Excerpt from A Country Without Strikes: A Visit to the Arbitration Court of New Zealand These, indeed, were not its immediate aims though they are consequences - and very valu able consequences - which have flowed from it. Its special and primary object was to bring about industrial peace, and, in so far as it has substituted orderly and methodical hearing and adjudication by impartial state tribunals for the loose, violent and haphazard methods of the strike and the lockout, it has succeeded in bring ing about industrial peace. True it is that an act under which one of the parties to an industrial dispute has the right to bring all other parties before a pub lic tribunal does, in effect, if general use be made of it, involve a great deal of state regulation of labour. That is what has come about in New Zealand, and those who look upon state interference as anathema, and think that any law which increases it is necessar ily bad, will regard the arbitration law with abhorrence. So far, however, as New Zea land is concerned, a sufficient answer to this objection is easily found. In the first place, if the parties to labour disputes there wish to settle their own differences in their own way, the state does not meddle with them. In the second place, New Zealand is perhaps the most simple and complete little democracy in the world; legislation is facile, and were any law found tyrannical or intolerable it would have very short Shrift indeed. In New Zealand, I may remark, the most powerful class in politics are not the wage-earners but the farmers.
