ONLY SONS AND CONSCRIPTION
Sir, —I understand that the military in Franco and Russia, do not conscript only sons, and Australia intended to exempt thorn had tho referendum been "Yes." Is this so? Can you tell mo the position in Now Zealand? 1 seo tho board has exempted sonio cases/ in tho South Island, but havo not noticed any cases in the North Island. There aro a few oases in this district of "only sons" helping their parents on their farms who would liko to know. Thanking you in anticipation,—l am, - A PARENT. Palmerston. [Tho matter is left to tho discretion of tho Military Service Boards, which, consider the. merits of each appeal brought before them. An only son has no special exemption, but ho may represent his case to tho board.]
