IMMIGRATION MATTERS.
INVESTIGATORS VISIT FLOCK HOUSE. (by TELEGRAPH PRESS. ASSOCIATION.) PALMERSTON N., Jan. 27. Commissioner and Mrs. Lamb, of the Salvation Army, paid'a visit yesterday to Flock House in continuance of their tour of the North Island investigating immigration prospects. The Commissioner was greatly impressed with the magnificent hostel and estate. The visitors showed keen interest in the lads who were in residence, whom they addressed, exhorting them to remember the heritage left by their fathers who had fought on the sea for Britain. They appealed to the boys to fight a good fight. In the course of an interview, the Commissioner said that the key to the' immigration question was here, not in England, because it depended on the power of the Dominions to absorb new settlers, not on the economic and social conditions in the Homeland. He expressed himself as being hopeful that liis visit would be fruitful.
