NEW ZEALAND A ‘GESTAPO COUNTRY’?
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Two passengers in the vessel Largs Bay expressed trenchant criticism of New Zealand before the vessel left for Sydney and South Africa today. Mr Henry Holford, a New Zealander, who went to South Africa during the Boer War, described New Zealand as a “Gestapo country.” Mrs E. M. Haise, a South African nurse, married to a New Zealander, who was leaving on a visit to South Africa, said: “Auckland is half the size of Port Elizabeth cemetery and twice as dead.”
