IMMIGRATION.
New Zealand appears to have no attractions for British immigrants of the right stamp. The .reason is not far to seek. New Zealand has no freehold land to- offer the British farmer. With hundreds of thousands of .acres not yet ihrought under cultivation, and .thousands of people in and out of tlhe Dominion rea>2y and anxious to enter into possession and connect-the miles of waste lands into cultivated farms, we have a Government standing supinely by and letting matters drift. What a contrast in this respect As the Canadian Government to that of New Zealand. The London Daily Mail says:—, "Mr William Scott, ■superintendent of the Dominion Immigration Department, who (has just returned from his annual visit to Great Britain, '.predicts 'that immigration from the Motherland to Canada .this .season .wail .beat all .records, both as to quality atiicl quantity.' Mr Scott predicts that arrivals from Great Britain this year will number practically 175,000, an increase of 50 per cent, over last year. Owing to all the accommodation in the Canadian boats having been taken, many of the emigrants will .readh Canada via the ports of New York and Boston."
