DALMATIAN GUMDIGGERS
THE QUESTION OF INTERNMENT
(United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Sept. 4. The Teport of the Aliens Commission which enquired into the charges of disloyalty against the Dalmatian gum diggers is now under the consideration of the Government. It is stated that in the opinion of the Commissioners the evidence does not support the charges of disloyalty. None of the numerous witnesses whom they examined were in favour of internment of Dalmatians. It is understood that as a, result of the Commission's report the Government proposal to segregate all single, unnaturalized Dalmatians at Parenga, near North Cape, -will not be carried into effect. The Hon. J. Allen, whilst unable to make any statement at present, said tonight that Auckland people could allow ?heir minds to be at perfect rest on the question.
