NEW ZEALAND QUOTA FULL.
In each year ending June 30, the Dominion is allowed to send 100 of its citizens to help to swell the permanent population of the United States of America, this quota being fixed by law and being based upon the number of New Zealanders already in the States. Apparently many more than 100 annually wish to exchange the Southern Cross for the Stars and Stripes, for the quota for this year, as has been the case in previous years, is more than full, there being nearly enough applications in hand to fill next year's; quota too.. Ten per cent, or a little more of the quota is reserved for New Zealanders now resident overseas who wish to make their home in the States; it is necessary for these to make application through the I country of their birth. This portion of the quota is full for about seven, years ahead, so unless New Zealand's quota is enlarged many on the waiting list will find it a long time before they can live in the United States.
