DUTCH IMMIGRANTS
Two Thousand Due Next Year
PA WELLINGTON, Dec. 12. About 2000 immigrants will come from Holland next year, mot 10,000 as stated in a cabled report, said the Minister in Charge of Immigration, Mr Sullivan, yesterday. He said the Government hoped that 10,000 immigrants from all sources would enter New Zealand next year.
He wished we were getting 10,000 from Holland, but the agreement with the Netherlands Government was only for 2000. Netherlanders already in the Dominion had proved good citizens. No arrangement had been made for bringing any of next year’s Dutch immigrants by air, but if air transport proved economic and the aircraft were available, it would be worth consideration. The only parties for whom air transport had yet been arranged, said the Minister, were 55 dairy factory workers due from Holland next week and 130 British tradesmen for hydro-electricity projects.
