The House met at half-past two p.m. CADETS AT THE EXHIBITION. 1 The PREMIER said the Government did ■ not see its way to accede to the demand made for the concentration of a large cadet force at the New Zealand Exhibition, for the reason that the responsibility devolving • on the Government would be too ; great. ' It was, he thought, better to leave the matter to the parents and officers. At the - same time the Government would be pre- ■ pared to extend facilities to parents and officers who may wish to have individual encampments under '. their own care and ' responsibility. On ,no account, however, i would the Government take any responsii bility. It would probably result in those ] corps that Were'enthusiastic being represen- ', ted, and there might be a large number. The arrangement would be for full cadets only. It would not interfere with the district camps. The railways would carry i them free. For ordinary school children : arrangements. had already been made, but the Government was not taking any responsibility. " .-, ' . ,: . FIRST ' READING.
