NO INFORMATION OF ARRIVAL DATE
BRITISH CHILDREN COMING TO DOMINION (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, September 16. No definite information is yet available of the probable date of arrival in the Dominion of the British children to be officially evacuated. The Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) stated tonight that beyond advice that the evacuation scheme prepared will be carried out, no other ixxformation could be given at present.
“The keenness of interest evinced in the scheme by New Zealanders,” Mr Parry added, “leads to very many inquiries daily by members of the community anxious to have children in their homes. I wish it were possible to let them have some definite news. This, however, will come later, and the Government will be prompt in supplying it to the people.”
