“PLAYED A PART”
CRIMINALS IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright SYDNEY, November 23. Mr H. M. Green, the Sydney University Librarian, in a lecture on the Sesquicentenary Celebrations, said it would be absurd to attempt to dismiss convicts from the Australian history. They played a part in Australian literature as well as in Australian life. “ROBUST NEW PEOPLE” AMERICAN APPLAUSE OF STATEMENT United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright NEW YORK, November 22. “The New York Herald-Tribune” editorially applauds Mr Green’s comments. It says that criminals transported to Australia and America were the ancestors of a robust new people and a new civilisation. “If penal transportation could work such wonders for the criminal Englishman in early Australia and America, let us not ignore that it was a magnificent, fruitful punishment, which we might well pass on to present offenders.”
