CONSCRIPTION ISSUE
Attitude Of Government Members In Last War
The attitude of some members of the party now the Government toward conscription in the last war was referred to by Mr? Dickie (Opposition, l-’atea) In the debate on war finance. In view of the fact that a great number of members on the Government, side opposed service in Hie last, war on the ground that they wanted conscription of wealth, said Mr. Dickie, it was interesting to hear the statement by the Minister of Finance, Mr. Nash, that conscription of wealth now was nothing like so drastic as that put into effect in the last war. “It looks ns though those gentlemen who in the last war were running round trying to put a spoke in the wheel and singing the Red Flag will liave to look around for another excuse," Mr. Dickie said. He was not opposed to compulsion, but was concerned to see that It was applied in as fair a way as possible, he added.
