INDUSTRIAL JUDGES

A CHANCE FOR YOUNGER MEN A holiday visitor with very happy recollections jof previous visits to New Zealand is Mr. Justice Cantor, who arrived at Auckland by the TJlimaroa. Judge Cantor was recently appointed to the industrial commission of New South Wales, and has the distinction of being one of the youngest judges ever appointed in Australia dr New Zealand. He is 40, but his colleague, Mr. Justice Strut, is only 38. These two, with Judge Piddington, form the Now South Wales industrial commission. The departure from precedent in giving younger men an opportunity in a position usually reserved for men of riper years is being watched with considerable interest.

Judge Cantor took part in the work of the commission only for about a week before the Christmas* vacation intervened. He is spending it in New Zealand, which he considers is a most delightful place for a tourist. “I would live here if I could,” he said, “but my work lies elsewhere.” He was practising at the Bar in Sydney when he was called to the Judicial Office. ’ He saw much of the North Island on a previous visit, and is to spend the most of his time in the south on this vacation, which will last till January 30. He expects to include the Milford Track in his itinerary.
