PREMIER SURPRISED
SLOWING UP OF SHIP NO EXPLANATION YET (P.R.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 25. Without passing any reflection on the vessel it was a surprise to him that the Andes, after travelling so speedily for the greater part of her voyage, should have taken so long to cross the Tasman. said the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, in the House of Rep-
resentatives yesterday afternoon during the discussion on the return of troops to the Dominion. “If I had been on the ship under such circumstances,” declared Mr. Fraser, “I would have been one of those who would have been impatient.” Mr. T. L. MacDonald (Opp., Mataura): It has happened before to some hospital ships. The Prime Minister added that there might be some explanation for the apparent slowing up of the Andes, but at present he could not see what was the explanation.
