COMPULSORY TRAINING.
DISCUSSED AT THE LABOR CONFERENCE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Yesterday. One of the most interesting questions that will come before the Labor Party at its annual conference will be military training. To-day the matter was introduced by a letter from the National Peaee and Anti-Militarist Council of Christchurch, stating that the unrest, prevailing everywhere on account of the attempted militarisation of the Dominion through the operation of the Defence Act was doubtless apparent to all members of the conference. Several resolutions were forwarded by the Christchurch Council—(l) proclaiming sincere sympathy with those youths and young men who have resented the encroachment on their liberties; (2) declaring that the socalled Defence Act is not in the interests of peace, but leads towards war; and (3) that.no such extraordinary measures as are embodied in the compulsory clauses are necessary in New Zealand. A motion that the letter should be dealt with at once was lost by 12 votes to 11. The .subject will come before the conference at a later date.
