CHINESE IN DISTRESS
LITTLE WORK AVAILABLE NEW DIFFICULTIES ARISE [BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT J WANGANTJI, Thursday The Wanganui office of the Labour Department is confronted with a problem in regard to impecunious Chinese who are on the verge of starvation. Owing to the extensive growing of vegetables by Europeans, the usual avenues of work are no longer open to Chinese. The department cannot send them to relief camps, because trouble might arise with other workers, and there is the same objection to including them in relief gangs. Some of the Chinese are destitute, and are no longer able to pay the levy, nor are their countrymen able to keep them.
