Author of Beveridge Plan

LORD BEVERIDGE AT QUEENSTOWN Author of the Beveridge Plan, on which Britain’s Social Security Legislation is based, Lord Beveridge, accompanied by Lady Beveridge, arrived at Queenstown last Saturday. They will be the guests of Otago University and the New Zealand University until April 21, and will thereafter be the guests of the Government until their departure

for Australia about May 9. Britain and New Zealand, he said, lead the world in social security, though^on slightly different lines. The New Zealand system was well known to him, but he wanted to study it in operation. He said that New Zealand, although larger than Britain, but with a total population only as great as Manchester or Liverpool, could do with consider-

able immigration, “ I hope, however, that you will take more of a crosssection of the population ages instead of all young people. It is an awful pity

to take the young people; you want family groups.” In his early days, he said, he was a journalist. At the time he was doing his first bits of work on social security he was writing leading articles for the Morning Post —a good conservative paper, though I have always been a radical.” i

Lord and Lady Beveridge stayed at the White Star Hotel at Queenstown. They are returning to the North Island on April 26, where Lord Beveridge will give several public lectures.
