DEFENCE EXPENDITURE,
GENERAL RUSSELL’S WARNING. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, June 12. A serious warning’was given respecting the cuting down of the defence expenditure by General. Russell, speaking at the returned soldiers’ gathering on Saturday night. General Russell said one could not but feel that, in the face of economic difficulties, the country was cutting insurance so -far as defence is concerned down, to the absolute, if not below the absolute minimum. At no distant date it would be necessary to reconsider whether the youth of this country was getting that instruction which would make it safe for them to take up the work of fighting. “ I don’t and you don’t want to see your younger brothers, or it may be your sons, going into a show with just that small amount of instruction and knowledge which will mean that they are advancing into what may prove to be butchery.”
