PEOPLE STRANDED

ALIENS IN GREAT BRITAIN Passages Booked From Dominion Press Association—Copyright. Wellington, April 27. Passenger and tourist agents have received a memorandum from the Under-Secret ary of Initernal Af*lai(r , s stating that a communication has come from Mr W. J. Jordan, High Commission: r for New Zealand at London, sotting out that certain difficulties had arisen through lalieus having been booked from New Zealand to England without any intention of returning to their native countries on the Continent. Trouble arose when foreign countries refused to admit these people with the result that they became ! stranded in Great Britain without, any people to receive them. Under ‘these icircumstances it was advisable that for the future no “Stateless.” persons should be allowed to commence a journey from New Zealand for the United Kingdom without a definite! assurance of their being admitted to their ultimate destination. The effect of this official communication is that any Europiun national resident in New Zealand wishing to return to his own country must have bis passport visaed by the consul or consular agent representing that country, otherwise a ticket for the passage can net be issued.
