TAKING NO CHANCES
. * DIFFICULT TO GET PERMITS. "The Internal Affairs Department is taking no chances. It is holding on to the manhood of the country." This was the Hon. G. W. .Russell's reply to a question as to the policy being followed iu the issue of permits to leave New Zealand. "No man who is capable of civil service," Mr. Russell continued, "can. bo spared from the. country at the present time, and the fact that a man is unfit for military service does not count with the Internal Affairs Department in deciding tho question of -whether he shall havo a permit or a.passport. On account of tbo depletion of the country for military purposes, ovory man who can do a day's work is now being held in the country."
