“It has 'oeen- well said that a man who works will beat one who does not,” said Mr. AV. Hayward, at the annual meeting of the Christchurch Employers’ Association. “The same wisdom is applicable to nations. Yet we still hear representatives of Labour in different countries assert that the right short cut to prosperity for all is to reduce the' working day and increase the wage of the worker. It is an attractive panacea for industrial depression, but it does not provide against foreign-.competition on opposite lines of labour. Thus British communities must work h aider everywhere or drift down, loaded with debt, to a level inferior to that of harder working nations.’’ Testimony to tho efficacy of the finger-print system is contained in the annual leport of the Commissioner of Police. Two coded finger-print classifications were 1 last year received by cablegram from the London, poke, and a searoli in the lo:-al finger-print collection revealed the fact that these offenders’ prints had not been recorded he:e. The cablegrams were then repeated to the Sydney police, and they identified each offender and'cab'ed their records direct to London. This is believed to be the first occasion on which coded finger-prints have been received a cablegram. in Australasia, and bv means of them the London police were able to produce the Australian records of the two offenders in the London Court within a few hours of their arrest. On the 31st March the finger-print collection consisted of the impressions of 33,802 persons, an increase of 1873 on last year’s figures.
