SECOND DIVISION MEN AND WOMEN. CHAMPION considers that what the Right Hod. Mr. Masscy stated at Belfast should bo carefully cousidered, aB his patriotism hadn't vanished. CANADA states her maximum contribution is fixed, and that her industries and agriculture must be kept going, and Champion is of the opinion that the Canadian Ministry is just as patriotic and far-seeing as our 'own. CHAMPION is strongly opposed to Kaiserism, or one-man power, in any sphere; politically, as the rigour of the law is the height of oppression when interpreted by arrogance. FOR this sane and patriotic advice Champion Bolicits no local or Imperial honours handed out by man, as they are of little value beyond creating a swelling (vide "London Times"), but only asks you to continue ÜBing " CHAMPION" MUSCLE RAISER FLOUR and "STANDARD" OATMEAL ■AND ROLLED OATS, packed to suit the occasion. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING LETTERS CAREFULLY:- ' (Reprints from "Auckland Star," ' June 11 and 13, 1917.) CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND SECOND DIVISION. (To the Editor.) Sir,—l heartily endorse the sentiments expressed in your sub-leader of the 9th inst. It would be most unfair and cruel for any employer to placi\te who ho considered was a non-essential, obviously he wouldn't be employed .unless he was required. I am pleased Mr. T. Peacock, a member of the Chamber, stated such a selection would give offence. The Appeal Board is the proper one to give these decisions. I think the Chamber wanted to elicit what was to be the Dominion's maximum contribution, as no Efficiency Board could advise what should be done without knowing the maximum. The Hon. Mr. Masscy, when speaking at a Mayoral banquet at Belfast, on November 24, 1916 (vide London cables), stated if the Dominion contributed 100,000 men it would be a fair proportion. Sir James Allen, a month later, when speaking at Duncdin, said no Ministerial encouragement had been given to the prevalent idea that 100.000 was to be the Dominion's contribution. Captain Brown, of the Canadian Recruiting Board, when passing through Auckland on his way home (vide "Star," 20th February, 1917), stated that Canada bad promised to raise 500.008 men, but so far only 381,000 had enlisted. Subsequent Canadian cables indicated that over 200,000 single men had'not yet responded. Canada's contribution, on a 10 per cent, basis, would bo about 650.000 men. Australia's position is somewhat similar to Canada's. The Hon. Mr. MacDbnald, when speaking at Christchurch on the 21st March, stated 67,139 hnd gone to the Front and 10,600, including Maoris, wero in camp in Now Zealand, and I think I am safo in saying 6000 have since enlisted, making a total of 85,739 men. The Dominion, on a 10 per cent, basis, requires about 15,005 more, if they can he spared, and this is the question at issue. America has joined' tho Allies and promises to raise an army of 625,000 by October. The foregoing facts reouire careful consideration.—l am. etc., June 9. P. VIRTUE. SECOND DIVISION. (To the Editor.) Sir,—Since writing on the 9th inst. Canada has fixed her maximum contribution at 500,000 men, which was promised during J916. It is apparent only <100,fi00 men have enlisted, as 100,000 urn to bu called up by conscription. Assuming that Canada has a population of say 7,000,000 (though some say it is more), her contribution is a little over 7 per cent. New Zealand's contribution to date is about 8J per cent., with 30,695 more in tho singlo class to call up, yet news from Wellington indicates that tho second class will. bo also called up.—l am, etc June 13, 1917.
