McNaughton Statements

Discussed By Members l- In House of Commons i

Excerpts from the cxamlna.lnii,l would say-

of General A. G. L. McNaughton. Mr. Hanson tYork-Suhbury):

Minister of National Defense, on I rise to a point of order. We are

the subject oi overseas reinforee- questioning General McNaughton

ments. from the I-Iansard renort lhere and my question is directed

of the House oi Commons debates, t0 hlm- I W811! 8n Built?" 11'0"‘

Nov. 24. Continued from vester- him

day's Guardian:

, Ml‘. Caldwell: Are these men to be volunteers or are they men who will be taken out of N. R. M. A31

As from yesterday, when this ord-

er in council went liito effect. will

the voluntary system be con- ‘tinued, or will there still be N.

R. M. S. men shifted to the con-

centration point ready for over-

seas? Ii’ we are sending over 16.-

000 under the conditions indicated. R000 partly trained at the present ;tim_e. and who will be fully train- ied in due course, 1S it not a iairlv good bet that they ivlll all volun- teer before they go over? In other iwords. what you are doing lr. forcing the voluntary system on {men who are actually called foi- compulsory service. That means seems to some coercion. coercion being that they will prn- ceed overseas cither as conscripts as volunteers. and they have

choice right up to the moment they leave as to ivhich they will be. This is a strange way of gcln about the obtaining oi the 16.000 men. I do not know where this is landing tlie House or the Govern- ment. and ii we oregto have coni- pulsion iii tlie sending of men overseas I cannot understand why. tlie government does not go 'l1c, whole way. Where you have l6.f‘0-'\ who know they are going oversees and who are told that they mav sliil become volunteers. vcu coerce them into being volunteers. I am not yet clear as to whether the 16.000 who arc going are to be inen in the numbers of whom are in- cluded those who have already been told that they are golnr from general service. I am not clear on that point, and I believe some. other members are in the same position. With regard to the oth- er polnt. it strikes me as quite evi- dent that men are going to be coerced into volunteering. and that is wrong. Let us be clear about what we are doing.

Mr. McNaughton: May I lillswpi‘ first tlic hon. gentleman's second question in which he asks wheth- er the l6,000 are included in those now going over. or are additional.

. MacKenzic (Vancouver Cen- tre): I have been responsible for the preparation of the rehabilita- tion legislation for the last five years. I am conversant with it and I should have tiie right to answer any question directed to the sub- ject of rehabilitation

Presses Queatlon

Mr. Hanson iYork-Sunburyi: i stand by my point of order. asked General McNaughton a question with respect to directions liven through the Department of National Defence to officers com- manding. and irrespective of what the legislation is, or of any inin- istcr in charge oi it, I want to know whether the information I have is correct. i believe it ls.

Mr. MacKenzie ivancouver Cni- trel: It is not correct.

Mr. liarsun IYork-Suiibu It is being stated in the province of New Brunswick that these men are to be interviewed by the oi- ficer commanding in every unit and he is to tell them that if they do not volunteer they will not gel anv rehabilitation. I will not be howled down by any flannel- moutlis or by anybody else.

Mr. Speaker: On point of ord- ci. the hon. member for York- Sunbuiy <Mr. Hanson) asked a ‘question of General McNaughton and the lvijiiister of Veterans‘ Af- fairs 1M1‘. Mackenzie: proposes to answer. In tii course of this whole discussion yesterday and to- day there have been questions asked oi General McNaughton with which naturally he waws not conversant and they have been answered by the Prime Iiiinister and others. I see no objection to an answer being given to satisfy the questioner with the true facts of the case if they lie with- in the office of the department of the niinLster who now proposes to answer

Mr. Hanson iYork-Suiibuvy): With great respect, Mr. Speaker. General McNaughton has not said that he is not in a P05111031 to ans- wer. If he says he s not in a posi-

Mr. McNaughton: No. s Hanson. iYork-Sunburvl: That is the information I have. that orders went out from your d0- partnicnt to the D.O.C. cf every - district. that the commanding ii- ficer of every unit shall interview personally, not through _N.C.O.‘s or otherwiwsc and tell them among other things that if they do not volunteer there will be no rehabilitation grant.

north of the town and occupied

town oi Russl, the Canucks established a bridge-head

tion to answer. or if he says that the instructions were not sent nut. that ,ls a complete answer to my question. I WJllt the iniormatieni I want it from General "Mr- Naughton because it is pertinent to officers oi his department, no‘. to the rehabilitation department. I am told that the D.O.C. office in Saint John has sent out instrur- tions to commanding officers of every unit in New Brunswick that they are to interview these men personally. ask them to go volun- tarily, and if they do not go voiun- tarlly the officers are to tell them that they are not to get any re- habilitation grants. Surely that. is within the purview of General McNaughton as Minister of Nat- ional Defence. I leave myself in the Judgment of the country. Tho countrv wants to know about tlva.

Speaker's Ruling

Mr. Speaker: The lion. member has raised n question with regard to the rights of any member in this House to answer questions. Yesterday questions were asked which the former Minister oi Na-

PfLDOk to reply to because he ivas conversant with ilicni. I could not cleny the right oi any ‘non. mem- ber of the Housc to replv to any question. If General McNaughton wishes to reply he may do so; but if any other hon. member who has an answer to the question wishes to give thc answer he may do so.

Mr. Hanson tYork-Sunburvl 1 How could any minister other than the Minister of National

Defence answer with respect-- Mr. Speaker: I do not know how. Mr. Hanson iYork-Suribury .

How can he answer a question

when tiic officers are not in his

department? It is not suggested that any instructions have horn given by him. According to the information I have they were giv- en by thc Department of National

Defence. What knowledge could

the Minister oi Veterans’ Affairs

have of those instructions? Mr. speaker: Order. ii the

Minister of Veterans‘ Affairs pro-

poses to answer the question that

the hon. member has asked, and tones not satisfactorily answer it. ttlic hon. member for York-Sun- bury would then have the rig it

'10 ask for an answer to his ques- tion: meanwhilel cannot deprne anyone of the right to answer.

gest that there are really two

member for York-Sunbury has ljust said. Thefirst question i: 'oiie which pertains directly to the tDeparlmezit of l-Iational Defence‘ land as he said, the Minister oi <National Defence ‘Mr. McNaugh-

lwni should and will, I believe ,answci- in the name of the de- ‘parlnitnt. lint lo say “yes" oi ‘“no" lo a statement as to what

is correct or not docs not meet tho other question which will be in the minds of hon. members of thl House and others as to whothei the existing legislation would main possible any such instructions by an officer The Minister of Vet- erans‘ Aifaiis 1S ‘more familliv with that legislation, I shouli think, mm anyone else. and he should be permitted to make a supplementary statement.

“Cruel Duresa"

Mr. Hanson rVork-Svunbury) With your permission. _Sll‘, an glad that the Prime Minister no: clarified the position with reapect to the first portion of the ques- tion. Certainly only the Minister of National Defence could answer that ]):\l‘t oi the question with se- spcct to the proposal that I sug- gest lius been made. I never as- serted that that was the law or

in doing lt. hat is this. that the information nmich reaches me is that those coin- manding officers have been in- structed by national defence to interview these men and tell them this. Whether it is true or not la another matter, but I will em-

hasize the fact that this is a yorm of cruel duress to make oheaa men volunteer.

McNaughton: I would say to the hon. member he can be quite certain that no instructions of that sort would ever have been issued. '

r. Hanson (York-Sunbury): “Would ever have been issued.’

Mr. McNaughton: Or has ever been issued. If hqis aware of such .1111 order being issued. I should like it brought to my attention.
