TERRITORIAL FORCE
MORE ENCOURAGEMENT NECESSARY The suggestion that the Government should encourage young men in the State's service to enlist in the Territorial Force and that more should be done in giving facilities for attendance at camps was made by Captain J. J. Clark at this week's meeting of the general committee of the Wellington branch of the New Zealand - Defence League. Captain Clark emphasised that manpower was the most important factor in defence. The public, he said, did not take sufficient interest in the training of young men for the defence of the Dominion. » ■ . Captain Clark urged that it was the duty of .employers to see that young men in their employ joined the territorials. Employers were not doing their share. It was a cheap insurance if they, supported and encouraged their employees so that there would be an adequate and efficient force to defend New Zealand.
