AUSTRALIANS SPEND N.Z. MONEY
ADVICE AGAINST RETURN TO COMMONWEALTH (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, March 13. Three of the Australian passengers in the cruise liner Strathalllan spent the greater part of this morning in an inspection of the Wellington shops at which they could, in their own words, get rid of the New Zealand money they had accumulated since their arrival in Auckland last Friday. As one of the trio, Mr J. A. Kelly of Melbourne, put it: “My bank manager instructed me on no account to bring New Zealand money back to Victoria. ‘We won’t accept it,’ he told me. ‘Don’t come back, even with five shillings, or it will be your own lookout.’ ”
