It says tkat tke criminals trahsported to Australia and America were tke ancestors of .a robust new people and of a new sivilisation. "If penal transportation could work juch wonders for criminal Engliskmen in early Australia aud America, let us not ignore tkat ii was a magnificent and fruitful puniskment which we might well pa^s on to present offendera," tke paper adds.
