THE EMIGRATION PROBLEM.
We believe wholly in the right of the British-born »man to come to this British State. Nor can any intelligent man doubt that, in spito of maladministration and drawbacks, sparsely-po-pulated New Zealand at the worst offers greater ultimate opportunity forthe industrious worker with a' family than over-crowded Britain. For our national security, as well as for our industrial development, it is necessary that our population should be greatly and steadily increased; British immigration, under carefully considered supervision, is therefore greatly to be des.ired, and should be generously encouraged. The emigration of the New. Zealander, in the search for work or in the quest for a little holding is an unqualified injustice to the emigrant and an unmitigated evil to the State. — “Wairarapa Ago.”
