CULTURAL RELATIONS
DOMINIONS AND AMERICA PROPOSALS FOR DEVELOPMENT (Rec. 10 p.m.) MELBOURNE, Jan. 6. Proposals for the appointment of a joint committee for the promotion of cultural relations between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States are being prepared by Mr Allan Nevins, who is visiting Australia and New Zealand on behalf of the American Office of War Information. Mr Nevins recently spent seven weeks in New Zealand. The Office of War Information wanted more Australian and New Zealand university scholars and teachers to go to American universities after the war, and hoped that American university men would be invited to Australia and New Zealand, Mr Nevins said. It was hoped also that some arrangement might be made for temporary exchanges of journalists, and that more Australian and New Zealand medical students would go to American hospitals. It was evident that after the war the United States would be planted more firmly in the Pacific—it seemed possible that they might be given complete or partial possession of the Marshall and Caroline Islands—and necessarily would have to wm'k in close partnership with Australia and New Zealand.
