WASTE OF TRAINED MEN.
We have urged before that some method should be adopted by the Defence authorities of utilising the services of these ex-volunteers, who, if they are not as young as they once were, are as physically capable of putting in a long day's field work as many ot the present members of the volunteer force, says the Christchurch "Press." We Relieve firmly that the Dominion must come to a system of compulsory universal training, but we would leave a way open for those who would give voluntary service if they were afforded the opportunity, and the best way would be a system which would link with each existing volunteer corps a reserve corps open to all its ex-members under middle age, and of reasonable physical efficiency.
