resignations were lmfounded.

ese rumors include a report that the Cabinet ls s lit, with some in favor of bringing conscription immediately and some opfised to such a course. Defence lnlster Ralston and Navy Minister Mac- donald are frequently named as pressing for immediate conscription. Some reports go so far as to say these ministers are threatening to resign lf the government does not embark on a conscription policy.

e re rts have become so wldesprea that for a. time Inst night indications were an official statement would be lsued clarify- ing the situation, possibly] by Col. Ralston. However. none ad been made up to noon today. Cabinet met at noon as usual.

Meanwhile the Conservatives are outspoken in forecasting they will demand a. showdown on conscrip- tion ln the House. One spokesman said they are afraid the government will avoid an issue on conscription in the House and bring about com- pulso military service for overseas by or er-ln-councll, if it became necessary.

Conservatives, he said, will fight such a procedure “to the last. ditch" holding it to b0 a negation of Par- llament.

The generally-expected step is for the government to bring in a bill to amend the national resources mobilization act. removing the re- striction that compulsory military service applies‘ only to service in Canada and that men must volun- teel‘ before they can be sent over- seas. If this were done, the govern- ment would be free to enforce con- scription for overseas if and when that step became necesary.

Conservatives will urge that mere. 1y amending the mobilization act would. not be enough, Parliament sho-uld have a. hand in actually bringing in conscription for overseas service.
