THE ARBITRATION COURT
Sir, —The Arbitration Court is evidently partly or wholly abortive; else why have we strikes? Possibly if the Arbitration Court employed juries, in addition to judges, its decisions might meet with more respect. Civilisation can only be obtained pacifically and can be more easily achieved in a small homogeneous association of people such as we have in New Zealand than in the unwieldy masses aggregated in other countries. If we cannot achieve internal peace, then there is no hope of international peace; while if we can achieve internal peace, then we may set an example of how humanity can live humanely. Wars and strikes only differ i® degree, the inevitable outcome of the use of bo|h or 1 either will be slavery for the many and knavery for a few.—Yours, etc., H. J. BUTTLE. Darfield, January 16, 1947.
