DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION (ANNUAL REPORT OF).

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

Sir, — Department of Immigration, Wellington, 23rd June, 1924. Herewith 1 have the honour to submit the annual roport upon the immigration -which has taken place into New Zealand from the United Kingdom during the year 1923-24. I have, &c, H. D. Thomson, Under-Secretary. The Hon. W. Nosworthy, Minister of Immigration.

BEPOKT. In last year's report it was anticipated, that the passing of the Empire Settlement Act of 1922 by the Imperial Parliament would have the effect of stimulating the flow of British immigrants to our shores and greatly decreasing the cost of passage-money per capita. Owing chiefly to the fact that the new agreement between the Imperial and Dominion Governments did not come into force until the Ist July, 1923, it was impossible to place before the public of New Zealand the greatly reduced fares for assisted passages from the United Kingdom to the Dominion until the latter end of last year, and therefore there has been insufficient time to show on the year's working the anticipated increase in numbers of assisted immigrants arriving in the Dominion. However, the numbers have not only been maintained but show a slight increase. The migrants have all, with very few exceptions, been satisfactorily absorbed into the population without dislocation or disruption of the labour-market. Their reception has been one of kindness and cordiality, and tho hand of friendship and fellowship has boon extended on all sides. The reception of all immigrants to the land of their adoption has always been a special feature of the Department, and it is pleasing to be able to quote tho opinion of Mr., Fenton Macpherson, Special Commissioner in New Zealand and Australia to the Daily Chronicle, London, regarding immigration for British people in New Zealand. Tie writes that ho " was specially impressed with tho kindly considerate way immigrants were treated in New Zealand. There was an entire absence of fussy officialdom. Each family or individual was interviewed separately." If, as anticipated, the increase in numbers was not achieved the same cannot be said, regarding the reduction in passage-money per capita. The present agreement, which expires on the 31st

I—D. 9.

March, 1925, offers the most advantageous conditions that have so far been offered to the people of New Zealand. Tho following table will show the .present cost of passage-money for each migrant for an assisted passage to the Dominion : —

Important.—-In any case where the nominees are unable to pay the cost of six-berth passages tho Imperial aiid New Zealand Governments, acting in concert, will, on the approval of the High Commissioner, advance to such nominees the necessary amount by way of loan, repayable within a reasonable time after their arrival in the Dominion. From this schedule it will be readily seen the encouragement that is given to that most important phase of all immigration policies — i.e., juvenile and child migration. At the present time the percentage of this class of migrant of the total number arriving stands at 32 per cent., but it is hoped on next year's figures that the result will be at least 40 per cent. Although it may be said that these juveniles and children do not immediately materially benefit New Zealand, take tho position in the near future —say, five to ten years henco : the Dominion will have secured a most valuable asset for money expended in augmenting the population. In addition to the foregoing, and in order to increase still further the number of this class of migrant, the New Zealand Government inaugurated a scheme for migration of public- and secondary-school boys, and also agreed to extend the privileges of the assisted passages to the New Zealand Sheepowners' Acknowledgment of Debt to British Seamen Fund, which has established a scheme for the training of lads in New Zealand with the object of their ultimately becoming farmers on their own account. Regarding the public-school boys scheme, arrangements have been made by the New Zealand Government, together with the executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union and the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce, for a limited number of boys from public schools to proceed to New Zealand to be trained in farm-work with a view to subsequent settlement on the land. The boys are to be placed for training with farmers approved of by the New Zealand Government, and the Under-Secretary of Immigration and the above-mentioned bodies will act as guardians and advisers. The boys must be between the ages of sixteen and twenty years, of British birth, good character and physique, and students of a public or secondary school. They are guaranteed a minimum wage of 10s. per week, with board and lodging, to start with, and the farmers have agreed after three months to increase this amount in accordance with the ability of each boy. The total number of nominations for assisted passages taken during the year shows a decided increase compared with the previous year's figures : — 1922-23 .. .. .. .. .. 2,582. Average per week, 49-6 1923-24 .. .. .. .. .. 3,542. „ 68-1 The year's weekly average of 68-1 represents approximately 7,100 souls por annum, and this should increase to between ten and twelve thousand under the present agreement. The following are a few extracts from letters of appreciation received by the Department :— " You took such kindly interest in our small affairs that I feel you will be interested to know that we are happily settled under congenial conditions —that is, until we settle on a, place of our own. I'have secured employment on this 1,200-acre sheep-farm. The son and I do all the work, and I hope to gain useful experience of local conditions ; and, in fact, the people have all gone for a holiday and left me in charge." " I came out from Home fourteen years ago, assisted by my father, and I paid the emigration, and I must say that wore it not for the Department we would not be where we are to-day. Of course, it depends entirely on oneself ; it's no use any one thinking of coming out here to find gold in the streets like I was told ; one gets three good meals a day and only works eight hours ; I used to work fourteen at Homo on scanty rations. Once again thanking you for putting my case through in such good time." " I came out just over two years ago with a wife and seven children, and am getting on fine. It is a splendid country to bring up a family. I could guarantee work and a home for them when they get here." " In March, 1922, wo bought 25 acres at tho above address ; later on an additional 12, and this year another of 111 (all adjoining). The boys are both now with us, and in addition to the farm we are running a milk-round (two carts). We find the work very enjoyable, but it is a wee bit too much for us."

" Some two- years ago I got a farm worker through your Department. I have much pleasure in stating that ho has boon a first-class hand and most conscientious workman, and is still in my employ." "I am very pleased to say that lam getting on all right up to now. I came out on the s.s. "Tainui " in October, 1920, and have never done farm-work before, and now I have taken up 246 acres, and also got a Government advance, which is going through, for £450. I also sent my first can of cream this last week." "We came out here a few years ago. I had nothing then, but, 1 have accumulated about £2,000 worth of plant, and I employ eight men at present, and I can assure you that I never regretted, the day that I came out here as an immigrant." " At the same time I wish to thank all the Departments from England to here for the treatment received, especially the staff at Auckland, who so clearly explained every move, from leaving the boat, to train, thence onward to here. I started to work on the fourth day after arriving. The person who nominated me, my wife, and family, has been more to us than we ever expected, and fulfilled the obligations ho imposed upon himself past the letter. I therefore desire to get out to this splendid country all whom I think anything of and who 1 know will do well here." " I secured two men from the Immigration Department," said a speaker at tho Farmers' Union executive meeting to-day, " and one who came from Scotland was the best man I have ever employed." He recommended farmers who had difficulty in securing- competent men to follow the same course. The total number of arrivals in New Zealand from the United Kingdom during the year ended 31st March, 1924, was 11,488, excluding returning New-Zealanders. Out of the total number of persons arriving, 6,752 were assisted by the New Zealand Government. During the year thirty-three steamers brought out assisted immigrants as follows : —
