N.Z. DEMOBILISATION
[From the Representative, with the New Zealand Peace Delegation, Mr Riley.] LONDON, May 6. As regards demobilisation. New Zealand notably occupies the best position among the Dominions respecting the percentage of troops returned or afloat, and present circumstances suggest the maintenance of that condition, as 13 ships are leaving England for New Zealand between now and the first week in June. This result is very satisfactory in view of the fact that earlier in the year strikes in various English ports held up shipping for about six weeks, causing serious congestion in New Zealand's export of produce and stores. All things considered, the Dominion has gained a good share of the available shipping, and the position is now generally satisfactory.
