Maori to represent N.Z. at Ceylon conference

Maori to represent N.Z. at Ceylon conference

According to present plans Mr. Peter Gordon, a Maori member of the AUG Students' Association Executive, will be a member of the three-man NZUSA delegation at the Sixth International Student Conference to be held in Ceylon next month.

After the conference Mr. Gordon will, visit a number of South-East Asian countries on a good-will mission.

At the Easter council meeting of NZUSA in Wellington it was decided that Mr. Gordon should attend the Asian-African Student Conference in Bandung, Indonesia, as a New Zealand representative. The Bandung conference was held sooner than was expected, however, and NZUSA did not receive an invitation.

An American foundation which was to have financed Mr. Gordon's travel to and from Bandung, has now advised NZUSA that it will pay for Mr. Gordon to go to Col umbo and to a number of other South-East Asian countries. The letter from America states:

"We are pleased to be able to inform you that we shall be able to make funds available for Mr. Gordon's round trip tourist fare to Colombo . . . . the amount to be such as to enable him to follow the route you have suggested . . ."

The route proposed by NZUSA is: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Sydney, Djakarta, Singapore, Colombo, Calcutta, Delhi, Karachi, Calcutta, Rangoon, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Manila, Sydney, Auckland.
