ALIEN INTERNED AT WELLINGTON
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE TAKEN (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, December 5. The internment of a Wellington resident of enemy alien nationality was announced by the Attorney-General (the Hon. H. G. R. Mason) tonight. This was stated to be purely a precautionary measure. ■ “The registration of aliens and the restrictions imposed upon the movements of enemy aliens under the War Emergency Regulations had been in the nature of a survey to obtain full information and did not imply any presumption of disaffection,” said Mr Mason. “As a result of this survey, however, in addition to certain resi--dents of Samoa whose internment in New Zealand had been decided upon, one Wellington resident of enemy alien nationality has also recently been interned. This was purely a precautionary measure and did not imply that any illegal act had been committed or attempted.”
