DR. OPPENHEIMER
Sir, —During the years between 1930 and 1940 both America and the British Commonwealth gained considerably by accepting refugees from the rising Fascist regimes of Germany and Italy. A large proportion of these refugees were intellectual men of high ability. It now appears that an opportunity has been given to us by similar events in America tp gain the services of a physicist of outstanding ability. I refer to Dr. Oppenheimer, whose career in America appears now to have been ruined by the neo-Fascist element rising there. Could we offer Dr. Oppenheimer a post in oqe of New Zealand’s scientific institutions—perhaps the presently vacant Chair of Physics at Canterbury College?— Yours, etc., FELLOW SCIENTIST. I June 4, 1954.
