PEOPLE FROM OVERSEAS
STATUS UNDER SERVICE LAW ("BY TRIiECKAI'U —I'KKSH ASSOCIATION] DUNEDIN, Saturday "Only in exceptional circumstances are the applications of persons resident in the Dominion for a year and over granted, and usually a bond for the return of the applicant within a stipulated time is imposed. There have been one or two cases in which bonds entered into have been forfeited," said the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry. He was replying to a deputation which waited on him with regard to the period a person from another country could reside in New Zealand, and, for the purpose of the War Emergency Regulations, escape classification as "resident in New Zealand." The deputation gave instances where men and women had entered New Zealand somo months ago and, although in employment, had decided for various reasons to return to their native country. Somo of those persons had been refused permits to leave, although they had not intended to remain permanently in the Dominion. The Minister added that for the purposes of national service a person was considered to be a resident of the Dominion if ho had remained in the country for 12 months.
