COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING IT IS NECESSARY IT IS THE ONLY FAIR WAY IT IS THE ONLY EFFECTIVE WA Y The scheme for Compulsory Military Training is necessary to ensure the defence of our People, our Country and our Commonwealth. Our nation is not justified in taking risks by being irresponsible about the future, particularly when facing-the stark facts of the present world situation. YOU must cast your vote FOR Compulsory Military Training if you wish to keep New Zealand secure... safe... strong. HERE ARE THE FACTS: X Twice in 25 years we have defended ourselves successfully against aggressors, but at appalling cost. Prepared strength is our best insurance that it will not happen again, 2 The United Nations has not, up to the present, fulfilled the hopes of its founders. It has not given us international law and order, peace and security, as we hoped it would. We cannot afford to take risks in a dangerous world in which forms of dictatorship threaten. 3 Sound training in modern defence methods protects our men. 4 A compulsory system is the only fair way. It is also the only way that can effectively meet the needs. It is the fair way, the democratic way, the efficient way. 5 To be prepared is to guard the peace. Preparation is one deterrent which aggressors understand. To be capable of self-defence is not to be war-minded. A vote for Compulsory Military Training is a vote against war. 6 The Compulsory Military Training scheme is this; Young men, on reaching the age of 18 years, will spend 14 weeks in camp in the first year. Then they will have J. 4 days in camp and 6 days out-of-camp training during each of three succeeding years. They will then be posted to the reserve for 6 years, but no training will be required of them during those years.
