MOTHER-IN-LAW QUESTION
FACTOR IN IMMIGRATION (Rec. 2 p.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 18. The mother-in-law question is a iaetor in immigration from New Zealand and Australia to the United States, says the “Journal of Commerce.” According to the Justice Department’s immigration service, both New Zealand’s and Australia’s immigration quotas are now over-subscribed, and the countries have waiting lists several years long,” because American servicemen’s newly-acquired relatives want to come to America too. Serveemen’s wives are on a non-quota basis, but mothers-in-law and other relatives must apply for a place on the quota. The State Department estimates that 20,000 wives are awaiting passage from New Zealand and Australia.
