Ml]. Cockernm said he had never heard of Mai-Gen. HJJG. Crerar, Chief oi tire General Staff. until he was appointed, except that he was commandant of the Royal Military College,

“I had hoped he would put pep in the department." he said. Biit he would "hat-e to think of the 3rd. Division being put into Greta with the training t has had today."

Complains of Training

Maj. Cockeram said the 4th Divi- sion had no combined training with other units and possibly the third was in the same position. -

“Surely after l3 months cf war we could have had combined train- ing," he said. "We have had nozli- ‘ to fit us for active service."

He said there should be some statement from the Government as to the ultimo? use that was w be made of the th Division, and ex- pressed hope it was not to b2 broken up like the 5m Division in the Great. War.

Maj. Cockeram said it would take six months to equip the armors; division with tanks. There was r.. up-fo-daic equipment for the AILLI» lery. He wondered why the depot.- mcnt had not improved equipmen"

Maj. Cockeram spoke of the mil.» tary trade schools and said mcz; sent to them were returned to their units and nobody knew what to do "with them.

He spoke of east coast defences and said they were using 18-pound- ers from the last war and French 75's. ;

Too many men had been demobil- I feed since toe war started. Maj.‘

Oockeram said. Many cf them could have been used in work.

There was no job in headquarters that could not be filled by a vet- eran of the Great War, he contend- ed. yet there were men there in senior jobs who had no previous active service.

He said the present recruiting campaign would be much more suc- cessful if the campaign had been organized along the lines oi the Victory {nan campaign; and he criticized a paragraph in instruc- tions to recruiting speakers urging them to stress that the fight was for Canada rather than for the Em

Possibly the most interesting display was the modest cdiection of woolen socks. and mitts. the work oi Grade III.

Neatly worked altar linen. hem- stitched and embroidered was the contribution of the pupils of Grade IX. This work showed ex- ceptional neatness. and was great- ly admired by the large number of visitors. The articles. as has been the custom for years. will be serif to Misslonslries in Western Can-

This grade also showed a fine assortment oi silhouettes. drawing in crayon, all neatly executed.

Then the men were recruited and sent. oversees for training; now it was being attempted in Canada. but so for there had not. been time for efficient training.

“We must walk before we run." the Minister said. Basic training had to be completed before unit training was possible.

"1 am not complacent or content about the training. but we have from British officers the highest compliments for the trainln we have accomplished." the M ister said.

It was impossible w have efficient mobilization and training until offi- cers had been trained. Training was being carried out for both offi- cers and non-commissioned officers but it all wok time.

The 3rd Division would leave Canada with as high a degree oi training as any unit that liad ever left the Dominion, and "that is say- ing considerable." the Minister said.
