Conservatives Critical of Non-war votes

OTTAWA. June 13—(CP)—Con- servatlve ranks fired an almost continuous barrage of criticism at Defence Department, administration in the House of commons today as Defence Minister Ralston put through the non-war estimates of his department.

The estimates, amountl to $227,325. were passed shortly be- fore the six o'clock adjournment.

Highlight of the discussion was the urging from Dr. H. A. Bruce (Con. Toronto-Perkdale) for a selective draft system of obtaining manpower both for war and in- dustrial needs.

Col. Ralston suggested the Tor- onto member was making a mis- take and performing no useful service in introducing a “discor- flout“ iioic at s time when unit-y was desirable.

Canada was only now embarked upon the first lcal recruiting cam- paign of the war. Col. Rnlston said. llnd he urged all members m help him in his heavy task of raising inc-n and carrying on the war ei- lori, of the country.

“I ask my honorable friend, in all seriousness as a citizen of Can- ada, why raise this question of

conscription at this time?" Col.

Ralston exclaimed.

"He. knows that in 1917 it split Canada from top to bottom-and we had at that time no such sit. action as we have in Canada. to-

France “solid” For lie Caulle; Nazi morale low

DONDON. June 13 — (OP)- France is practically "solid" for Gcn. Charles De Gaulle. leader of the Free French movement. sus- pends judgment on Marshal Pe- tiiin, Chief of State. and "thor- oughly det-ests" such men as Ad- miral Dorian and Pierre Laval, sc- cording to an English business man who has just escaped.

The informant, who spent many years in Canada, talked about France to The Canadian Press, only on the promise that his name would be omitted lest the Gestapo take revenge for his escape on his colleagues and employees. He brought a report of sullen anti- German feeling in occupied Francs where he had worked, details of food shortage and sabotage.

Asserting morale of the Ger- man troops was low due to failure to obtain a quick victory over Britain. he said officers and men "were cocky last July but subdued now." He knew of cases of suicide because of this low morale and said part of it was due to the troops’ families in Germany being killed in British air raids.

OTTAWA. June 13—(CP)-—Ten visiting newspsperwomen from the United States were bold today by Prime Minister Mackenzie King that he believes Canada can ob- tain by voluntary enlistment all the manpower she needs for her armed forces and that there Will be "no coercion." V

Mr. King said he had received a letter from President Rtoosevelt saying he hoped to come o Can- ada. later in the summer. A visit to Ottawa by the President. ten- tatively set at Easter for mid-Moi. was postponed.
