Sequel To Chinese Smuggling Plot

Australians May Demand Strict Screening

By A CHINA MAIL REPORTER Australian security police are expected to demand strict screening of all Chinese seamen, travelling to Aus- tralian ports on vessels from Hong- kong following the discovery of an international plot to smuggle Chinese into Australia.

So far both the local police and the shipping com- pany which owns the Taiyuan-on which, Sydney Police allege, illegal immigrants travelled to Australia-have not had any re- quest from the Australian authorities.

But as soon as the investiga tions have been compicted in Bydney the demand is expected.
