LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MR. WEBB AND WAR SERVICE Sir,—lt will be noticed that while the Prime Minister and Minister of Defence both state that Mr. Webb's case has been dealt with, and that he must ho treated like other ordinary men in this matter, the Hon. Mr. Mac Donald infers that the appeal will again bo considered. He statee that ho believes tho board will do . Mr. Webb justice, etc. What docs this mean? Is Mr. Webb to have a fresh appeal? Are tho same tactics to be adopted that have heen successful in the case, of the Marist Brothers, who have: not been called up, although Parliament declined to exempt them? It is a bitter pill for the workers of the country, wlio in thousands support the Labour Party, hut who are patriotic and have borne their full share of the righting in the war, to see one of their representatives in Parliament seeking exemption from the common dutyduty done so well by other memhers like Seddon and Hine and Downie Stewart and Coates. Why should ths workers' representatives . only be exempted? Truly the Labour Party has no luck with its leaders.—l am, etc., ARGUS.
