THE CITIZEN ARMY
A PROPER IDjgAL,
NEW ZEALANDERS AS OFFICERS,
(Pes United Pbess Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, February 19. In a further interview to-day General Godley said hie ideal was to see the New Zealand Citizens' Army staffed by New Zealand officers. He Hoped at- the end of the year, or at the most two years, that this would be practically the case, and New Zealanders would be able to regard their army as "their very own." The ambition was a very proper one, and he would be glad to help in realising it. An occasional exchange of officers might be desirable, but as good men could be produced in New Zealand as in any other part of the world. He hoped to see all the colonials that were wanted taking up the defence as a profession.
