Huns To Go
4000 Aliens to be Packed Off
Commonwealth Takes Action
Ships Now On The Way
Melbourne, Tuesday.
It is understood that vessels for the deportation of 4000 Germans, Bulgarians, and Turks from Australia and 300 enemy aliens from New Zealand have been arranged for by the Commonwealth Government.
Two of the vessels to be employed will leave Italy shortly, and several are now on their way from Great Britain, carrying troops on board. Among these is the Wyreema.
The departure of the aliens from Australia should take place in about eight weeks time.
