Certainly the system of justice and citizenship of the British Umpire stands first in the world.” America, was ail extremely wealthy country, stated Air Agar. She ..ad many internal problems to face, not the least of which was the wealth and organisation of the underworld, made possible by the organisation of the sale of alcoholic liquor.

The countrv is very progressive, but one is thankful to return to the peaceful conditions and high standard of public life of the British Empire.”
