Since the United States began restricting immigration, southern Europe has turned covetous eyes on Australia, and there has been a great influx of Slavs, Greeks, Italians, Maltese and other peoples. The latest advice is that the steamer Cephee will arrive there in a few weeks with 1,200 Yugoslavs.
Sir George Fuller, premier of New South Wales, has written the federal government suggesting that the commonwealth institute a quota system on the American lines, or adopt other means to limit foreign immigration.
Official government statements declare that while the need for population in Australia is urgent some substantial reason must be advanced before the door be shut against white Europeans. Nevertheless, the government is watching the situation carefully.
