IMMIGRANTS WANT TO RETURN HOME
NO WORK IN NEW ZEALAND Press Association. TIMARU, Monday. The Mayor and representatives of the Citizens’ Unemployment Committee waited on the Hon. F. J. Rolleston, Attorney-General, to-day and asked on behalf of immigrants who are out of work and wish to return to England whether they would be allowed to do so before the expiry of five years’ residence in the Dominion. It was represented that many immigrants were in a bad plight and consider they have better prospects of obtaining work in England than in New Zealand. The Minister asked that the name of each immigrant who desired to return to England be forwarded to him and promised to see what could be done in the matter. In reply to a question as to whether the Government would assist these immigrants financially to return to England, the Minister said he did not think the Government would assist any immigrant to return home if he had been monetarily assisted to come here.
