DEFAULTER ASKS R.S.A. FOR IMPROVED CONDITIONS When commenting on what he termed the plethora of associations formed as a result of the two world wars, at the annual meeting of the Oamaru Returned Services’ Association, Mr G. P. Curtis® jocularly remarked that there might even be a defaulters’ association. Coincidentally, the Oamaru Returned Services’ Association executive, at its monthly meeting, received a letter from a conscientious objector, qt present in a- defaulters’ camp, asking the association to support his request for improvements in conditions at detention camps and also his contention that defaulters should be released for work in essential industries.
The writer prefaced his requests with the information that a “glamorous write-up” published in the newspapers did not indicate the actual conditions, adding that buildings allegedly costing £25,000 did not'necessarily mean good conditions.”.
‘.‘We are not concerned with conscientious objectors,” said Mr-N. IT. ■Oolquhoun, and the letter was received.
