Port Moresby, Sept. 1.
/CHINESE communities in New Guinea \j are preparing to receive 335 of their countrymen whom the Australian Government intends .to leturn to New Guinea under the Wartime Refugees Re moval Act.
Nine Chinese—the first batch to be re turned—arrived at Lae on August 29 in a Government-chartered Qantas plane. Un til the confusion in Australia over the de portations is sorted out, the a’rival date of the remaining Chinese will be inde finite.
District Officers have been asked to ar range accommodation for the Chinese and to help them as much as possible. The Administration’s view is that the Chinese will have no trouble getting jobs as most of the men are skilled tradesmen.
