Lambert, for the past 27 years sole representative of the Rockefeller Foundation in the tropic Islands of the Pacific. Dr. Lambert has the greatest admiration for the Maoris and believes that, like other native races he has come in contact with fn the Islands, they are willing and anxious to loam how to help themselves.
