Territorial Association Welcomes The Call

[Per Press Association. —■ Copyright."} DUNEDIN, This Day. "As the Territorial Association’s main object is to encourage recruiting, members will welcome the Prime Minister’s appeal,” said the Hon. W. Downie Stewart, president of the Dunedin branch of the association. The branch also highly approved that the declaration of defence should be free from party politics. and he hoped some of Mr Savage's colleagues would take note of it. At the same time, tins did not mean that any one should bo denounced as unpatriotic who criticised details. It that were so, trade unionists in England would lose the right to criticise Britain’s conscription policy. In New Zealand, while the Territorial Association would endeavour to make a success of any scheme the Government adopted, this would not deprive members advocating compulsory service if they thought it the fairest democratic system. Mr Stewart added that Mr Savage held that if the internal living standards of all countries rose, the main cause of war would disappear. Mr Stewart reversed the statement, holding that only when international peace was obtained was each country free to develop its internal economy standard.
