IMMIGRATION.
"TIME NEW ZEALAND WOKE UP."
Auckland, September 10. Writing from Sydney, under date August 8, a former resident of Auckland referred to the number of immigrants arriving in Australia, and incidentally expressed the opinion that it was time"New Zealand woke up to the necessity for inaugurating a vigorous immigration policy. '•Yesterday," lie -writes, "'2381 immigrants arrived by three vessels, and next month 1500 more are to arrive, all for New South Wales. When is New Zealand going to follow this country's example and go in for a vigorous immigration policy'/" In the.concluding portion of his letter he states that all the new arrivals would get work quickly, although the Bricklayers' Union were growling at there being too many "brickies" in the country. As against that, however, the builders say the building work is being hung up for the want of bricklayers and bricks.
