DETAILS OF RECRUITS
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED SAVING EMBARRASSMENT Because employers in Christchurch _ have been besieged with aplications for positions likely to be left vacant by volunteers for the Second Expeditionary Force, the publication of any information about recruits other than their names and initials has been forbidden. ; The decision is in part in- line with advice received in Dunedin by Dr D. G. McMillan, M.P., from the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones. In his letter the Minister said that the reason, for the non-publication of the occupations of recruits for the New Zealand Expeditionary Force was that where the occupations had been published both employers and employees had suffered embarrassment.
