Trained men for the diplomatic, con-
.sular and colonial service are certainly
to be desired. Perhaps our interests
have not greatly suffered In the past
for want of such men. but our broaden
1ng relations will make an Imperative
demand for representatives and admin
Astrators thoroughly qualified Tor the
duties. These the schools will supply
ms far as needed instruction Is concern
ed, though they cannot give men the
character and tact which are as essen
aial as education. However, the new
impulse is in the right direction, and

New Zealand has anticipated the rest
Of the world by enacting law which
deals SO nationally with all trade dis.
putes that it has actually prevented
strikes for the last five years. It Is
Impossible to present more than an
outline Of the plan. Both associations
of employers and the trade unions may
be Incorporated. Those which are
chartered, or registered, choose the
members Of their own board and also
the members OF the court to which dis.
puties are referred. Whether registered
or not the associations and trade unions
are subject to the law. The colony Of
New Zealand Is divided into industrial
districts, for each Of which there Is a
conciliation board elected for three
years. 1t consists Of two persons
chosen by registered employers: two
by registered trade unions; and one
disinterested person elected by the four,
who Is Chairman. When a dispute
arises between employers and the men
in their employ either party may refer
the matter in dispute to the district
board, which has full authority to In.
vestigate the facts and to recommend
| a settlement. In case either party will
not accept the decision, the matter Is
referred to the state court. This con
sists of one person representing the
trade unions, one the employers, anG
chairman, judge of the Supreme
Court, appointed by the Governor. Th,
court has a three years. term and /.
wisely independent Of politics. A de
cision by this court is final and mus
be accepted, under penalty for viola
ton, not exceeding five hundred
pounds, or twenty five hundred dollars
Moreover, when a dispute has been re
ferred to the conciliation board, an.
until it Is finally settled, a strike O
lockout is Illegal. That there have bee,
about fifty cases referred to distric
boards or to the court in the past fiy,
wears, that during that time there ha
been neither strike nor lockout in New
Zealand, and that in every case tn
decision has been accepted by bot
parties, seems to prove, either that tn
law is excellent, or that 1t is excellent,
administered. Perhaps 1t demonstrate
both propositions. The necessity 70

country is too apparent to require argu
