OVERSEAS TRAVEL.
WHERE NEW, ZEALANDERS GO IMMIGRATION FLOW ANALYSED. SPECIAL TO THE STAR. WELLINGTON, May 2. The elaborate questioning of passengers’ who- arrive on the overseas steamers, which cause's critical comment now and then has at least tlie advantage that the Government Statistician .is able to analyse in great detail the flow of population overseas. His latest report covering the year 1927, shows that the Government’s suspension of assisted immigration except m the cases of contracts already made, and for tlie purpose of uniting families, has had. the result of causing a big drop in the number of arrivals inten ding permanent residence. Figures for the last few years are somewhat striking in this respect. Immigrants, 1924, 14,314; 1925 15704; 1926, 17,868; 1927, 11,327.
