FEWER IMMIGRANTS.
RESTRICTIONS TO REMAIN.! UNTIL END OP THE TEAR, DECISION OF CABINET. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Sunday.
The existing restrictions on immigration to New Zealand will remain in force until the end of the present year. On account of the economic situation the flow of immigration was first restricted last year, the restrictions being imposed in London at the beginning of last April, and actually affecting arrivals here as from the following month. Under the new policy migrants! were confined to domestics and members of separated families. Juveniles brought! out under the Flock House, Salvation! Army, and Church of England schemes! were not affected. i
It was intended that the restrictions should last until last October, but on the expiry date it was considered expedient to extend them until December 31. A further extension was then decided upon l until March 31, 1928, and Cabinet has 1 now advised the High Commissioner for! .New Zealand in London that the restricremain in force until the end of 1928.
