VEXATIOUS REGULATION.
TOURISTS AND DEPOSITS.
" One of the post-war legislative Acts which lias caused a good deal of dissatisfaction with some of our overseas visitors is the law requiring foreigners to deposit £lO on arrival," remarks the New Zealand Tourist League in its annual report. " A number of leading people who experienced this impost, including a Dutch professor and a Swiss journalist, expressed considerable bitterness in newspaper interviews recently. We can quite understand the authorities imposing many r<*' strict ions on aliens who may desire to settle here, but in the case of educated people, whom we profess . to wan); to encourage to visit us, such vexatious practices should now be abolished. Wo have made little headway s0 ' al ' but as it involves action by Parliameii we shall continue to prosecute our repiescntations to a new Administration.
