“HORRIBLE MESS”
SHIP PASSENGERS COMPLAIN IN SYDNEY ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEDICAL INSPECTION. LONG WAIT IN SWELTERING HEAT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. SYDNEY, October 31. Complaints made today by the Monterey’s passengers about having to wait in a long queue in stifling heat for the medical inspection and immigration examination were frequently bitter. Sir Sydney Snow declared that the tedious process whereby 600 people were lined up for well over an hour in the sweltering humidity awaiting the pleasure of the Government officers was a very bad advertisement for the port. He suggested that Australia was probably the hardest country in the world to enter. Sir Charles Marr, M.P., characterised the hold-up as a horrible mess.
