The Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1907. SUNDAY VOLUNTEER PARADES.
The Hon. Mr McNab, Acting Minister for Defence, has replied to the letter from the Feilding clergymen, drawing his attention to the fact that by a recent volunteer regulation a Sunday parade could be counted for a daylight parade, or personal payment should be made to volunteers attending. The Hon. Mr McNab says;—“l have ascertained that the Manawatu and Feilding Mounted Rifles were paraded for inspection by the Inspector-General on Sunday, the 28th ult. lam of opinion, and my colleagues are at one with me in the view I take, that parades of volunteers ought not to be held for the purpose of earning capitation, nor for earning payment of any moneys otherwise payable to volunteers for parading on Sunday, unless the Sunday should intervene while'the company is in camp. I am therefore having the regulation altered so that there will not be a repetition of the circustances which brought about the complaint.” The ministers should feel satisfied with the result of their protest, which will have a ftr-reaching effect.
