Among gardens and open spaces, and in decent housing, no Bolshevism is to be found, and society—using the word in its largest sense—should, for its own protection, see that its poorer membes are not compelled to live in surroundings which, by their very nature, nroduee discontent and breed congenital rebels. Among the many perplexing problems which the Old Country has to face, this is undoubtedly one of the most serious, and with the march of the years it' may become serious iu New Zealand, too, unless on the principle of prevention being better than cure, steps are taken in time to guard against the overgrowth of our cities. One of the most important of these .steps, as well as one of the most difficult, is undoubtedly the location of industries, which is, indeed, one of the first to be considered.-AVan-ganui “Chronicle.”

Tim mistake the Arbitration Court has made and that it continues to make is that it fails to take into account the ability of an industry to continue working at a profit, under the increased costs of the awards it makes from time to time. A fact too often lost sight of is that one cannot expect to take more out of an industry than is put into it, and that, if the product is faulty, inferior, or too limited to cover the costs of production, and allow the employer the margin of profit necessary for the conduct of his business, lie must, sooner or later, go to the wall.—“Mnnawntu Standard.”
