Major-General Sir Donald McGavin, Director-General of the New Zealand Medical Services, in the course of an interview, said lie considered that' the Now Zealand. proposal., to segregate mental defectives had a good chance of being passed by Parliament. Sir Donald added that tho importance of maintaining good stock was widely recognised in New Zealand, where public opinion agrees that defectives should be prevented from breeding. The best scheme of segregation was in establishing self-supporting farm colonies. Experts considered that this was better than sterilisation. "New Zealand realises," Sir Donald concluded, "that unchecked breeding by defectives cannot be tolerated indefinitely."
