WARNING TO NEW ZEALANDERS
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Sept. 14. A warning to New Zealanders and others who may have hopes of obtaining employment at Shanghai is given in a letter received here from Colonel N. W. Thoms, an ex-member of the New Zealand Staff Corps, who commands the Shanghai Volunteer Corps. “We are continually getting people coming from Australia and New Zea/land seeking employment, and the Anzac Society, of which 1 am president, finds it exceedingly difficult to help them,” the letter adds. “As you can imagine, Shanghai. is not a comfortable place to starve in.” Colonel Thoms asks tho recipient of the letter to make the position known in New Zealand so as to discourage young men 'from trying their luck in Shanghai. He encloses a newspaper clipping which sets out the unemployment position and says social workers consider it should be generally known that Shanghai at present, owing to the trade depression, cap not provide sufficient jobs for its own unemployed.
