MADE ARMY HUTS
CASE OF OBJECTOR
"INCONSISTENT ATTITUDE"
"Your whole attitude reeks of inconsistency," said Mr. A. M. Samuel, a member of the No. 1 Armed Forces Appeal Board, this morning, when Hector Reuben McIntyre, carpenter, applied for exemption from military service on the grounds that he was a conscientious objector.
Reservist stated that he was a member of a sect called Christians. He was not prepared to do noncombatant service in the army. In answer to Mr. F. J. Cox, Crown representative, reservist said he was at present engaged in constructing army huts. He had left another job to take on this work at which he admitted he made about £10 a week.
The chairman, Mr. C. R. OrrWalker, S.M., said that reservist's attitude was hypocritical. If he was in earnest about his objection he could have'remained in the other job, in which he was earning £7 a week, and not undertaken the other work. The appeal was dismissed. The board dismissed the appeal of Neil Layton Suckling, warehouseman, on conscientious grounds, but ordered non-combatant service.
