Tomorrow the Commons will .9- suine its public sittings and con. tinue debate on the Government's vote of confidence motion,

Col. J. L. Riilston, former De. fence Minister. is expected to oar. ticlgate in tomorrows debate and pro ably will indicate how he will vote on the confidence motion,

While the secret session, origin- Bll)’ eXPefied to last only an hour, was in progress tension remained at the high level that has prevail- ed stnce the passage of an order. in-councll making 16,000 draftees available for service overseas,

Three Progressive Conservative members, Joseph Harris, Toronto- Dunfortli; Hon. W. Earl Rotve, Duiferin-Simcoe, and C. E. Dea- melid. Kent. remained away from the sitting because they were op- posed to the House meeting 1n secret.

Quebec Liberals In Caucus

Quebec Liberals met in caucus before the House opened and War Services Minister LoFleche saldon leaving that the meeting was "cor- dial" and that there would be no more bolters from the Liberal por- ty over the conscription issue.

‘Three Quebec Liberals have crossed the floor since the over- seas conscription authority was announced last week. They were Charles Parent (Quebec Westgmd South). J.F. Pouliot (Temlscouaizt) and Wilfrid LaCroix (Quebec Montmorency),

The caucus. lasting almost three hours. was addressed by Prime Minister Mackenzie Kink. who was accompanied by Defence Minister McNaughton. It was understood Mr. King told the members they should consider who would take his place lf they voted against film in i- e House and led to the de- feat of the government.

One membe said lie lind the

impression that some of the Que- bec members would vote against the Government because they op- posed conscription fol" overseas. but that they would not cross the floor and would continue to slip- port Mr. King. Manv members were reported to feel that partial conscription as made effective by the Government was more acceptable than total conscription suggested by opposi- tion parties.

Protests Secret Session

Joseph H. Harris (PC-‘Ibronto Danforth) left the House soon af- ter the secret sitting opened. ny- ioq he wrotcshd “.\-'tll!l.<i tloldllil the meeting behind closed doors.

Mr. Harris sztid the Procedure was entirely irregular. If secret ses- sions were held in the British Par- liament it was by aareethellt of nil. but there was no such ltgree- mellt ill Canada.

"Om Wlssemhnllrg to Gershelm, however, there is no continu- ous river line along the frontier. Only the wide and deep Plalzerwalrl Forest area in the centre offers a. natural defensive terrain It is against this weak link on the southern flank of the German west Rhinellnd that the U. S. 3rd Army is swinging with 7th Army support.

Berlin commentators stress the prediction that the German retreat will continue beyond the frontier Itself until it reaches the fortifications of the Siegfried Line perhaps 10 miles back. Their purpose may be to prepare the home front for the widest and deepest Allied netrntlon of German loll at that point.

There are indications that the stubbornly held enemy ‘ ldgehead west of the Rhine close to Basel probably has been eliminated and with it the last threat to communications of the French forces which burst through the Belfort Gap to trike Mulhouse. If that is true. early clear- ance of the souther vosges of the inst German invaders is to be ex- pected, freeing the American 7th Army and the French 1st Army to old the 3rd in a break-through into the Saar Basin area from the south.

A deep Allied penetration of the Saar Basin would nearly spilt the west front in two and jeopardize the German stand west of the Rhine to the north almost as much as would an enemy collapse on the Roer. the Mouse, or anywhere else except on the dormant Ncrler Rhine seg- ment in Holland.
