Ward, Minister of Defence, to Mr Latchmore, Ohura, explains itself: —"In reply to your telegram the position is this, that proposals will be laid before Parliament this session to bring the new scheme into line with Lprd Kitchener's recommendation?, On the measure becoming law active operation will commence to enrol Territorials and otherwise bring the defence scheme into full swing.
