ADMISSION TO AMERICA.
NEW ZEALAND’S QUOTA. AUCKLAND, January 13. A large number of New Zealanders are waiting to obtain permits to enter the United States and the American Consul in Auckland, Mr W. F. Boyle, stated to-day that there are between 50 and 60 New Zealanders on the list in Auckland waiting to be admitted into the United States under the Dominion’s immigration quota, and there is a lengthy list at the office of the ■Consul-General in Wellington. As New Zealand’s quota is only 100 immigrants yearly, some of those registered at Auckland will have to wait at least 12 months, unless some of the Wellington applications are withdrawn. It is only during the last six or seven months that the waiting list has accumulated. A year ago there were not nearly so many people wanting to go to the United States.
