LABOUR AND IMMIGRATION
MR HOLLAND EXPLAINS. (By Telegraph. Press Association.) WESTPORT; Friday. Mr Holland, M.P., leader of the Labour Party, is addressing largely attended • meetings throughout mining districts this week. He has been accorded votes of confidence in himself and the Labour Party at each meeting. Referring to an article by Mr Julian Grande in the New York Times, in which Mr Grande quoted Mr Holland as saying that New Zealand could do with two million immigrants, he (the member for Buller) said that what he told Mr Grande was that New Zealand could carry ten millions of a population provided we had effective organisation of the country's resources. He had explained that the Labour Party demanded that permanent work at the standard rate of wages, without displacing any worker already here, should be provided for every immigrant upon arrival, and, further, that they wanted housing accommodation for the immigrants. Failing these provisions they would oppose State aided immigration.
