ALLOCATION OF NEW IMMIGRATION QUOTAS

Explained by U.S. Consul

PERSON" ADMITTED ON COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. In explaining the provision of the new Immigration Act for the United States, Mr. W. L. Lowric, United States Consul for New Zealand, said the minimum quota of 100 per annum applies iu the case of New Zealand. There are always applications in excess of the quota aud that of the next fiscal year to July 1, 1930, is already filled. No matter where a person is residing, he is allowed in the quota of the country of his birth and consequently. many applications are received at the New Zealand consular office from all countries.

Sir. Lowrie said that there were approximately 150 overseas applications on hand and they would take approximately ten years to dispose of. It is much easier for a New Zealander residing here to obtain a permit than if he were overseas. Those persons who desire to enter the United States and who are not required to be included in any particular quota are as follows:—Persons making visits to tho United States on business and pleasure for periods of not more than six months, students who are able to present proof of acceptance at any United States institute of learning, Ministers of the Gospel and professors in an educational institution who go to the States to continue their vocations, unmarried children of American citizens under 21 years of age and wives of American citizens.
