The Manawatu Herald. Tuesday, February 29, 1915. RECRUITING.
Refries received from local governing bodies to the Recruiting Board’s appeal for assistance in the recruiting scheme are not satisfactory. While local bodies will, as in the past, do all possible to assist the Government to fulfil its obligations to the Imperial authorities, it is becoming daily more apparent that their efforts will not avail much- The Government should not place the onus of keeping up reinforcements on public bodies. The persuasive eloquence of Councillors will be resented by those who have been hanging back all along without reasonable excuse, and nothing, save compulsion, will shift them. We cannot help thinking that the operations ot the Recruiting Board is in the nature of an experiment. Let the Government put the pensions on a sound footing and then enforce compulsion, wherein there is no differentiation of treatment and no exemptions of any kind, with the exception of physical incapacity.
