THE ARBITRATION COURT.
It is understood that there is some probability of Mr Justice Sim being offered one of the vacancies on the Supreme Court bench; If such be the case, his acceptance would be received; with satisfaction by a, large section of the community. • As' President of the Arbitration Court he has had a very difficult task to perform, and it is notTung to his discredit as a Judge that-he has not been a conspicuous success in this capacity. The Arbitration Court should be composed of men possessed of a business rather than a legal training. They should understand details; of every trade, , and he possessed of more thijn ordinary administrative ability. .It would be difficult, of course, to discover men who would give satisfaction to the parties in every dispute. If, however, tho Court were so constituted that equity would be the first consideration, we should be arriving a little nearer to the goal of perfection in our arbitration system. We believe that a change at the present juncture would be in the best interests of the Dominion.
