WARNING TO OWNERS.
Per Press Association,
WELLINGTON. March 14,
"A large number of vehicles have been inspected and many appeals decided. The results in Auckland and Wellington clearly show that some owners are neglecting to comply with their warrants. If they do not do so immediately appropriate action. for enforcement will be necessary," said Hon. F. Jones in. a statement to-night about the impressment of vehicles for the Army. "I appeal to vehicle-owners as citizens to recognise the country's necessity in this critical time. Every ounce of effort is required. Co-operation as never before in the history of this country is essential. Hundreds of owners have already handed over their vehicles under the warrants, and I cannot think that other owners will refuse and so hinder the war effort. But if they do not respond to the warrants of impressment they are doing just that, and in the interests of national security the Government must ensure that the Army's requirements are met. It would be failing in its duty if it did anything less." ,
