THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION

ASHBURTON, Feb 28 Interviewed by a Guardian reporter, the Hdn Mr Millar said that the Government intended to continue th c importation of agricultural -laborers and domestic servants, but would spread the reqnuircment, which h e estimated for all industries at 2,700, including 500 girls, over two years, and obtain all from the British Isles, if possible. Excellent reports were given of the standard of the immigrants of the past few years, nd similar methods of system would not be acceptable with the Government or private employers. No definite employment or period would be granted— in fact, they would not" depart from th c present system.
