Compulsory Training
certain amount of resentment has
been expressed lately in the correspondence. columns against Government's decision to introduce compulsory training service for British Bubjects realdent in the Colony. Some correspondents appear, to regard the proposed legislation as an encroach ment on inviolable personal freedom, and it has even been suggested that nothing was mentioned about compul- sory service when the Registration of British Subjects Emergency Regula tlona were gazetted last January. Theoretically it can be admitted that compulsion of any nature is an affront to. Individual freedom, but compulsory service. in national interests has today become a normal procedure. Hongkong, it is true, does not face any immediate or even discernible emergency, but Government's regulations have been prompted by the admonition, Hope for the best, and prepare for the worst." It is this basic policy which Govern ment belleves justifies the January emergency regulations and their im plementation by means of a call-up. when the necessary legislation has been. approved. Under the emergency regula- tions, Government is most emphatically entitled to apply conscription. Provi- slon for this was made at the outset and, it can be recalled, the official ex-, planation of the now-regulations made specific reference to compulsory national service. It cannot fairly be sold that Government la pushing forward legislation for which no due notice has been given. It was stated In January last that Government did not intend to apply any immediate -up, and it was then hoped that, because the Intro ion of the remiations: ere would be

Government insists that it is wiser to be fully prepared for any eventuality than to wait for a crisis to arise; and then attempt to handle the army of man who would be required to perform Bortices best suited to their abilities and the requirements of the day. If the wisdom of this proposition is abi cepted, a compulsory call-up to make good the deficiency in volunteering be comes reasonable and sensible. The gradual call-up envisaged by Govern ment is not mobilisation. It has been carefully explained that the Authorities wish to see British subjects in Hong- kong properly trained for any tasks that would arise in the event of a crisis. The Governor's explanation', 'a' fortnight ago was. that Government desired to fit as many, square pegs into square holes and not to be confronted with a situation where jobs were being done by wrongly qualified personnel simply because there had been no pre- parative organising. Government's chief duty to those citizens who will In due course be liable to call-up is to see there are no Invidious distinctions; to bring commonsense to bear in its most effective manner: when directing personnel to the various auxiliaries and essential services; to avold redundancy and, as far as possible, hardship. And when the proposed conscription legisla tfon has become law, Governmont, must- take the community, into its confidence, fully explaining how it is proposed to apply the call-up.
