"I think the people are fully aware of that and I think tLat wh'at is necessary will be done to unprove the position. We need some of the young rnen who have come baek from the forces, to help consolidat'e the .position. I have been very much encouraged to lind that a number oi' young fellows from Home who have settled in New Zealand sin'ce the war, have taken out warrants. They are fairly evenly distributed througliout the eountry and it has.been -most encouragLng to see their enthusiasm. *
