COMPULSORY ARMY TRAINING
PERIODICAL REVIEW OF ISSUE URGED
The public questions committee Of the New Zealand Methodist Conference will be asked to consider the need for a review of compulsory military training at the polls. The following resolution, moved by the Rev. B. J. Hilder, was carried at a meeting of the North Canterbury District Synod of the Methodist Chur'ch: “That, as the decision to institute compulsory military training in peace time was the result of a referendum, this synod requests the public questions committee to give consideration to the principle of conscription as a permanent peace time measure, with a view to protecting the right of the people to express any change of attitude in the matter?’
