PARCELS FOR CAPTIVES
GERMAN PRISON CAMPS MR. FRASER’S INQUIRIES (Reed. Aug. 18. noon.) « LONDON, Aug. 17. The New Zealand Prime Minister, Mr. P. Fraser, has been engaged in conference with Red Cross and other authorities concerned with the dispatch of parcels to New Zealand prisoners of war in Germany and elsewhere. Letters are already arriving from many New Zealanders transferred from Greece to German camps. Arrangements have been made to dispatch food and clothing, the need of which they mention, from London, pending the receipt of parcels from their people in New Zealand. Care is being taken to ensure priority of oa.vcsJs from New Zealand, but in the meantime parcels are being packed in London and the contents paid for from New Zealand patriotic funds administered in London. Mr. Fraser is inquiring as to the possibility of a New Zealand representative being located at Geneva, through which centre all parcels pass through the International Red Cross. Such a reprosepjjdive would attend to the speedy transport of New Zealand parcels.
