war-work-ers, those members of the New Zealand colony in England who did so much for the soldiers during the war remaining in England and desiring to come out to New Zealand when opportunity offers.
