STRANDED NEW ZEALANDERS.
A STEAMER FOR WELLINGTON; (PRE9S ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND. June 14. The Hon. G. W. Russell states that the Government intends to allow the Moeraki to bring 250 New Zealanders to Wellington. Preference will be given to returned soldiers and munition workers, and then to urgent and necessitous cases of women and children, and other civilians. He hoped the numbers would* be increased in the following steamers. Other people who desired to come to New Zealand for business reasons, said Mr Russell, would have to remain in Australia until the whole of the stranded New Zealanders had been returned.
