PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS
Passenger and tourist agents have received a memorandum from" the Under-Secretary of Internal Affairs (Mr. J. W. Heenan) stating that a communication has come from the High Commissioner for New Zealand in London setting put that difficulties had arisen through "stateless" aliens having been booked from New Zealand to England with the intention of returning to their native countries on the Continent. Trouble arose when the foreign countries refused to admit these people, with the result that they becams stranded in Great Britain without any people to receive them. Under these circumstances it was advisable that for the future no "stateless" persons should be allowed to . commence the journey from New Zealand for the United Kingdom without a definite assurance of their being admitted to their ultimate destination.
The effect of this official communication is that any European national resident in New Zealand wishing to return to his own country must have his passport visaed by the Consul or Consular Agent representing that country, otherwise a ticket for his passage cannot be issued.
