PEACE NOT YET.
NECESSITY FOR TRAINING. CURTAILMENT OF THE SCHEME. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. During a war memorial ceremony at Springston, Sir R. Heaton Rhodes (Minister of Defence) said that while great things might be hoped for from the League of Nations and the Washington Conference, the day of world peace was not here yet. The Dominion’s own defence system had been the means of laying the foundation of the troops who left for Samoa and Egypt in the early stages of the war, but unfortunately the scheme had had to be curtailed at present owing to the financial situation. It was gratifying to know employers were still willing to meet, the Defence Department in the direction of allowing their employees to be trained. The defence system would be a necessity until world peace was brought about.
