MANY IMMIGRANTS
ARRIVALS BY RANGITANE TRADES AND PROFESSIONS THREE GERMAN-JEWS INCLUDED (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Thursday Eighty artisans and professional men with a wide variety of callings arrived by the Rangitane from London to-day. Fifty are building tradesmen under contract to the Government, principally for State housing work. Thirty-one of these remain in Auckland and others go to Wellington. The remainder of the arrivals come independently, attracted by reports of a shortage of tradesmen. They include three German Jews—an electrician, an architect and a farm manager. The others range from a research expert to three Irish farm labourers. Also on the Rangitane are Captain E. G. Morris, Director of Naval Reserves, Wellington, who is returning from a visit to England, and Lieutenant Michell to join the Philomel, and four H. Victory men on loan to the New Zealand squadron.
