Affairs in South Africa, he | states, have taken a decided turn in | | favor of prohibition.

But a large illicit liquor traf- i { fie is carried on, and many of the! | poorer classes of Europeans, chiefly | ! Duteh, have taken to this nefarious | business, The result is that very dras- | tic laws have been passed against | the traffic, but so remunerative is it, | | that notwithstanding heavy fines and | | long terms of imprisonment, the traf- | | Bc still flourishes, i | "It was to Inquire into this matter ! | that the select committee referred to was appointed.

Eas- | tom, the honorary secretary of the | | British Immigration League, ! | tJ. T. Clatworthy, the president of | {the Cardiff Coal Trimmers" Union, | {and member of the Nations] Alli-| | ance of Employers and Employed, | | after declaring his "most hearty and | cordial support to the movement in favor of the establishment of land | banks," wrote that as a représenta- ive of labor, be regarded it as abso- { lutely essential that it should be [MAS AF Sasy 48 possible for thé peo- ple to be settled on the land. "The | present position is," he continued, { "that thousands come flocking into our great industrial centres, and ikis, in comscquence, is one of the causes of industria! umrest. If we are to prosper ad a nation, it seems i to me that it is essential that the Government should offer every means possible, and certainly by the means | indicated above, {0 provide epportun- | [ ties for many of our discharged | sailors and soldiers and others to set- | tle upon the land." = Writing from the House of Lords, | Lord Willoughby de Broke, who has | prominently identified himself with | the land beck movement, and is a patton of the 'British Immigration.

Cheating the Ex-Soldier. } | Appearing before Medied]l Beards lin 1916 and 1917, a private in the R.F.A~--a married man with four children, who had snlifted voluntar- ily in 1915---was each time "marked for discharge," although urged by his C.O. not te press for relegse, as he was "doing such good work in the ary." Aeceding to this request, he continued In khaki until, upon the formation of the Ministry of National Service, his good work was rewarded by an appointment as "Area Recor-| der' 'at a salary of £400 per annum. Stil technically a soldier, he waited | patiently for his discharge. He was | disappointed to find that on the re- placement of his army pay by a civil salary there were growing arrears of payment. To meet this it was ar- ranged, under official sanction, that his G.Q. should @dvance him cebtain sums of money for his immediate needs, and it was not until he had borrowed £35 in this way that the | Natiohal Service authorities made the extraordinary announcement 7 that his comfortable appointment was a "mistake" and must be cancelled-- it having been discovered that the appointment was one for which "a serving soldier" was not technically eligible. In the circumstances, the very least these blundering bureau- crats should have done was to have paid the soldier's salary up to the date of the cancellation of his ap- | Dointment--instead of which they | actually ordered him to refund out of his own pocket the £35 advanced on their aecount. For downright, injus- tice this is, as George Robey would say, 'the uttermost ext outside edge." ] i 1 { A Brave Australian. } The King has approved the award i of the Victoria Cross to Corpl.
