DUTCH EQUIPMENT
LOADED AT BRISBANE BRISBANE, July 19. Official secrecy surrounds the loading of the Royal Australian Navy auxiliary cruiser Manoora, which will leave next week with Dutch stores and equipment .which should have gone in the Dutch ships Both, Bontekoe, and Van Outhoorn. Coloured Netherlands military policemen and civilian guards are .barring the wharf gates. The only reply Pressmen could get came from an Australian officer, " Mr Chifley has sent us on this mission. If you want any information you can ask him." ,It is believed that after the Manoora sails there will be little Dutch equipment in Brisbane. What remain's will be loaded on to another ship. The three Dutch vessels which broke the 10-month waterside ban by running unaided down the river and out of the harbour will coal at sea tomorrow and sail empty, for Java.
