A remit from tho Greymouth branch of' the R.S.A. dealing with conscientious objectors was introduced on Wednesday at Christchurch, at the district annual conference of that body by Mr A. 11. McKano, who represented the Greymouth and the Hokitika branches. The remit was as follows:—“This Association regrets the action of tlio N'.Z. R.S.A. Headquarters in asking all Rugby Unions to expel conscientious objectors from their ranks, as we are of the opinion that no good can conic from it, and, further, we submit that it is outside the constitution ol the R.S.A. to interfere in such matters.” Mr McKano said that be did not wish it to he thought that ho ,vas putting up a light for conscientious objectors. The position, however, was that the people bad already' been punished by being deprived of civic rights for tho* attitude taken up by them in regard to the war. The chairman (Milt fit. Bell) said that the remit was not in order, as headquarters bad not passed any such motion in regard to_ conscientious objectors only. Mr MoKane: A technical point. Tho chairman: It is not correct, in fact. Mr McKano went on to state that the question was one which interfered with returned soldieis, some of whom sympathised with conscientious objectors. The remit was with-drawn.
