What Arthur was more concerned about was the report from the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the immigration situation over the past two months.
Currently, immigration in Australasia can be described as growing higher and stronger each year.
After setting a new immigration record last year, the number of immigrants in the first two months of 1908 has already exceeded 130,000, and there is hope of setting a new high this year.
If the addition of the data for the first half month of March is taken into account, the number of immigrants in 1908 has already exceeded 170,000, with an average of over 2,000 immigrants received in Australasia every day, showing the terrifying speed of immigration in Australasia today.
It is precisely because of such an exaggerated number of immigrants that Australasia conducts census actions almost every year to determine the true population of Australasia and facilitate government planning for the next step.
