Recruiting for the Volunteers had improved to a
slight extent. It was up to date decidedly better than last year. It remained for Members of the Committee and others to continue
their efforts to make volunteering more popular.
The Minutes of the Meeting of the Sub-Committee
dated the 29th June, at which a proposal in the form of a re- solution had been brought forward to compel youths of British parentage between the ages of 18 and 20 years to undergo a cer- tain military training, had been circulated to members and he wished the Committee now to take the resolution into consideration. It had been carried by a majority of the Sub-Committee. But it had been opposed by a weighty and influential minority. He under- stood, however, that some of those who opposed it did so tem- porarily till it could be seen what the result of the appeal to

appeal, while not altogether unsatisfactory, could not be re- garded as wholly satisfactory. They would be justified, therefore,
taking the itap indicated in the solutin, the more so as it would not be open to the same objection that had been urged against the larger scheme by some large employers of labour viz: that compulsory training of their skilled employees would unduly interfere with the industries which they managed. The youths affected by the resolution were few in number and of an age at which they could scarcely be said to have settled down to their life's work. He did not think it was unreasonable to compel them at that age to undergo military training, nor did he think that the time they would be obliged to give to such training would interfere with their employers interests.
Mr.M.Stewart opposed the proposal. He reminded the chairman that at the first meeting held at Government House Sir F.Lugard had promised to ascertain in England whether the Secretary of State for the Colonies would sanction legislation for compulsory Military training and he asked whether Sir F. Lugard had obtained the views of the Secretary of State on the
subject.
