The New Zealand chairman, Professor A. D. Brownlee (Christchurch), and Mr K.

The Australia-New Zealand Foundation held its first meeting on May 31 and today’s will be its first since then.
So far its activities have been confined to a $11,250 grant towards a survey into ways of increasing transTasman trade. It was unable to spend the rest of a $50,000 Government grant for the year ended June 30 and an important task in . the 1979-80 year will be to set up a trust fund so that any future unspent funds do not revert to Treasury control.
