FARM WORKERS FROM CZECHOSLOVAKIA
Visitor’s Suggestion By Telegraph ln- f Christchurch, May 10. A scheme for alleviation of the shortage of farm workers and domestic workers on farms in New Zealand was suggested by Mr. Josef S. Zaba, Prague, Czechoslovakia, during an address to the Chritschureh Rotary Club. If the Governinerft agreed, he said, he thought that, workers could be setn to New Zealand from his country.
Many Czechs had gone to the Argentine and other South American States, said Mr. Zaba. They were fine, hard workers and did not grumble at work. Numbers of his countrymen also wont to France and Belgium for seaosnal work, mostly in mines and on farms, and the scheme worked quite satisfactorily.
