UNDER A MICROSCOPE
CALIFORNIAN PROFESSOR IN NEW ZEALAND “A SOCIAL LABORATORY” (P.A.) AUCKLAND, October 14. New Zealand’s General Election, its political institutions and economic and ! social development will be raw matI erial for Dr. -Dean McHenry, associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California, who was a passenger on the Monterey which arrived to-day.from San Francisco. He will make a~study of these topics on behalf of the Carnegie Corporation. “We regard New Zealand as a social laboratory and as far as possinie I am going to nut your country under a microscope,” said Professor Mci Henry. He said he was personally concerned at the threat of Commun-, ism. There were two answers to tne problem, either a capitalistic economy that would work, or a socialist economic democracy. Was it possible to have democracy under socialism? Could there be freedom under planning? It would be of absorbing interest to study the extent that the answers to these question had been realised in New Zealand. t Professor McHenry, who will make Wellington his . headquarters, proposes to.publish a work on his con-, elusions.
