INFLUX OF ASIATICS.
GOVERNMENT TO TAKE ACTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The influx of Asiatics into the Dominion and the uneasiness occasioned thereby have not escaped the attention of the Government. Mr. Massey staled to-day that the difficulty in dealing 1 with the matter was accounted for by Indians, to whose arrival exception is being taken, being British subjects. The matter has been referred to the Crown Law Officers to ascertain whether there is sufficient power at present vested in the Government to check this immigration. If the powers now existing prove insufficient, then Parliament will be asked to deal with the matter as early as possible in the session which commences in June.
