“URGENT NEED FOR MIGRATION”
ADDRESS TO ROTARY CLUB
MASTERTON, September 1. That with the continuation of present trends and no migration, New Zealand’s population would never reach 1,750,000, but would dwindle to about 200,000 in 100 years, was the assertion made to the Rfttary Club to-day by Mr L. R. Palmer, lecturing for the Dominion Settlement Association.
Mr Palmer emphasised the urgent need of a policy of planned and adequately financed migration, not only as a means of making New Zealand a better place to live in, but also as a means of showing other nations that New Zealanders were prepared to use the country they claimed, and not adopt a “dog-in-the-manger” attitude.
A memorial to 5000 German sailors who lost their lives while serving in submarines during the war has been unveiled at Kiel, Germany.:
A blind Sheffield man, with his fortnight’s pension in his pocket, walked nearly all the 300 miles from Sheffield to the Empire Exhibition at Glasgow, and made plans to walk back.
