MR W. J. JORDAN, New Zealand High Commissioner in London, and Mrs Jordan, are now en route to New Zealand by ship. Before leaving Mr Jordan visited Liverpool, where he met passengers who had been put ashore from the Rimutaka after a fire in the ship. He found that they were housed in hostels and he was satisfied with the arrangements that had to be made so hurriedly. There had been criticism of the facilities provided for several passengers, particularly women with children who found themselves back ashore without money and without suitable food for their children. (London).
