SOCIAL SECURITY
SCHEME FOR AUSTRALIA LOAN OF DOMINION EXPERTS (P.A.) WELLINGTON. Jan. 26. In response to a recent request from the Australian Government, the New Zealand Government is sending Mr 11, Digby Smith, chairman of the Social Security Commission, and Mr A. O. von Keisenberg, secretary of the Health Department, to Canberra to explain the methods of administration and working of the New Zealand Social Security Act. The Australian Government wants this information because of the proposed Australian scheme, which was described in cablegrams last week. The Minister of Internal Adairs, Mr W, E. Parry, making the announcement to-day, said Mr Smith had wide experience in the monetary benefits, and Mr von Keisenberg in the medical benefits. Mr Smith, as the first chairman of the commission, had also helped to build up the organisation of social security in New Zealand, and Mr von Keisenberg had administered the medical and hospital benefits since the inception of the scheme.
