Mr Kenrick is a New Zealander who joined the Allied Powers Headquarters after the war.
Five ships chartered by the New Zealander's company are bringing the cement to the Dominion. They are the Union Trader, which was in Auckland in February, the Union Carrier, the Corda. the Swan, and the Union Mariner. The Corda is expected to go to New Plymouth and the destination of the others will be according to importers’ requirements.
