BRITISH IMMIGRANTS
YOUTHS FOR FARM WORK. ADDRESS BY SIR ANDREW RUSSELL. ?sr Press Association. HASTINGS, December 13. Sir Andrew Russell, at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon, gave an interesting address in support of a scheme for the immigration of British young men from 18 to 25 years of age, so as to make not only good settlers, but good New Zealanders. Conditions, he said, should be created to cause a demand for this rural labour, and absorb it, so that there would be no danger of wages going down. Sir Andrew Russell pointed out that the whole secret of building up towns and industries was the large country surrounding them and prosperous rural populations. At the conclusion of the address a provisional committee was formed for the purpose of giving support in case the Government acted on the lines indicated.
