THE HOME GUARD
ROUTING THE NAZIS The formation of the Home Guard, as visualised by the Minister for National Service. Mi" R. Semple, should effectively deal with any potential fifth columnists in New Zealand, according to a declaration made by the Minister when explaining the duties and organisation of the Home Guard to a conference of delegates. "If you build this organisation as I picture it, no fifth column could live in New Zealand," he said. "That is because you will know where they are and (with emphasis) if we know where they are they will soon know where they will be."
