O. Soltwedfl Deported By

Australia

THE Australian Government recently deported to Germany Mr. O. Solt wedel who, 36 years ago, went from Germany to New Guinea, where he was well known and highly respected. “Salty” (as he was generally known) was brought to Australia with other Germans in 1940, and he spent six weary years in intern ment, and another two in. Sydney, seeking oei mission to return to NG. Although his appeal was warmly supported by several Australians, the Australian Social ist Government was adamant, and “Salty” departed sadly in October for a land he had not seen since Wilhelm II was Kaiser.
