Travellers Solvent Although Stranded
(From the London Correspondent of “The Press ”) LONDON, June 10
The London offices of New Zealand-based banks report no severe cases of hardship among New Zealanders stranded by the seamen’s strike.
“So far those who are stranded are surviving quite well. They are obviously very resilient,” said a bank official. He knew of no cases of hardship. Many young travellers had wealthy parents and seemed delighted to have the chance to stay longer in Britain.
Others might be i keeping themselves with temporary work but there was no fuss or bother. “Several New Zealanders are flying home instead of sitting out the strike but this is usually for special reasons such as illness in the family. “Strangely enough we haven’t had anybody in trouble yet or ‘coming in on their uppers’,” said the ac-
countant at New Zealand House.
The officer in the passports and consulate division who is responsible for welfare applications reports only one case of hardship since the strike began. In this case previous financial difficulties had been aggravated by the strike.
