FOOD PARCELS ARE “GODSEND,” SAYS PROFESSOR
(P.A.) AUCKLAND. Feb. 28. "Food parcels to the British people are an absolute godsend,” declared Pro fessor L. D Davidson, of Edinburgh University, who arrived from Sydney in the Aorangi today. Professor Davidson, who is accompanied by his wife, is an expert on the nutritional value of food. For one month he will lecture at a postgraduate course in the four main centres, beginning in Dunedin. For another month he will relax and fish. He said he doubted whether the speech by Mr. Winston Churchill had such a tonic effect as the receipt of a food parcel.
"I don’t know of any single thing that has done more to cement the British Commonwealth together than the sending of food parcels,", he added.
