The society had been active in emigration for 57 years and in that time it had assisted thousands of people to settle in the British Dominions, said Mr Culver. The main object of his visit to New Zealand was to establish additional representatives who -would undertake tlie work of assisting m tlm settling of selected British immigrants when the Government was ready to receive them. : It would help-immigration schemes materially if the New Zealand Government would restore the nomination system which in the past had been responsible for bringing many fine types of people to the country, said Mr Culver.
