SEA CADET CORPS
NAVY LEAGIE MOVE For the purpose of extending and widening the scope of the Navy League Sea Cadet Corps in New Zealand, a meeting of delegates of Navy League branches in the Dominion has been held in Wellington. Mr. Gordon J. Reid, chairman of the New Zealand Navy League War Council, presided, and representatives were present from Auckland, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Canterbury and Wellington sub-branch. The value of the Navy League Sea Cadet Corps to the Navy and the Fleet Air Arm was explained, and it was stated that "to maintain and develop the Navy League Sea Cadet Corps and Training Ship Movement" was one of the main planks in the league.
The meeting unanimously decided to establish a central office for the control of the sea cadet movement at Christchurch, under the auspices of the Canterbury branch of the Navy League, which is the oldest branch in New Zealand, and whose sea cadets have been established for many years.
The movement is already well established in England, Canada, Australia and South Africa, and some years ago Lord Nuffield gave £50.000 to the Home branch of the Navy League for its special development.
