THE IMMIGRATION POLICY.
[bt telegraph .—special correspondent.]
Wellington, Tuesday. Abo ten of the men who arrived from London by the Kumara have accepted employment on the co-operative railway works at Ohakune, and will go forward tnis week. The Government official who interview*! them lias no fear that they will not do well for themselves. These men are expected to be the last to arrive in the colony under the '• navvy" arrangement, which Mr. HallJones vetoed a few weeks ago. The New Zealand Times says: "It is cheerful to learn that many of the Kumant's passengers are well "equipped financially, and that some have the wish to go upon the land if it be possible.' Like many other things, the great ease with which ' the most fertile land in the world' can be obtained had been presented to them under entirely false colours in the Home papers. It would be a wise step if the authorities adopted a milder tone in their advertisements regarding the facility with which good land can be obtained in' this colony."
