I THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. In a letter to the Wellington Returned Soldiers' Association, Mr. Massoy said he gava no authority for a paragraph in the Edinburgh Evening News of February 7, announcing that the New Zealand Government had undertaken to find constant employment for skilled and ursicilled immigrant soldiers. [ Mr. Massey's letter continues:: "With regard tc the requeat for information in respect lo the .present immigration policy of the Government, it is purely and simply what is known as the nominated system, whereby any permanent resident of the Dominion may nominate • any person or persons residing in the United Kingdom, irrespective of relationship and of occupation, for a passage at reduced rates. I would state for your further information that the Government has already agreed to accept any ex-Imperial soldier, together with his dependents, who is successful in obtaining a free passage under the Overseas Settlement Committee scheme and is proceeding to assured employment in the Dominion. This class of immigrant must be approved of by the High Commissioner."
