THE CANTEEN.
RESOLUTION OF NEW ZEALAND ALLIANd. By Telegraph— Association, v WELLINGTON, Deceraoer's. Tne executive of the New Zealand Alliance, while not now entering into the discussion of the general subject of compulsory military training, resolved, at a special meeting yesterday, "That inasmuch as the canteen at the milita-y camps serves no useful purpose, but is a source of dangerous temptation to many, aid has frequently bd to scenes of regrettable exces? and disorder, the executive of the Alliance enters its emphatic protest against the inclusion pf canteens for the sale of intoxicating liquors in the Military Bill, which is to come before Parliament during the coming week. It believes that, when parents realise the danger to which their sons will be exposed through the canteen, many will rise in protest and decline the military proposals altogether rather than risk the ruin of their sons. There are fathers who quite approve of the principles ot vol* unteering as such for their sons who will have good reason to oppose the whole system if their bovs are to be exposed to drinking customs which destroy more lives than a foreign foe has ever destroyed."
