WAGES FOR MILITARY TRAINEES
* TO TUE EDITOR OF- THE PRESS. gj r your column in last Saturday's P.RES3 under heading of.'"Trainees'-Wages," it seems perfectly plain where our'so-called patriotism begins and ends. Some people seem quite hysterical at the thought of having to-contribute. a fortnight's iViiges to"the lads that are in the unfortunate position of having to go into camp annually'.at the bequest of the Government.

SERIOUS. HawardeD, September -19 th.:
