It is iot I too late to set in motion machinery to handle I immigration in a manner likely to be beueficial I to the country and the immigrant. New Zea.

Let us set about putting our "ship I in order that the right type of immigrant • may come and call New Zealand his country, ' The question of immigrants purchasing mar- H garine in preference to butter should not come , into the picture. Production and consumption of New Zealand produce within the. Dominion : is another subject. Stick to imniigration, '.-:;. "Irish," and don't cry out with, a loud.voice if immigrants find and keep a good job} for that is exactly why they come—to'-get work, < "New Zealand for the British" should be tk ■ • slogan kept in mind when studying the prob- : lem of immigration. One should a'.so remember that the question of one's birthplace should S not set up a barrier between British-speaking folk. Let us .assist in the building up' of a British Dominion second to none.
