EXCHANGE DIFFICULTIES
VISITORS TO AUSTRALIA CRUISE PASSENGERS WARNED (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, Dec. 23. Concern In Australia over New Zealand's exchange control and its effect upon the value of the New Zealand pound was reflected in a certain degree of anxiety displayed and the inquiries made by some of the passengers on the Orient liner Orford, which arrived at Auckland from Brisbane in the course of a cruise. One passenger said that before leaving Australia he had been advised by his bank not to bring New Zealand currency back to Australia, as he would have difficulty in converting it. Before the passengers left the Orford. the following notice was displayed in different parts of the vessel:— "Advice has just been received that, on account of exchange difficulties in Australia, passengers should dispose of any New Zealand currency before leaving New Zealand. Passengers are, therefore, advised that, on account of this difficulty. New Zealand currency cannot be converted into Australian currency on board."
