BAN ON IMMIGRANTS.
Federal Ministry Notifies
Decision.
PROTECTION FOR WORKERS
(Received 11.30 a.m.l
CANBERRA, this day.
Restriction on all alien immigration until the country's economic position improves sufficiently to warrant the lifting of the ban has been decided upon by the Federal Ministry.
The Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Blakely, has notified the various Governments and shipping companies interested that because of the extraordinary economic conditions and widespread unemployment it is undesirable that facilities be given to immigrants to come to Australia either with the intention of settling here or seeking work.
The Minister explained that the Government's object is to prevent unrestricted immigration of aliens seeking employment to the detriment iof Australian workmen. Tourists and bona fide business men, of course, are not affected.
