MILITARY TRAINING.
VIEWS OP FARMERS. By Teleerapli.—Press Association. 6 Wellington, July 20. The question of compulsory military training was considered by the New Zealand Farmers' Union Conference today. On behalf of the Auckland Union, Mr. C. K. Wilson moved: "That the principle of compulsory military training under the Education Department be affirmed." Mr. G. P. Johnston, of Gore, seconded. Mr. Malcolm, M.P., held that a military system in peace time was out of place. He thought we could get better results under the Education Department at a cost of practically nothing compared with the £750,000 a year advocated by General Russell. Mr. Wilson, replying to various arguments for and against the motion, maintained that the Territorial system had been a hopeless failure.
The motion was carried on the voices by a substantial majority.
