To Seek Racial Origins

Through Music

M. Georges M. De Giron

COURT, 80-years-old French scientist, from Nancy, arrived in New Zealand in February to study Maori music. He proposes later to do research work in French Oceania. His particular field is the tracing of migrants and racial < origins through a study of music, j His work has been published in scientific journals in France and elsewhere. One of his conclusions, from recent studies, is that the South American Incas came origin ally from Asia.

We imagine that his findings in French Oceania to-day, based on musical evidence, are likely to in dicate a strong Broadway and Holly wood admixture, with a fair dash of Hawaiian in the local racial make up.
