"It was unanimously endorsed as recently as our annual conference in May, before the Government's decision to'hold a referendum on the question. We again afflrm that compulsory military training is inseparable from the needs of the moment and now that the country has declared we must have it, it is up to all empioyers to see that those young men in their ernploy who eome under the scheme, get it. I urge all business people to reduce their appeals on behalf of staff' to the absolute mmimum. The methods- of training to De used are matters for military experts. Our job is to get behind them, facilitate the release from their jobs of our young employees, and not throw a spanner in the works. I know it will be awkward for some empioyers but not as awkward as pulling a riekshaw or something similaT. ' '
