Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 30, No. 1. 1967.

Criteria other than race

Criteria other than race

The criteria for immigration should be other than those of nationality and race —but a sudden group movement could be a danger.

All immigrants should be told what to expect in New Zealand, and New Zealanders should be told what to expect from the immigrants

Money should be spent to make sure that the immi-grants got good jobs which are evenly spread over the status scale so that there is no ethnic structuring of occupations.

Housing should be of good quality and the groups should be housed together for a transition period after they arrive in New Zealand.

New Zealand should not baulk at providing the neces-sary welfare services when the immigrants first arrive.

A planning agency should be set up to co-ordinate all these factors.
