In Australia the matter was different. In the bad, old days men and women were shipped over seas for offences which would not earn fourteen days' hard labour now, and the majority of them were morally and physically sound. Moreover, they were Anglo-Saxons. They knew how to tackle the wilderness and subdue it, and when they won their freedom they mixed freely with freemen, and, in due course, the wilderness got subdued, and the new nations got started. That was because there was a maximum of ind...ividual, initiative, and a minimum of government control which made it possible for the man to work out his own moral and social re- demption, and at the same time to shape a country for his children to dwell in. When I first went to Australia as a lad in the deck-house of a limejuicer, the letters M. L. A. Didn't only mean Member of the Legislative Assembly. Sometimes they meant Mustn't Leave Australia ; but to-day the penal settlements of fifty years ago are federated nations. Caledonia is still a convict settlement, and such it must remain until the last drop of convict blood within its confines solidifies in the veins of its last 88 3n an "dnfenown prison Xanfc dead criminal, or until its moral and social swamp is drained and purified by more drastic measures than its present rulers appear to have dreamt of.
