Military Training for Fiji
p. 11 · Read in the full issue
THREE months’ continuous training for batches of 40 men drawn from terri torials is proposed in a bill which the Fiji Legislative Council will consider soon. Some New Zealand Regular Force officers and instructors have already ar rived in Fiji on loan.
The intake of men for training is restricted to 40 because of limited ac commodation. It is proposed to restrict groups to men from the same locality and of the same race.
The manning of defences for Suva is to have priority, and first recruits will be enlisted there.
The Governor of Fiji has appealed to employers to co-operate by granting men leave and keeping employment open until the training period ends.
