PLEASE KEA.D THE FOLLOWING LETTERS CAREFULLY v— CRepttnts from "Auckland Star." June 11 and 13. 1917.; CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. A.YD SECOND DIVISION. (To tho Editor.) Sir, —I heartily endorse the sentiments expressed In jour snb-leadDr of the 'Jth inst. It would be most unfair and cruel for any employer to placate who he considered was a non-essential, obviously be wouldn't be employed unless ha was required. I am pleased Mr T. Peacock, a member of the Chamber, stated such a selection would give offence. The Appeal Board is the proper one to give these decisions. I think the Chamber wanted to elicit what was to be the Oniiilnlon's maximum contribution, ac no Efficiency Board conld advise what should be done without knowing the maximum. The Hon. Mr Massey, when speaking at a Mayoral Danquet at Belfast on November 24, 181(5 (vide London cable*!, stated If the Dominion contributed 100,000 nipii it TC-milrl ho a full- r,rr,n/.rtl/, n <!,-

James Allen, a month hirer, when speaking ! at Dunedin, said no Ministerial encouraj;en>ent na«l been given to thn prevalent idea that 100,000 was lo be the Dominion's contribution. Captain Brown, of the Canadian Ue-nilting Board, when passing through Auckland, on his way home (vide "Star," 20tu February. lfllT), sl-ated that Canada had promised to raise &00.000 men, but so far only :£ 1.000 had enlisted. Subsequent Canadian cables Indicated that over 200.000 single men had not yet responded. Canada's contribution, on a 10 per cent basis, woold be aboot 650.000 men. Australia's position Is somewhat similar to Canada's. The Hon. MaeDonald. when stated c>7.130 had gone, to the Front and IO.UOO. including Maoris, were Id camp Id New Zealand, and 1 think I am cafe in Buying 8,i)00 have since enlisted, making a total of 50,73(> men. The Dominion, on a 10 per rent basis, requires about 15.000 more, if they can be epared. and this Is the question at Issue. America has Joined the Allies and promises to raise an army of G25.000 by October. The foregoing facts reqnire careful consideration.—l am. etc., Jooe 0. P. VIKTCE. SECOND DHTCSION. (To the E<ll tor.) Sir,—Since writing on the 9th met. Canada has ti-ted her mulniiim contribution at. ."100.000 men, which was promised during 101 G. It is apparent only 400,000 men have enlisted, as 100,000 are to be called ap by conscription. Assuming that Canada has a population of say 7,000,000 (though noma say it Is more), her contribution Is a little over 7 per cent. New Zealand's contribution to (late Is übont Sj per cent, with ao,fJO3 more In the single class to call up, yet news from Wellington indicates that the second class will be also called np.— I am, etc., June 13, IHI7. <P.
