IS THERE GREASING OF THE PALM?
Despite a number of official contradictions, there is still a lively feeling abroad throughout the Dominion that some of those in authority under our Defence Department are making distinctions —and it is always the cases of men with money that are mentioned in regard to evading service. We have noticed the same complaint ventilated in London papers regarding venial militarists . It is the way of some men in responsible positions to yield to well applied temptation. This only makes it more imperative on the part of the man higher up that he should keep his department clean, making examples of the tempter and the tempted. A case that calls for investigation is that a well-to-do farmer in the Lower Wairarapa who is said to be boasting that he paid a good round sum to get his only son back from England.—Fielding Star.
