KEPT OUT OF FIJI
Appeal By Wife (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 10. An Auckland woman has flown to Fiji to make a personal appeal to authorities there to allow her husband to live in the colony. She is Mrs O. Strewe, the New Zealand-born wife of a naturalised New Zealand subject. Mr Strewe, a landscape architect, has been refused an entry permit to live in Fiji on the ground that he is an undesirable immigrant. He has been advised by the office of the Colonial Secretary in Fiji that the refusal of a permit is “in consequence of information received through official channels.”
The New Zealand Government has denied that it commented on Mr Strewe to the Fiji authorities. Mr Strewe said tonight that his wife had gone to Fiji to plead his case before the Immigration Department and the Colonial Secretary. As a last resort she would make a personal appeal to the Governor (Sir Derek Jakeway). Mr Strewe was engaged by an American hotel company to landscape hotel sites in Fiji and was to have begun work on the project last week.
