THE SOLDIERS' VOTES
HELP OF "N.Z.E.F. TIMES"
(N.Z.E.F. Official News Service.) CAIRO, September 17. Interest in the General Election is considerably heightened by the publication in the "N.Z.E.F. Times" of the policy statements of the contestant parties, and a general topic of conversation among New Zealand troops is the merits and demerits of the respective candidates and the aims and objects of the various political organisations. The furnishing of : policy statements as well as the full identification of every candidate has at least prevented the soldiers from voting in the dark. Four pages of the "Times are devoted to the election, of which the organisation extends from Cairo, to Tripoli in the west and the Turkish border in the east. Every /effort has been made to facilitate voting, which it is hoped will be completed within the next few days, in order that the results may be forwarded to New Zealand in time for inclusion m the Dominion returns. The polling is being carried out in the. field during mobile training as well as in the base and non-divisional units.
