The Primo Minister said he realized

that 500,000 men was a large force, and he realized further that the national strength oi’ Canada nlust`bc maintained. It was necessary to have regard to the agricultural and indus- trial resources of the country, and the Government would have regard to them. As for recruiting, the response had been good. It was true at” first tho Maritime Provinces and Quebec had been a little slow ill this regard. but from information just received he collld any that thc enlistment, there was ilow ~all that could be desired. Ili this connection hc wished to pay a tribute to the Frencll Canadians fight- ing ill France. .

Sir Ilobcrt then dealt with conscrlp-

The debate was opened by Dr

Alfred Thompson of the Yukon and Dr Poquei; of L’lsiet as seconder, the latter expressing regret at the recent utteranccs_ of Armand Lavcrgnc ill the Quebec Legislature.

Much had been expected froln the

Leader of the Opposition, particularly with regard to the bearing which his speech would have upon the character of the session. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, however, made no mention whatever ol the principal items in thc legisla- tive programme of the Government. The proposed extension of the Parlia-

Sir Wilfrid then expressed the opinion that the announccnlcilt of an increase to llal-f-a-million in the authorized total of Canuda’s overseas force was premature. He thought the llaif-a- million was ll “ large order." He then repeated his objection which he took to the budget speech last session and criticized the Government for com- mandeerlng fifteen million bushels of wheat' withollt. its he alleged, ally dc- nland for it from the Imperial Goverll~ ment.
