Such a condition of thinge mast not be allowed to recur, if Britain is to remain a self-respecting nation.

Now is the time for powerful organisations to busy themselves with arranging for a big back to the land" movement such as the world bas never anon before. For the unlearned man or the man who is too old to learn, grants of land should be set aside in Canada, Australasia and South Africa, while to the more aotive-brained men every facility should be offered for instruction in planting and for subsequent employment on estates in the East, or in West Africa, South Amerias or the West Indies. We have shown in previous. articles that the rubber, tea, cotton and ocflos companies are going less than a third of the value out of their estates for the sole reason that incompetent and untrained men are too often employed; and the fact that this is realised at Home is illustrated by the planning of colleges for instruction in tropical agriculture. Naturally there are scores of other directiona'în which work oan and ought to be found. for ex-soldiers, bus the best direction of all is the land.
