Would-be Migrants Cause Ship Bottleneck
(Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, April 8. Mere than 300,000 men, women and children, who plan to leave Britain to start new lives in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, are creating a great shipping bottleneck, says the Evening News. Many thousands are awaiting to sail to Canada, 1000 are going to South Africa a month after the first sailing on April 17, and about 6000 from the estimated total of 175,000 who are waiting to go to Australia will emigrate in 1947.
