With reference to the placing of tho Defence Bill on the Statute Book, the Auckland “Star’’ observes:—“The rapidity -with which a great principle niav become popularised and find its expression in law in a young country has never been demonstrated in a more remarkable way than in the oassage of tins Bill through the House'of Representatives, by a majority of 65 to 3. In Great Britain, where the threatening shadow of vast Continental armies renders universal service a more urgent national need, its advocates encounter a stubborn opposition which mav prevent its adoption until some imminent peril calls into birth by panic a system of general conscription.’’
