Mr. Ross (Sourisi: These are matters the public are concerned about, and I think they should be cleared up.

of a Canadian corps and a number of Canadian divisions. In that army there is one British corps and possibly more, and they have their own British divisions. Then there are Polish divisions as well as other divisions which tzu to make up that first army. That army is made up of units and for- mations from other commonwcruths in addition to our own units. Each of those commonwealths has i‘s own casualties. Canada reinforces liar cwn and always has. Canadian " ' ' rcements Mi". Ross (Sourisi: The Canad- ian units are reinforced entirely

by our own men? Absolutely.

Mr. McNaughton: and always have been.

Mr. Ross (Souris): There has been a lot of discussion about that point. Mr. McNaughton: I was so much concerned about this the other day that I asked our public relations officer to issue a press statement which would be gener- ally descriptive of what was go- ing on and which would be pure- lv for public information.

Mr. Ross tSouris): You have been referred to by the Prime Vlinistci" as the builder and the first commander of the Canadian fllTflY.

Mr. McNaughton: I was ‘the first commander of the first Can- adian army.

Mr. Ross (Sourisl: You never had any doubt at any time that the army was over-expanded and that there would be any difficulty iii reinforcing 1t?

Mr. McNaughton: The arm: was designed on the basis of ch- during in a war of long duration.

Mr. Ross iSouris): been considerable discussion today about reinforcement pools over- seas. I would have Judged from past experience that one of the best methods of reinforcement would have been to use w-iat night be termed ad hoe troops. for instance, pioneer troops. for- estry troops. and so on. Can you give us the percentage of relu- forcemcnts overseas that be composed of ‘hose troops?

Mr. McNaughton: Again I must say that I am not skilfui in de- ciding what figures should bc giv- en out and what should not be given out. Would it be possible for me to give that information when I give the other figures?

Mr. Ross tsouris): That will be satisfactory, although you m‘ght be dble to give it approximate» If those pioneer troops were re- mustcrcd, how long would it take to train thcni properly as infantry ready to go into action?

Mr. McNaughton: They would never he up to the lnfatiti"; cvel because they are in the pioneers owing to their being lo\v in certain pulhems figures.
