DOMINION DEFENCE
RETURNED SOLDIERS’ CONCLUSION. EFFICIENT SYSTEM ESSENTIAL. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 1. At the Returned Soldiers’ Conference today Mr J. D. Harper, on behalf of the Wellington Association moved; “That this Association considers an efficient defence scheme is essential to New Zealand as part of the Empire.’’ He said he did not think war was done with. The T-eague of Nations had not, achieved all that was expected of it, and in the interests of the future of the country we must be prepared and ready to defend it. At the same time it was the duty of the country to consider an efficient reconstruction scheme which should be possible with the experience gained. There was a League in the country’ now which had been formed for the purpose of urging effective future defence. He did not know whether the Association was prepared to offer its assistance to the Defence League, the constitution of which had been widely published. However, he threw out this as a suggestion. Mr McPherson seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.
