OUR BRAINS TRUST
Sir-New Zealand has done well form a Brains Trust. With Donal McCullough as its father, counsellor, and friend, it cannot fail to acquire @ large circle of staunch supporters. But I am hoping that as New Zealand is 4 young country she will. perhaps suggest some new ideas as to the avenues frong which brains might be put in trust for the benefit of this country, and indeed for the benefit of the world at large, Many of our difficulties, both at home and abroad, arise from a lack of undere standing of each other’s problems, view« points, and ways of life. Often those problems are the same and unity of opinion could be achieved by discuse sion. I would, therefore, suggest as a new departure in Brains Trusts that on occasions the Brains Trust should. add to’ their number representatives of several different countries, and, with the aid of interpreters, if necessary, quese tions of general interest should be’ dise cussed, each giving his different point of view, and each suggesting where and how such points of view might be brought into better harmony. Due notice should be given to the speakers of the questions they are asked to dise cuss. Those unable to attend on account of distance might post their opiniong for reading and discussion at th@ meeting.
