Tasks Open for Rhodes Scholars
GENEVA SECRETARIAT AUSTRALIA’S SUGGESTION A suggestion that a good outlet for Rhodes scholars would be in the secretariat of the League of Nations, comes from Mr. R. N. Kershaw, a through passenger on the Aorangi. Mr. Kershaw, it former Rhodes scholar fro mthe Sydney University, is a member of the minoi'ities section of the Secretariat of the League at Geneva. Ho said this morning that the minorities section of the secretariat dealt with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, with particular regard for the different racial elements which arose out of a number of treaties made after the war. These treaties were made to guarantee certain rights to elements in the population which were of a different race to those of the countries in which they lived. “Our work is to see that those treaties aro effectively observed,” said Mr. Kershaw. “It is difficult work. People who were enemies not so many years ago have been placed in countries side by side. However, the situation is much better than it was five years ago, but it will require a decade before the bitterness has worn off. It will not be so necessary to apply those treaties then, but they will still be in opex*ation.”
Mr. Kershaw has been on holiday in Australia for the last three months.
