, LONDON, September 9. Bishop Welldon’s Committee of the British Association, appointed in 1920 to report on training in citizenship, describes General Baden Powell’s Boy Scouts and Girl Guides* lessons as the most effectual training on the social side. Mr W. L. Uichons, chairman of the Cammell Laird Shipbuilding Company and president of the Economics section of the' British Association, discussed the principles of wage determination. He condemned compulsory arbitration, preferring mutual agreement between employers and employed. Ho did "not believe in profit-sharing as a solution of the problem of a fair distribution of the proceeds of industry. Neither did he support the scheme of single men wages, with allowances for wives and children. “That remedy,” he said “was worse than the disease. It would have to be administered by the State, and he could not imagine a more detestable form of State Socialism.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
