Thoughts For The Times.
Voluntary v. Compulsion. Between the active defence of the AlI lied cause in the war and the erection of a memorial to the men who fell there are differences so profound that the policy applicable in the first ease is wholly inapplicable in the second case. If ai memorial eoukl be erected only through a forced levy, it would he far better to erect no memorial at all, and to allow the absence of a memorial to he the measure of tho people’s want of proper feeing. We are confident, however, that the desire for a memorial is so general that if the business is gone about properly there will he no difficulty in securing tho necessary funds by voluntary subscriptions. At any rate, the idea of compulsion cannot be entertained.— Christchurch Press.
