REPATRIATION.
EVERY MAN IN HIS TURN. Wellington, Tuesday An impression has arisen that it is only necessary to yiake special application for the return of a soldier, to secure his repatriation out of his turn. There are some classes of men who will come back out of the strict order These were enumerated recently by the Minister of Defence. But with these exceptions, there are serious objections to bring back any man out of his turn, as not only docs such a course prevent some other man from being returned who, from long service ought to be returr.ed, but it also causes dissatisfaction in the group of men from which ho has been picked out for return in priority to the rest
The policy or the Government is to bring back first those men who have had the longest service, and that no man can b? specially returned out of that order unless specific reasons are shown arising out of death or seriomt illness, or other calamity—reasons which had not been in existence when the man joined the service or left New Zealand. The reasons, in brief, should be such that they had existed before the man left this country, he would have been able to secure release from service bv appealing to a Military Service Board
