IMPERIAL TRUST
Secretary On
Visit To N.Z. (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Dec. 10. A woman who has helped to arrange study visits between the Commonwealth and Britain for 600 persons arrived in New Zealand tonight on a trip of her own. She is Miss Judith Jackson, secretary of the Imperial Relations Trust since its inception in 1937, who will spend six weeks in the Dominion as a guest of grateful former bursars.
“I am terribly touched to have been invited here in this way," she said at Whenuapai tonight. The trust has given bursaries or •,fellowships for periods of up to a year to about 50 New Zealanders, mainly in the fields of education, journalism, broadcasting, and trade unionism. A group of former bursars from Auckland met Miss Jackson on arrival. She will travel through New Zealand, meeting “the great many friends I now have here” and staying with a number of them.
“‘I have turned myself into a package.” she said. “For the first time in my life I am having things arranged for me.” The trust which sends Britons into the Commonwealth as well as sponsoring visits to Britain was created with an anonymous donation of about £250.000 transmitted to the then Prime Minister. Mr Stanley Baldwin.
