RED TAPE.
Sir, —Tlic representation that the Hutt County Council will probably make to the Defence Department to tho effect that 70 per cent, of tlio men in camp absorbed m administrative duties might, and Bhould be, in the ranks as cfiectives, is an estimate probably under tho.mark. It is indeed sad to think that while appeals are made for hundreds short of the quotas, there arc hundreds not only in the camps, in the Dominions, but most probably also at the baso engaged in clerical work which might as well, or better, be done by men in the best of health, but who being over military age, as at prosont defined, aro not allowed to join. It is timo the Prime Minister and some of his colleagues took a hand to control the Deience Minister, else they will be all in danger of being swept 'by a wave of public indignation into political perdition,—l am, etc., NOT TOO OLD AT FIFTY. December 4.
