The Conscientious Objector should have the same rights and privileges of exemption in New Zealand as in Britain, and no doubt will be accorded same. While we can protect him from military service, only the man in uniform can protect him against Hitlerism. I cannot work up any great nation over the imprisonment of anyone engaged in peace activity at a moment like this, when millions are being killed in Europe trying to resist [unclear: Fascim], other men can trench, and if men risk life to destroy Fascism, other men can put up with the difficulties associated with their type of propaganda. War is atrocity. Fascism is a [unclear: greater] atrocity. I'll give the genuine C.O. exemption from both.
