COLONEL DAVIES AND THE VOLUNTEER FORCE.
(By Telegraph—Parliamentary /Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, October 17. In the House this afternoon Mr A. W. Hogg (Masterton) gave no'.ice to ask whether the attention of the Minister of Defence had been called to the statement made publicly in Christchurch by Colonel Davies, a paid officer of the Defence Forces, to the effect that the volunteers were weak, and whether the Minister proposed to take action in the matter in view of the unfavourable nature of the allegation, and also as to whether the Minister's attention had been drawn to the public advocacy by Colonel Davies of compulsory military training, a question of State policy, and whether the Minister intended to take disciplinary action in the matter, seeing that the members of the Defence Force were forbidden by the regulations to take any public part in a political agitation?
