HINDOOS IN AUCKLAND.
GOVERNMENT ACTION PROMISED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The question of taking steps to «lieck the growing influx of Hindoos, which was' discussed by the Auckland City Council at its meeting last week, was referred to the Prime Minister (the lion. W. F. Massey), who at once made it clear that the matter is receiving the serious consideration of the Government. "The difficulty that has to be faced," said the Prime Minister, "is that these people are British subjects. Any legislation dealing with the matter, I think, would have to be agreed to by the Imperial authorities before becoming law. Whatever happens, something must be done to prevent an undue influx, either of Hindoos or any other class of Asiatics. I can onlv say that the question will be. firmly and,' I hope, effectively dealt with by the Government, and soon."
