A humorous reference to the military training which has been compulsory for students in China for the past three or four years was made by Mr E. Ling in an address to the Auckland branch of the League of Nations Union. Military uniforms had to be worn, he said, and students were liable to be called up for duty at any time of the day or night. They even had to eat in the military style, being at first allowed only three minutes for a meal. A number suffered from indigestion as a result and the authorities decided to be more lenient, allowing them five minutes.
