..tMinister of National Defense, on lthe subject of overseas reinforce- ments. from the l-Iansard report iof the House of Commons debates, ...Nov. 24. Continued from yester- day's Guardian:

Mr. Ralston: There are twi O! three questions I have been try- One was in reference [to a. remark made by General Mt‘- INeughton with regard to the order in council when he first spoke. I

that the order in council covered .iall the men in the N. R. M. A. I do not think he was putting a egal interpretation on the order

what led him to make that state- ment and just what ' mind. Did I misunderstand h" Mr. McNaughton: The anstv yes. to the best of my legal knowl- edge, although I do not claim to |be an expert. - Mr. Balaton: I want to under- ystand Just what the situation is. ‘because, as I understand the 0rd. ter in council, it covers only N. R. M. A. to the numbers approved by the governor in council. It covers only such members of the N. R. M. A. as are specified and approv- ed by the governor in council. 1t ,does not cover all the N. R. M. A. There is no action with regard to any of the N. R. M. A. except the 16.000. asvI understand it. It does say that if further number of the . R. M. A. are specified by the governor in council and approved by them. then the minister may Yeqilire them to serve. But there is |nn action taken with regard to the N. R. M. A. beyond the 16,000 men- tioned in this order in COllnCll

The Point

Mr. Mackenzie King: 1| not the point this? The order in coin-tell is broad enough to cover all N, M. A, and the minister 1.5 DOW given by the order in council the rlghtto deal with the‘ numbers mentioned there and to deal with further numbers subject to he agproval of the governor in con»- c

Mr. Ralston: ‘I say that that power always existed under the need an order _ to authorize the gov- ernor in council to approve the numbers. That power has always been there. The only action which was taken in the order in council is the approval by the governor lri council of N. R. M. A. person- .ne1 to the number of 16.000 who lmay from time to time ltercaftev be required for training. service or duty within the United Kingdom or IIIVEUTODGBD or Mediterranean operational theatres. That is all that the order in council does as I understand it. I do not want m argue a legal question. but I thought from a remark made by General McNaughton that he was misapprehending the terms of the order. or that there was something ‘in it perhaps that I had missed. | Just one thing more. The stig- gestlun was made I the other side of the House .h.it all rehabilitation benefits should be extended to the men called up under this order as are extended to ‘general service personnel. I won- der if that is quite right. when tle men under this order are required to serve only in the United King- figljLgiltdnEiiropcainaiid Mediter
