DUNEDIN, Thursday.
! The Otago provincial council of the Farmers' Union passed a resolution offering to co-operate with the Government in its effort to complete the second and third echelons of the Special Force for overseas. Members advocated the immediate introduction of conscription. The resolution was as follows: —"That while recognising that universal military service is the only fair and democratic method of raking men for overseas, the Farmers' Union will willingly co-operate in the present effort to complete recruiting for the second and third echelons of the Special Force."
