HOME DEFENCE
COMPULSORY SERVICE
URGED
A remit carried by the Dominion Council of the New Zealand Returned Services' Association yesterday afternoon expressed the hope that full use would be made of the experience of returned soldiers of the past and present wars in the appointing of Home Guard staff and executive officers, except where civilians might be specially qualified because of their occupation or past training. It was also decided to urge Dominion headquarters to institute a Domin-ion-wide campaign asking the Goyernment to introduce compulsory universal national service. The reason was stated to be the failure of a very large number of eligible men to enrol in the Home Guard, National Military Reserve, E.P.S., and other national service organisations or to attend parades and otherwise carry out their duties as members.
