Bailing Up Peter

The second motion (moved Milburn, seconded Evison) was then formally moved. Mr. Piper amended it to read thus: "That this association would be strongly opposed to the conscription of 18-year-olds for military purposes as suggested by the Minister of Defence in the House of Representatives on July the 14th last, as such conscription would be a serious and unwarranted handicap to the education and technical training of the youth of New Zealand. This general meeting, therefore, instructs the Secretary of the Association to write to the Prime Minister requesting that he receive a deputation consisting of the four returned servicemen members of the Students' Association Executive, to ascertain the Government's policy in the matter."

Mr. Piper said that we must bail up Mr. Fraser (and milk him—interjection) and receive a definite assurance that conscription would not be introduced.

The amended motion was carried and the meeting was closed at 10.20.
