SECRETARY EXPLAINS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
STRATFORD, This Day.
The statement yesterday by Professor Fraenkel, of Germany, an eminent authority on obstetrics, that a/suggestion that he deliver lectures in New Zealand was not welcomed by the University authorities was referred to today by Dr. Doris Gordon, secretary of the New Zealand Obstetrical Society.,
Dr. Gordon said that the statement that lectures were not wanted was incorrect. The Austrajian authorities had communicated with Professor Fraenkel pointing out that it was impossible.to arrarfge lectures in the Christmas season. Dr.' Gordon received the first advice of Professor Fraenkel's arrival on December 6, and no direct advice was received ■ from the Professor. Under the circumstances no action was taken by the society. ■ . >
"The science of obstetrics is international," added Dr. Gordon. "The society regrets that the distinguished visitor was. unable to come to the Dominion at a season when members could benefit by his .visit."
