BRITISH TRADESMEN
ARRIVALS BY RANGITANE
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] • AUCKLAND, August 24. Eighty artisans and professional men, with a wide variety of callings, arrived by the Rangitane from London, to-day. Fifty are building tradesmen, under contract to the Government, principally for State housing work. Thirty-one of these will remain in Auckland, and the others will go to Wellington. The remainder of the arrivals come independently, being attracted by reports of the shortage of tradesmen. They include three German Jews —an electrician, an architect and a farm manager. The others range from a research expert to three Irish’ farm labourers. Also on the Rangitane are Captain E. G. Morris, Director of Naval Reserves, Wellington, who is returning from a visit, to England; Lieutenant Michell, to join H.M.S. Philomel, and four H.M.S. Victory men, on loan to the New Zealand Squadron.
