Mr. Green: You arc relying a good deal on these young lads who have had six or six and a half weeks‘ training in En land gettlnl at least forty-eight ours’ train- iniz when they get to their bat- talions?

Mr. McNaughton: I am relying much more than that on the test- ing by the officers as the men come up through the various ech- elons checking on the standards of qualifications which are required and physical fitness and so on. All of these echelons have authority to hold back in the training stream or in the depots people whom they consider to be unfit. I am satisfied, too. as matters have pro roused. that we have a compre enslve number of officers and N.C.0.'a who have very great experience

and ivho have been placed n these ke positions where they can choc thc training and ensure

the adequacy of passing through t elr hands. May I say one thing further?

geople who. are

with an abundance of this world's goods yet you managed to provide a good home, and a gum sound moral and Christian education ior all oi us. Today we have all rt-it the home roof. and established homes of our own. but the happi- est moments of our lives are those when we return to spend a few happy hours with you both.

One of our brothers, iollctvmg in the I00iStep5 of another noble brother is today far from the home roof, risking his life in the service of his country. You. Father and Mother are justly proud of him and we join with you in the fer- vent hope that Gqd will sparchim to return to his loved ones. and we are confident that today he is in spirit with us in helping to make this a happy and memorable day for you both.

You have had trials and sorrows which clearly bring out the words: "No Cross, No Crown", but your undauiitcd courage and never-fail- ing cheerfulness through it all has brought its reward. Today you both enjoy a good measure of health. and we all look forward to having your advice and guidance for many years to conic.

May God bless you both is the fervent wish of your children.

One of the things that I was al- ways interested in and one of the |tliings which relieved me most lvras to find, when i came to the de artment and asked what was be g done with left-out-of-battie personnel. this information. I was ‘relieved when the staff turned me ‘up a copy of this letter from one

of our senior commanders: I said: 013,; Th“ 15 on a high

"At last we have this thing under control with the units themselves

place of havin it left to chance." Once we ave it check- |ed at that point by the people who ,have to use and be responsible for ,thc lives of these young men, they will very quickly bring the echel- ons up to standard. if they have been falling down. I was relieved to find that letter given as an ord- er by one of our senior command- ers in the fl d.

“What Chance?"

| Mr. Green: In any event you are placing a good deal of reliance on the training that these young boys will get when they reach the battalion. What is to happen in the case of a boy going up to the Seaforth Highlanders of Van- couver as an example and meet- ing a condition where that unit has been reduced to fifty or a hun- dred men, and they are in desper- ate straits to hold their part of tho front? How much training do you think that boys will get under those conditions - and some of us as lnfantrymcn saw that happen

Mr. McNaughton: Quite so.

Mr. Green: Actually what ivill happen. as you know. will be that boy will be put right in the line, and the chances arc that he will be killed or wounded writhlr. twenty-four hours. If he is lucky enough to live he may learn something. We have had men back from the Scaforths. and that is ex- actly what has been happening in Italy. What do you do in a case like that’?

Mr, Pouiiut: Before the general

should sit down while such ques-l

tions are being asked. ~ I Mr. Green: What chance do you

think a boy has to gct training in

the unit in circumstances like Al"

Mr. McNaughton: The hon. member has described a specific C558.

Mr. Green: I am sure that there are many of them.

Mr. McNaughton: It is a case

wlicrc onc of out‘ battalions in an attack has been reduced to a strength of fifty all ranks. Mr. Green: 0r one hundred. Mr. McNaughton: If the cir- cumstances of battle permitted. what would happen there is that the unit would be withdrawn. Mr. Green: Suppose it is not withdrawn? Mr. McNaughton: Some oi us have been in like positions: no doubt you have; I have been my- self. Under those conditions, when the fate of the battle depends on it, it ls the duty of every man, rc- gardless of his qualifications or training. to do the best he can.

Mr. McNaughton: No one agrees more profoundly with what you have stated than I. One of the moat difficult problem which faces me in the Department" nf Notional Defence i.| not the busi- ness of getting men to volunteer for service overseas. bocaulo once the unity and the will of the o- ple of this country are oatab iah- ed that will occur of itself.

Mr. McNaughton: My primary responsibility to this Home the maintenance of the army

The death of Mrs. John 'T. Weeks occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. E. Ellis. Sum- mcrside, Nov. 30th. The deceased was at the advanced age of 9O years. Most of her life she spent in Albertori where by her many sterling qualities she made a host of friends. She leaves to mourn, two daughters, Mrs. R. E. Wilson. Ottawa, and Mrs. RE. Ellis. Sum- merside. The funeral service was held at the home of Mrs. Ellis, with a commital service at Alber- ton, where interment took place.

there will be an extension of that principle only whore it ial necessary to meet deficiencies in! our army overseas.

Mr. Green: But the two meth- ods will still be carried on?

Mr. McNaughton: We have . problem on our hands. We have! 60,000 men in the N.R.M.A. They! are there physically in existencel and somethin has to be done about them. T e system must con-‘ tinue until it' is liquidated, either: by the men volunteering for ser- vice or by their going into some other form of activity. You cannot] change an organization with 60,1 000 men in it just overnight.

Mr. Green: What about the young lads you are going to call up from how on? Are you gql g tn continue calling tip men and the“ asking them to volunteer? Are the! men who are to be called up to be for service anywhere. or are they simply to go into the N. R, M, A in Canada and then have to be persuaded to go active?

Mr. McNaughton: There has been no alteration in the call-up system. Under that system we

Jrccast the activities and needs .r a long time in advance and then we requisition on the De- partment of Labour for certain numbers of personnel who are physically _fit and in certain oth- er categories to be turned over to the army. Those who volunteer after being taken into the N. R M. A. depots count against the quota and are later diverted into the training stream, while the others are handled through the

Mr. Green: The others simply go as N.R.M.A.?
