Dalston Replies To Criticism Df Draft Policy

OTTAWA. July 10 - (OP) — Defence Minister Ralston today declared he has no intention of re- leasing fit men from the army ivliilc great battles are in prospect and at the same time affirmed his previously-expressed confidence in the system of voluntary recruiting for overseas service.

Replying to the double-barreled demand of Progressive Conserva- tive speakers in the budget debate that troops called up compulsorily be either sent overseas or dis- charged from the army to fill jobs on farms and in industry the Min- ister quoted figures showing a rec- ent speedup in recruiting and the disposition of home defence troops. These troops were no: ‘sitting around doing nothing." but engaged in essential duties.

80,000 Fit For Overseas

On the reinforcement situation Col. Ralston’ told the House that recent battle casualties, lighter than expected, had been quickly replaced from the reinforcement pool overseas, that there now are

, or more general service troops in Canada fit for overseas service. enough to meet all quotas for overseas movements up to the end of this year.

Of some 73.000 home defence troops in Canada, Newfoundland, Labrador, and the West Indies, 50,- 000 are of suitable age and cate- gory for overseas service and could be sent there if the need arises.

“The member for Dufferin- Slmcoe (l-Ion. Earl Rowe, chief op- position financial critic) talked about disbanding these N. R. M. A. men and sending them back in the farm and industry," said Col. Ralston. "Mny f say to‘ him that I have no idea of dlsbanding or discharging physically fit men ‘from the Canadian Army, either N. R. M. A. men or general service personnel. while our main forces are engaged in the greatest con- flict of all time."

Charges Inequality

Soon after Col. Ralston finished John Diefenbaker (PC-Lake Cen- tre) returned to the attack with a charge that call-up regulations were enforced incquitably as bee- tween different parts of Canada. He quoted figures to show that more men were called up in Mili- tary District No. 3 (Kingston) than

General Praises Canadian Soldiers

6,000 Enlist Per Month 4 An average of more than 6,800 men per month had enlisted since February, 194,2 and the Minister said this showed that his faith in the voluntary system was justi- fied. Compulsion applied at this stage of the war would create feel- ing between volunteers and draft- ees overseas and might weaken the comradesliip and mutual trust which prevailed in the overseas army.

"1 think it almost goes without saying," he said, “that any soldier on a dangerous task would prefer to have as comrades those who, like himself, have volunteered to serve."

Here is the way Col. Balaton broke down the number of men called up who have not volun- teered for overseas service:

35,000 on operational duties on the coasts. on anti-sabotage work in the interior of Canada, in Lab- rador, Newfoundland and the West Indies; 13,000 non-operation- al troops in servicing establish. ments. doing work necessary w the iii-my at home and overseas: 14.000 in training centres; 4,000 in depots awaiting classification or posting; 7.000 on leave or assign- ed duty at civilian work.
