VOLUNTARY TRAINING
NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Some speculation is being indulged in in the lobbies at Parliament House as to whether the Government will introduce a clause in the Appropriation Bill to give effect to the provision in the Defence (Temporary) Amendment Bill, which was defeated in the Legislative, Council, enabling the’ Defence Department to recognise voluntary organisations for the x purposes of . military training. Questioned on the subject, the Minister of Defence (the Hon. J. G. Cobbe) stated that there was no such intention at present. ’ It is understood that had the Defence Amendment Bill been passed there would have’ been immediate applications from several districts for assistance in setting up voluntary training organisations; indeed, the Minister received one such application from Hawke’s Bay while the Bill was before the House of Representatives.
