SHARING OF BURDEN OF WAR
Wanganui, Nov. 26. The annual conference of the New Zealand Laboui’ers’ Federation is being attended by 20 delegates from all parts of New Zealand and representing 14.000 workers. The conference after recalling that it had never endorsed conscription for overseas service, placed on record the opinion that, now conscription was the law, it was only just that all sections of the community should share the burden equally and protested against any section of the commuqjty sheltering behind its own importance to avoid service. The conference adopted a declaration protesting that those who could were only being asked to lend money while others were compelled to give their lives, and urging that money for war finance be raised by the same methods as manpower.—P.A.
