Democratic Soldier Labour Party and THE WAR (NOTE -It will be seen that there is no reference to the future 0f the Division. This will be referred to in Candidates' speeches ) THE WAR Democratic Labour stands for complete vic- tory for the democratic way of life over Fascism and Nazism , for an economic a8 well 4s a voting democracy We assert that the defeat of the enemy is not victory. Victory for men who fight End for nations which endure can only be won by the establishment of 4 new world order in which the human family has peace without a world war every 20 years, and wherein leisure, education, the enjoyment of prosperity made possible by the mass prO- duction age in which we live, is brought with- in reach of all. MANPOWER REVISION Democratic Labour asserts that New Zea- land' s military commitment embarked upon by Labour and supported by the Nationalist Party imposes too heavy a tax on our man- power We do not believe it possible to main- tain divisions in action in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific at the same time while maintaining essentials of life for our people and for troops based on New Zealand Having our existence in the Pacific, we will not be able to contract out of che Pacific war until the conflict ends. We have not been in favour of sending reinforcements to the Middle East for over a year indeed, Mr. Lee was opposed to conscription for other than the Pacific zone in 1940. Only in such 9 way can we maintain the industrial manpower reserve necessary to avoid economic collapse; It becomes obvious that if we are to main- tain our present war commitment in all theatres, it will be necessary to reduce the age for overseas service to 18 or 19 and prob- ably to raise the overseas age at the other end, with a complete breakdown of our social and family life_ Democratic Labour therefore stands for 8 (1) A realistic revision of our manpower commitmenta (2) No conscription for overseas below the age of 21. (3) Opportunity for 18-year-olds and 19- year-olds to complete education and training courses (4) No overseas service for parents of large families.
