“There appears to be little prospect of the season’s traffic assuming anything approaching normal proportions,” remarks the Government Statistician in the latest Abstract of Statistics. “The past few months have shown a heavy decline in the aspect of migration, while for the month under review the figure is 21.1 per cent, below that recorded for January, 1931. Altogether arrivals during the month (excluding crews) were 35 per cent, fewer than during the corresponding period of last year. Immigrants stating their intention to reside permanently in the Dominion numbered only 164, an extremely low figure, and one 70.2 per cent, below January of last year. Departures during the month (exclusive of crews) were comparatively few, the total showing a decrease of 29.4 per cent, over January of the previous year.” It is understood that arrangements are being made for an aeroplane to leave Sydney at midnight on March 19 for New Zealand carrying a film and other matter relating to the opening of the Harbour Bridge.
