MATTER FOR COUNTRY CONCERNED
Statement By Mr. Savage
Agreement with the view of Mr. Chamberlain concerning the admission of refugees was expressed by the Prime Minister, lit. Hon. M. J. Savage, when commenting yesterday on the above cable message from London.
“I agree with Mr. Chamberlain that it is largely a matter for the country concerned,”’said Mr. Savage. ‘‘Britain cannot tell us what we want here. We might have a general sort of understanding, and a general discussion might be helpful, but in. the finish we have to decide what to do ourselves. In any case, when the conference comes on we will have a representative there.”
Mr. Savage explained that under the existing law in New Zealand an intending migrant from a foreign country is expected to make application to the Minister of Customs in the Dominion for admission before he leaves his country.
