To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuixa Dairy News.'"
Sim,—You referred in your article jin Tuesday's paper entitled "'Flotsam irom dibera,'' to the shipping away of 29 men in the str. Gweneth for which we owe a debt of gratitude to Captain Bayes-Davy, his staff and the executive of the ship. These men are not only able to get away without any expense to the community but land at their own door steps with a little earned money in their pockets. This is practical way of repatriation bus aufortunately such an opportunity does not often occur and the great bulk of the refugees will have to be provided with tickets if they are go. As the ships trading to the East only carry Europeans in their first and second classes we have found it a very heavy expense to send any away and the number that could be so sent will be very limited, but if concessions could be wide to us by the shipping companies, whereby they could be allowed to travel deci, very many more could be dealt' with and it would be much more satisfactory We are Trustees of the subseribed public money and we wish to render as good an account of the! expenditure of that money as possible and it seems to us a pity that: we should have to go to the expense of sending people away second class who would only he too happy to go any way so long as they can get to some place where they have a chance of starting life again.
Cannot the public help us in this by bringing their influence to bear on the head offices of the different lines? I am sure the agents out here will do all they can for us. Most of these people are Poles, Finns, Letts, Lithuanians, Ruman= ians and South Russians who have been for long drifting round in the maelstrom.
