MILITARY TRAINING
NO COMPULSION INTENDED REORG ANISATION SCHEME (Special to tlio Herald.) WELLINGTON, this day. A suggestion contained in a Christchurch newspaper that the Government may reintroduce compulsory military training was given an emphatic denial by the Minister of Defence, Hon. F. Jones, in an interview last evening.
“The adoption of compulsory military training,” said the Minister, “has never been suggested, nor is it intended.”
Mr. Jones said that the question of the reorganisation of the land forces of the Dominion was under consideration, and had been under consideration for some time. As he had already announced, he hoped to be able to make a statement as early as possible.
