IMMIGRATION.
NECESSITY FOR PROGRESS. THOUSANDS ANXIOUS TO OOME. "Things at Home are not 'too good just HOW," said Mr. J. Fox, who recently returned ito New Zealand from the Old Country, speaking at Wellington, "and the people of .this country do not seem to realise it. Conditions are bad, and 1 have come to the conclusion that there are thousands of people who, if facilities are given to them, will como out to settle in the Dominion—not paupers, but middle-class people who desire to live in a better and under better general conditions. I feel, as one who has travelled all over the world several times, that there must be lacking in the people of New Zealand the public spirit necessary ito make the country attractive." The safety of New Zealand anil Australia, and even of the Pacific, depended on the people of those two countries. Australia was recognising (the fact more even than New Zealand that unless they set their house in order and attract immigration other pepole who had a lesser right to do so might drop in.
