Mr Wells Provides Highlights Of Congress
[Per Press Association. Copyright . 3
WELLINGTON, This Day.
General agreement that the highlights of the recent Science Congress at Canberra had been provided by Mr H. G. Wells was expressed by New Zealand delegates to the congress who returned to Wellington yesterday afternoon by the Awatea. The conference, they said, was very well organ* ised and attended.
Mr Wells’s speeches were well delivered, although some of his less fortunate utterings were made the most of, said Dr. E. Kidson, one of the returning delegates. Professor N. V. Sidgwick, Professor of Chemistry at Lincoln College, Oxford University, who attended the Congress, agreed that the comment the Australian Prime Minister made on Mr Wells’s reference to dictators would not worry Mr Wells very much. Professor Sidgwick will spend three weeks in the Dominion visiting Wellington, Nelson, the Franz Josef Glacier, Christchurch, Rotorua and Auckland before returning via America.
