RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS
PRAISED BY CHRISTCHURCH DOCTOR [Per Press Association. — Copyright .] WELLINGTON, This Day. While not belittling in any way the research work being carried on in England and elsewhere in Europe, Dr. O. H.» Frankel, of Christchurch, has nothing but praise for that which is being done in Russia, and the research work there is considered to be the equal of that ’being carried on anywhere else in the world.
Dr. Frankel, who is plant geneticist at the New Zealand Wheat Research Institute, 'returned to Wellington after a tour, which embraced visits to all the leading plant research and breeding stations in Europe. Dr. Frankel attended, as the Dominion’s representative, the Imperial Botanical Conference held in England last August, and subsequently the International Botanical Conference in Amsterdam.
Russia, said Dr. Frankel, in the course of an interview, was fully alive to the value of research work and coordinated it in a wonderful way with the pooling of personnel and material resources. Money for research purposes was not lacking, and the research institutions were wonderfully equipped.
