There are many features in con- nection with Borstal not found in ordinary prisons: games, physical exercises, courses in reading, etc. Each institution has its own governor, deputy-govemor, chaplain, house-masters, house-as- sistants, matron, and staff of of- ficers. Many of these an: school and university men. The Borstal System has not been without its critics. Yet the weight of evidence appears to be that it has workcd well, that it has reclaim- ed thousands of young men from a career of crime, made them useful citizens.

Among the abuses which aroused most feeling at ills time. not only in uAmerios but in every belligerent country, was that, while thousands of men sacrificed their lives, limbs, or health, others were able to make enormous profits.

Today the outlook is changed. Agriculture has come to be regarded as an im- portant factor in the country's eco- nomic scheme of things. The Gov- ernment, in fact, has made develop- ment of the land the backbone of its recovery programme. In the past. in good fishing seasons, cul- tivation of the soil was deliberately neglected. The Government now plans that the land shall more coa- sistently receive the attention it deservas. Whilst in many sections the soils may not be suitable for the production of crops, those in the western part of the island are known to bc of great fertility. All the valleys that form the watersheds discharging into the great bays con- tain large areas suitable,for agri- culture. notably the Ccdroy Valley. Humber Valley, Exploits Valley, parts to Green and Bonavista. Bays. the Gander and Ga-mbo areas and parts of Placentia and Fortune Bays. Whilst it is realized that agriculture will always be subsidiary to fishing. the Government intends that it shall be made more produc- tive and profitable as a. secondary industry than heretofore-that in good time it shall be developed to utmost proportions of the island's capacity. That the Commission Govern- ment is seeking only the attainable in this respect is shown in a “state- ment o! policy" which desclaims all pretension that Newfoundland can produce staple products that may be sold abroad in competition with the products of other colultrles. But it is declared that surely it is not an impossible task to provide for the homo markets so that the people shall be made more self-sus- taining. There arc many Newfound- landers who neither grow vegetables nor have the means to buy them. Accordingly, the Government, as tho initial part of its recovery policy. is encouraging this class to grow suf- ficieng for their own needs. To this end. those who are unemployed are, as fares practicable, being settled on the land or shown how to utilize what land they have. It is submit- ted that. with care and proper cul- tivation, vegetables, such as potaocs, cabbage, beets, carrots and parsnips, and fruits, such as apples, plums. strawberries, gooseberries, rasp- berries and currents. can be pro- - duccd in most parts of the island, whilst in certain sections oats can be successfully grown for reaping prior to maturity as food for livc- stock, to increase the quantity of which special efforts are to be lnade in the immediate future. Experi- ments undertaken by individual farmers and encouraged by the Government have gone to show that the letters ambitions in the realm of agriculture may not be dispro- portionate to Newfoundlands capa- city. If. therefore, the people W110 are directly concerned are duly res- ponsive to the Administration's plea that they shall make al-irlfiill- ture the instrument by which n larger national independence can be reached, there is a real lrospsct that the rewards will be as substan- tial as the Government anticipates in its current statement of policy. The “Next” War (Halifax Chronicle) Senator Hughes of Prince Edward Island fathers a resolution propos- ing what Canada should do if an- other war should evnr come. Im- mediately everything would be con- scripted, both material and man power. A supreme War Council should exercise supreme control- Men and women would be assigned to the post for which it deemed them best fitted.

The Governor General would receive no more than private in the ranks and so on down tbn line from top to bottom. Some of his other poposals are even more drastic.
