FIRM ATTITUDE URGED O.C. AUCKLAND, This Day. The attitude of the Returned Services' Association concerning military defaulters was discussed at a special meeting of the Waikato branch last night. On the motion of the president, Mr. A. L. Fow, the following' resolution was unanimously adopted:— "That this meeting fully supports the policy of the Dominion executive and urges it to make the strongest possible representations that all military defaulters should be deprived of their civil rights for ten years after the cessation of hostilities; that they should be held in detention camps for 12 months after the war or until such time as all men and women from overseas shall have been rehabilitated; that defaulters should be debarred from employment in any Government department or in any institution maintained by the taxpayer." As the result of further discussion it was also resolved to urge the Dominion executive to make representations to ensure that while in detention camps military defaulters should be employed on work of a productive nature.
