STRANDED NEW ZEALANDERS
COMPLAINTS, AND AN ANSWER BY SIR JAMES ALLEN.
(Bl TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
Sir James Allen said there Jiad been complaints from New Zealanders stranded in Australia, that while civilians had been prevented from returning home facilities had been provided for passages to soldiers. If- this was so, he knew nothing about it. If a transport, called at an Australian port bound to New Zealand, the ship could not ■ refuse to take aboard a homeward-bound New Zealand soldier provided he passed the health authorities, and the military officer in command gave him permission to join. Possibly the departure of New Zealand soldiers under euch conditions had given rise to complaints.
