TOURIST TRAFFIC
CONDITIONS NOW ADVERSE
(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, September 14.
Arrangements for the tour of British and South African farmers through New Zealand are proceeding satisfactorily. The British National Union, which' is responsible for organising the. tour, has-received about 120 inquiries, and about 20 definite bookings. As the party will not start till January there' seems no doubt that the required ■30 members will easily be obtained. •
Care is being taken that every member of the party is either a farmer or is in business closely allied to farming. They will leave by the Mooltan on January 10.
The Abyssinian trouble, which is having a depressing effect generally, is also responsible for holding up the tourist traffic. Many people who contemplated setting out for the Dominion have now written to the Tourist Officer of the High Commissioner's Department stating that they find it necessary to postpone making definite plans until the political situation improved. Another effect of the disturbed situation is that people who contemplated sailing or returning by the Suez route have now booked by the Panama or American route.
