MIGRATION POLICY
MR L. R. PALMER ADDRESSES ROTARIANS. URGENT NEEDS STRESSED. That, with the continuation of present trends and no migration, New Zealand’s population would never reach a million and three-quarters, but would dwindle to about 200,000 in a hundred years, was the assertion made to Masterton Rotarians today by Mr L. R. Palmer, M.A., lecturing on behalf of the Dominion Settlement Association. Mr Palmer stressed the urgent need of a policy of planned and adequately financed migration, not only as a means of making New Zealand a betr ter place to live in, but also as a means of showing other nations that we were prepared to use the country we claimed and not adopt the dog-in-the-manger attitude. Steps are to be taken to form a Masterton branch of the Dominion Settlement Association.
