JUVENILE IMMIGRATION.
GOVERNMENT AND THE SEDGWICK SCHEME. By instruction from the Dominion president of the Farmers’ Union, the secretary (Mr E. C. Jack) recently wrote to the Hon. G.Laurenson,Minister for Labour, asking that he should give the necessary authority to the Labour Department to act in a similar capacity as it did on the occasion of the immigration of the Sedgwick boys. The Minister has replied that the Government cannot take any action in the matter in the meantime. /
In a letter to the Dominion secretary, the secretary of the Sounds branch of the Farmers’ Union states that he has heard that 500 Sedgwick boys are now on their way out to New Zealand, and asks that the Sounds branch should be allowed some of the lads. Unfortunately for the union the boys are not on their way.
