COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING.
TO TBS BDITOE. Sir, — Referring to your aub-leador in which you reply to "A Loyal Subjeot," I venture to say that though there may be various Bip Van Winkles who are waking up now, we are not, all such, j Those people in favour of the "hired assassins' [ trade" may gloat over their assumed victory, but the Government will find out there is a strong body of opinion against this outrage on the liberty of the subject. I havo a son (aged 13} who objects to fight for a country which does not belong to him. The working class have no country. Therefore, I protest against any compulsoi'y military training ' for my son. I brought him into. tho > world, fed, olothed, and educated him, and 1 refuse to hand over the right of arrangements for his future to any sot of political freaks. —I am, etc., PASERO. , Wellington, 12th May, 1911.
