SECOND DIVISION. MEN AND WOMEN. CHAMPION considers that what the Right ILon. Mr Massey stated at Belfast should bo carefully considered as his patriotism hadn’t vanished. CANADA states her maximum contribution is hxcd, and that her industries and agriculture must be kept, going, and Champion is of the opinion that the Canadian Ministry is just, as patriotic and far seeing as our own., C'UAMPIOX is strongly opposed to ' .Kaisorism, or one-man power, in any .sphere: politically, as tho rigour of the law is the height of oppression when interpreted by arrogance. TCI 08. this sane and patriotic advice 10 Champion solicits no local or Imperial honours handed out by man, as they arc of little value beyond creating a swelling (vide "London Times"), but onlv asks yon to continue using “CHAMPION” MUSCLE KAISER FLOUR and "STANDARD” OATMEAL AND ROLLED OATS, packed to suit the occasion. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING LETTERS CAREFULLY (Reprints from "Auckland Star,” June 11th and 13th, 1917.1 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND SECOND DIVISION. (To the Editor.) Sir.—l heartily endorse tho sentiments expressed in your sub-leader of ihc 9th hist. It would be most, unfair and cruel for any employer to placate who he considered was a non-essential, obviously he wouldn’t be employed unless he was ■ required. 1 am pleased Mr T. Peacock, a member of the Chamber, stated such a selection would give offence. The Appeal Board is the proper one to give these decisions. 1 think the Chamber wanted to elicit what was to be the Dominion’s maximum contribution, as no Efficiency Board could advise what should be done without knowing the maximum. The Hon. Mr Massey, when speaking_ at a Mayoral banquet at Belfast on November 91th. 1910 (vide London cables), stated if the Dominion contributed 100,000 men it would be a fair proportion. Sir James Allen, a month later, when speaking at Dunedin, said no Ministerial encouragement had been given to tho prevalent idea that 100.000 was to be the Dominion’s contribution. Captain Brown, of the Canadian Recruiting Board, when passing through Auckland on his way home (vide “Star.” February 30th, 1917). stated that Canada had promised to raise 500,000 men, but so far only 381,000 had enlisted. Subsequent Canadian cables indicated that over 200,000 single men had not yet responded. Canada's contribution. on a 10 per cent, basis, would he about 650.000 men. Australia’s, position is somewhat similar to Canada's. The Hon. MacDonald, when speaking at Christchurch on March 21st, stated 67,139 had gone to tire- Front and 10.600. including Maoris, were in camp in Now Zealand, and I think 1 am safe in saying 8000 have since enlisted, making a total of 85,739 men. The Dominion, on a 10 per cent, basis, requires about 15JM0 more, if they can be spared, and this is the question at issue.j America, has joined the Allies and promises to raise an army of 025,000 by October. The foregoing facts require careful consideration. —I am, etc., - June 9th. P. VIRTUE. SECOND DIVISION. (To the Editor.) Sir.—Since writing on the 9th inst. Canada has fixed hep maximum contribution at 500.000 men, which- was promised during 1916. It is apparent only 400.000 men have enlisted, as 100,000 are to bo called up by conscription. Assuming that Canada has a population of say 7.000,000 (though some say it is more), her contribution is a little over 7 per cent. New Zealand’s contribution to date is about 8i per cent.,'- with 30,695 more in the single class to call up. yot news from Wellington indicates that the second class will be also called up.—l am, etc., June 13th. 1517.
