WEATHER MAN’S TOUR
VISIT TO WORLD CONFERENCE SHOULD DR. BATES GO? THE SUN'S Parliamentary Reporter PARLIAMENT BLDGS, Thursday. Exception was taken, during the Scientific and Industrial Research Estimates discussion, this evening by the Leader of the Opposition, the Right Hon. J. G. Coates, to sending the Rev. D. C. Bates to the meteorological conference in London next year. He held that the present head of the Meteorological Department should be sent. The Minister of Scientific and Industrial Research, the Hon. H. Atmore, said he agreed with Mr. Coates, but held that, in the circumstances, the best man was being sent. There was plenty of time for Dr. Kidson to take trips, and he would be acquainted with everything that transpired at the conference. Mr. D. Jones (Mid. Canterbury) was surprised to hear that Dr. Bates was going and said, speaking as a farmer, that there was a great improvement in the weather reports since Dr. Kidson took over. Mr. A. M. Samuel (Thames): In the weather?
Mr. Jones said feeling on the subject was strong, and he did not think the older man should be sent, as he was leaving the position and Dr. Ividson h«id many years before him.
