WAR LOAN SHRINKAGE.
SIP D. MACLEAN ON THE RISTAL
OF A THIGIE AGE REÜTE,
Everything that had happened since the lebate on the last Military Service Bill,said Sir Donald Maciean, speaking at Peebles, had confirmed the view he then expressed that it was a profound mistake to extend the military age beyond 47.
The military value of men above that age was comparatively trivial, but the disturbance and disorganisation of civilian national activitias had been incalculable, and one of its first obvious results was the shrinkage of the weekly contributions to the War Loan. Itras useless to attribute that to pacifist propaganda.
Tribunal experience convinced bim that businesses were in a state of complete uncertainty, and the inevitable tendency was to retention rather than investment. He strongly deprecated, in the interests of the present and the fature of the State, the proposals to sweep further large numbers of the male teachers into the Army.
