If that were the case all our anxiety would be at on end.

"Every possible economy in the employment of fit general service personnel in home establishments has new been made or is in pro- cess. and the men so made avail- able are included in the figures of planned dispatches."

They are out of the way. The next sentence is:

"If we are to dispatch any con- siderable body of these men in time to ease the anxieties in the situa- tion, arrangements ,for shipping must be initiated forthwith.”

All Hypothetical

There is not one word from start to finish to indicate that r one of these men is going; all hypothetical. New I want to‘ ask about the shipping arrange-._ _ ments.

Mr. McNaughton: If there is any doubt, due to my lack of mast.- ery of phraseolcgy, I say now to the hon. member that these addi- tional shipments of 5.000 in the month of December. 5.000 1n the i month of January and 2.000 in each the three succeeding months, subject to some variation one way or another, to fit in with the ships as we can get them-I say to him that these numbers of trained infantry will go.

Mr. Ralston: When would the first 5,000 arrive in the blttlt! trace? That is the 11110011005

That number is 5.000. Then, tak- ing the point in the P0018. lhfle should be another 2,500 available in February, another 2.500 avail- able in March, 3.000 available in April and 3.000 available in May.
