It was stated that there are 2001) shirkers still at large in the Dominion. The president said the Prime Minister's recent announcement meant that the 1000 remaining objectors would be deprived of their civil rights. Captain T. E. Seddon, M.P., said there would be civil prosecutions. Mr. E. Leadley (Christcluirch): ''That means nothing." He moved that the executive of the association should concentrate in seeing that the men who had shirked should not have their civil rights restored. The President: "That, is the danger. Wc do not. want lo see these men back in any political power."
