MILITARY TRAINING
RESTORATION OF UNITS DEFENCE LEAGUE'S ADVOCACY The restoration of the territorial units which existed prior to 1921 through the reintroduction of compulsory .training was advocated in resolutions adopted by the New Zealand Defence League at its Dominion conference in Wellington. Tho league also affirmed tho principle of equality of economic sacrifice in war-time. The defence of Australia and New Zealand;*it was agreed, should bo regarded as one indivisible problem, and the league urged that plans for joint and mutual defence should bo the subject of consultation between the general staffs of tho two countries. Support was also given to the suggestion of establishing a national register of both men and women, who would be under an obligation to serve the country in a manner most convenient to their ability and to tho requirements of the situation. Appreciation was expressed of legislation designed to improve phj-sical welfare.
