Australia Erects New Immigration Bars

ONLY IMMIGRANTS COMING HERE TO FILL JOBS CERTIFIED BY PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS WILL BE ADMITTED TO AUSTRALIA UNDER NEW IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS. PREVIOUSLY, SO FAR AS JEWISH IMMIGRANTS ARE CONCERNED, A GUARANTEE BY THE JEWISH COMMUNITY THAT THE IMMIGRANT WOULD NOT BECOME A STATE CHARGE WAS CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE.

PRIME MINISTER JOSEPH A. LYONS, IN A MESSAGE ON THE OCCASION OF THE JEWISH NEW YEAR, SAYS: “I AM GLAD OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONVEY GOOD WISHES. THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE IN NUMBER BUT A SMALL PART OF THE POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA BUT THEIR LEADERS SET A HIGH STANDARD OF CITIZENSHIP WHICH IS FOLLOWED BY THE JEWISH COMMUNITY GENERALLY.”
