WAR SERVICE
POSITION OF AUSTRALIANS IN NEW ZEALAND. FEDERAL ACTION UNLIKELY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 9 a.m.) CANBERRA, This Day. It was ascertained that the Federal Government is unlikely to take any action in regard to Australian workmen in New Zealand. The attitude of Federal Ministers is that nothing should be done which would be likely to weaken New Zealand’s war effort. Appeals against the enrolment for military service of the men in question were macle on the grounds that they were in New Zealand for a limited period and for a specific purpose. CONSIDERATION PROMISED. CANBERRA. November 18. The Prime Minister, Mr, Menzies, today said he would consider requests from Australian skilled workers in New Zealand that he should ask the New Zealand Government to allow them to return to Australia. It was stated at Canberra that some of those who had accepted the invitation of the Dominion Government to work there were now liable to conscription.
