UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING.
The attitude oi Parliament in regard to the Defence Act, 1909, which it is proposed to amend this session, is being watched very closely by the public.' The Amendment Bill has been Circulated, and will
probibly be introduced this week, i < j What mo3t concerns the public will . i be the action of Parliament in reppect 1 ''to universal training, Will this be modified so that only a quota ol onethird between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be brought into training, or will universal training between the ages of eighteen and twenly-;ine hi in&isterl upin? This is an important poi;,t which Parliament will have to decide; Another uhase of the suiject which is r.ot less important is whether Lord Kitchener's scheme will be carried out in its entirety, particularly in regard to appointments tc the Staff Corps of Officers. There is a general feeling in the community tint if our defence | system is to b= controlled by regulation instead of by statute law, things will very soon be in a topsey-lurvey condition.
