THE LAST WAR
ATTITUDE TO CONSCRIPTION GOVERNMENT PARTY CRITICISED tFROM Our Parliamentary Reforteki WELLINGTON, Oct. 4. The attitude of some members of the partv which is now the Government toward conscription in the last war was referred to by Mr H. G. Dickie (Opposition. Patea") in the debate on war finance in the House to-day. In view of the fact that a great number of members on the Government side opposed service in the last war on the ground that they wanted the conscription of wealth, said Mr Dickie, it was interesting to hear the statement by the Minister of Finance. Mr Nash, that the conscription of wealth now was nothing like so drastic as that put into effect in the last war. " It looks as though those gentlemen who in ,the last war were running round trying to put a spoke in the wheel and singing 'The Red Flag.' will have to look around for another excuse," Mr Dickie said.
