MIGRANTS ESCAPE
Italians in Australia SOME FOR NEW ZEALAND Sydney, December 6. Six Italians included in the batch prohibited from landing from the Orford have escaped from the ship. A close guard is being kept over the others. Three of the original complement have been allowed to depart for New Zealand, and the remainder will be shipped back to Italy by the Drama, now in port. Sixty-six Italian migrants who arrived by the Orient liner Orford at Sydney were not allowed to land under the instructions of the Federal Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. A. Blakeley. It is understood that sixty were booked for Brisbane, presumably en route to the cancfields of Northern Queensland. PERMITS NECESSARY Regulations are Definite It is stated officially in Wellington that the Italians referred to in the cablegram would not be allowed to land in New Zealand either for permanent or temporary residence unless they were in possession of permits to do so. It is impossible in the absence of the names of the Italians to say whether permits have been issued by the Customs Department.
