WHOLESALE FLOW OF IMMIGRANTS WILL BE FOUGHT.
NEW ZEALAND BASES OBJECTIONS ON SOCIAL AND RACIAL GROUNDS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. “Sydney Sun" Cable. (Received June 25, Noon) LONDON, June 24. Speaking at the World Migration Congress, Mr Kitson (Australia) said that Australia did not object to European migrants so long as they could be absorbed without detriment to workers already there. The Australian standard of living was equal to anything in the world, and they were determined to maintain it. Mr Wilson (New Zealand) suggested that the proposed Migration Office should be merged in the International Labour Office at Geneva, with branches in every country containing adequate trades union representation. New Zealand’s objections to wholesale migration were based solely on social and racial grounds, and applied equally to Europeans and people of the Eastern races.
