WEALTH IN WAR-TIME
PRIME MINISTER'S VIEW References in the British House of Commons to his recent statement that conscription in New Zealand in' the event of war would not begin with flesh and blood were the subject of comment last evening by the Prime Minister (the Rt: Hon. M. J. -Savage). "I. don't take anything back," said Mr. Savage. "I believe in what I said. When a nation is fighting for its life, its wealth as well as its manhood should' be brought into its defence, and when its wealth.comes in, its manhood will not need to be conscripted."
