"WHY IN CAMERA?"
REASONS GIVEN
BETTER RESULTS
"Why in camera?" asked Mr. F. W. Doidge (National. Tauranga) when the Acting Prime Minister was explaining the method of investigation to be followed by the three special tribunals to deal with conscientious objectors to military service Mr Nash replied that the private hearing would be for the purpose of obtaining information as to what should be done. There would be private information regarding, the financial position of the person concerned. There was no question of hiding something, but simply of finding out in the best way possible how the independent tribunals could deal with the objector. "We believe," continued Mr. Nash, "that these gentlemen of the highest integrity will get better results if the persons come before them in private than if they were deal! with in open court. But the decisions will be made public. There might be a case of man getting £500, £600, or £1000 a year. If he went to the front he might get £400 or £500 a year, and the tribunal has to determine how this person. should be cut down as closely as possible to like conditions."
