Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS The Defence Force has been formed to help maintain law and order, and to render any necessary assistance in protecting those employed on carrying on the essential services of the country, without which the people of the country might starve. The terms of enlistment are for 90 days, or such less period as their services may be required. As stated in the attestation form and in the notice which is handed to the man at the time of his offering to enlist, he will only be required to serve in England, Scotland, or Wales, and statements to the contrary are absolutely without foundation. Special forms of attestation are being used, and I am arranging for copies to be made available in the library for the information of Members.
