Refugee Immigrants
Recommendations that desirable alien refugees be again admitted to New Zealand when conditions became more favourable and that the Government be urged to prepare plans for a large-scale settlement of British immigrants in New Zealand were adopted at the Methodist conference in Auckland yesterday. It was pointed out in the report of the public questions committee that as yet no definite plans seeme*. to have been made for the immigration of British people dispossessed by the war. Post-war Planning “The Government in Britain has already appointed a board to consider reconstruction,” said Mr W. H. Nankervis, president of the New Zealand Society of Accountants, in an address in Wellington yesterday, “and I suggest. that the Government of this country could well follow that example. While possibily a great deal could not be done at the present time, an active committee should be able to collect data and information which would be invaluable when the period of reconstruction begins. Such a committee should include representatives of the various industrial and commercial bodies, as well as economists and accountants.
