New Zealand Premier Details Defence Register Plans
In Wellington on December 29 the Prime Minister said instructions were given to prepare a register of those eligible for general training. The roll would be compiled mainly by area officers and is not expected to take long. He noted the compulsory element was well received but could not specify how far it would be applied to train 39,800 men over five years and said unemployment insurance schemes were hard to justify without a solid basis. He is watching Britain’s efforts on the issue.
