SOLVING NATIONAL PROBLEMS. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 20. The increasing tendency the world over to seek the aid of experts in efforts to overcome difficulties was commented on by Mr C. T. Aschman, chairman of the Canterbury College Board of Governors, when speaking at a welcome home from the "World Economic Conference to Professor Tocker. “I can state on behalf of Canterbury College, and I think on behalf of the University of New Zealand,” said Mr Aschman, “that if it can add to the sum of human knowledge by allowing its officers to take part in assisting in the solution of national difficulties, it is, and will be, glad to do so. It would surprise most of you if I told you of the work that Canterbury College is doing at the request of those outside it, especially on the scientific side. An appeal for assistance by the Government or organisations is not a.n asking of favours, but a claiming of a right, and the more that right is exercised the better will the governing authorities he pleased.”
