CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS
A VARIETY OF MOTIVES (P.A.) AUCKLAND, May 29. “We find in cases of conscientious objectors that some are genuine and deeply religious. Others are merely cowards who are to be pitied, and some are enemies of the country, while there is a fourth class who want to stay at home with their present privileges, which others are protecting for them.” These remarks were made to-day by Mr C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., chairman of the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board, when a number of appeals on conscientious grounds were heard. Most of the appeals were dismissed.
