THE HOUSING PROBLEM.
A conference held in Wellington has passed a series, of resolutions, demanding greater activity in the provision of homes for the people, and that emigration be stopped until those already here are provided for. The first demand will meet with general approval. The latter, however, will not be so freely endorsed. There is ample ..provision in the Dominion for immigrants of the right class, namely, domestic servants, farm labourers, navvies, and single carpenters and miners. To stop immigration entirely would be t° seriously impede the progress of our internal development. The Government should make a strenuous effort, in combination with local authorities, to provide houses as rapidly and as cheaply as possible. There is grave unrest throughout the Dominion at the present unsatisfactory state of affairs in regard to houses.
