IMMIGRATION.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —In replying to "A.C.," I do not wish to cast any slur on our early pioneers. I only wish to show that "spoon-feeding" of any one class is wrong. "Nemo" has employed many New Zealanders, also "Hqmies," and any employer that keeps a "Homie" or colonial who cannot perform his or her duties at once makes his business into a benevolent institution. Re "boys" who fell for New Zealand, also those who returned home to New Zealand alive, I note, according- to "A.C.," that neither the parents of killed or descendants of living are eligible for membership of the association. Re claim-jumping mentioned in previous letter; is not the country of our origin the greatest claimjumper the world has ever known; if not, why are we here to-day? "A.C." should try to cultivate the spirit of New Zealand's greatest customer, 'the colossal C.W.S. and the E. and S.C.W.S., with their thousands of distributive societies and thousands of branch shops, and nine millions of members, all British working people and workers' capital. Here is their slogan, "Each for all and all for each." Fair competition is all "Homies" are entitled to, and I hope they will get it.—l am, etc., * NEMO.
