EFFICIENT YOUTH
COMPULSION ADVOCATED “ TIME FRITTERED AWAY ” (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday “ It is a shame to see the youth of New Zealand frittering away their time, leaning up against verandah posts, when the country is at war,” said Mr R. H. Nimmo, speaker at the Wellington Returned Soldiers’ Association monthly luncheon.
Describing what Hitler had done for the youth of Germany, he said the Fuehrer had given a lead to the world. He had built up a marvellous organisation —lacking, however, the essential foundation of religion. It was useless, he said, to expect voluntary systems to succeed with modem youth in this country or any country. There was only one thing for youth —compulsion. Mr Nimmo appealed to the association to start a campaign to harness the youth of the country—if not for the sake of their country, at any rate in their own interests. Since they would have to serve, let them serve efficiently.
