Frenchman Complains of Treatment at Auckland
SYDNEY, Sept. 7.
A Frenchman, M. J. Playoust, of Sydney, who, with his wife returned from a trip abroad by the Monterey to-day, intends to co-nplaiu to the French Consul here of the treatment of Customs officials at Auckland. M. Playoust declares that while British and American passengers were allowed to land without handing in their passports, he was compelled to hand over his passport, which was retained until a quarter of an hour before sailing. He is unable to understand the reason for this discrimination between himself, a Frenchman, and another type of foreigner, an American, especially as Frenchmen were the closest allies of the British in the War. He hopes that France will not be compelled to discriminate against New Zealanders when they are visiting Marseilles and other ports.
