Special Correspondents to The sus.


LONDON, Sept. 22.-For some time
past the British Government has been
promoting endesvors to open up avenues
of employment for the many young offi-
GERS who served In the war and by
means of training schemes and educa-
tional courses to At them for the work

whose appetite for adventure and love
Of an open air life have been whetted
by war experience. the prospect Of life
on an ONCE stool has seemed more than
tribe prosaic. They have welcomed,
therefore. an unofficial scheme to train
and to settle them as ranchers In Gem
trail America.
The scheme has been initiated By
Brig. Gen. A. C. Critchley of the Royal
Air Force. who has an extensive estate
in Central America, on which horses.
cattle and sheep are reared. and cotton,
corn. wheat. fruit, timber and rubber
are grown.
Only a limited number of ex-officers,
to be selected by the Ex-Officers' Ma
tional Federation, can be included Ia the
scheme. Every member Of the party,
Gen. Critchley points out, will be ex.
pected to work hard.
At present the intention Is to give the
men one years tuition in whatever
branch Of ranchins they desire, their In
structors to be professors from the lead
ing agricultural college Of Central Amer

LONDON, Sept 22.--"will II work.
is the question the Man in the Street"
is asking regarding the Prohteering Act
which came into force recently.
Few people expect any great direct
result from the Act. For II Is extremely
doubtful as to whether the public will
supply the necessary information Of ex-
cessive charges TO the local committees.
The new Act does not make It easy
for the complainant to set the law In
motion. At the same time the public
will have to be very sure OF their cases
before they complain, the local committee
having the power to fine the complain
ant who fails to prove his case a sum
up to $3.50 and also to order the pay
ment of costs OF the inquiry.
A failure of one or two prosecutions
with the consequent fine and costs TO be
paid by the informant would have the
effect Of rendering the local committees
work a farce II not entirely killing their
activities. F""
Reliance on the public for the prose-
cution of offenders Is not a success In
this country. Under the working OF the
Food Control regulations very few cases
were taken into court at the instance of
cutions being the work Of officials of
the Ministry who found that their great
est difficulty was the persuading Of vic
Tins to appear in court and prosecute
their complaints. This allowed hundreds
Of offenders to escape well deserved PEN
alties and was the cause Of the depart
ment receiving an unwarranted amount
of adverse criticism.
In official circles 1t is considered that
the indirect effect of the Act will prove
its value to the community as pre-
ventive of profiteering.
The Act which will be In force for six
|, months gives the central committee
powers to deal with any question OF
costs or prices from the price OF reel
of cotton to the cost of building house.
The committee can investigate the books
of any FIRM that has handled any article
which Ia the subject Of charge.
According to Mr.. McCurdy, chairman
Of the central committee. the Act gives
the Board of Trade powers to inquire
into tho operations OF trusts and COM
bines Of that kind, and before the Act
expires legislation will be introduced to
make these powers permanent.
A great number Of local authorities
have held special meetings for the ap-
pointment of the district committees re-
quired under the operation OF the act,
but some districts claim to be free from
both profiteering and high prices. In
this case of refusal to appoint commit
tees the Board Of Trade will appoint a
committee independent Of the local au-
| thorities' wishes II they consider It
necessary or the public demand the set
ting up of the committee.
