Conscription lluestion Looms Before Commons

While there is reason to believe some tlCllOll may be tiilccn to en- large the coinptilsory service laws. pessiblvi with the iproval of pow. erftil Quebec circles, there appears little likelihood that the fictional government proposal will meet with any encouragement in government ranks.

Mr. Mtfitillclbs advocacy of con- scriprlon in his by-rlection cam- paign keynote speech last Friday night was only one of the indica- tions of i1 demand for it. Conserv- ative circles here state that their party caucuses l1 session n»: '" fl1‘i'.lll3xlf,' cntlt oi conacript n for ovt seas Sl‘l‘\'l('(‘ but they expect that ivhcn the numbers retu.n to the new session ".I;-.-y will catcus and rally behind the new leader's party platform.

Keeping Own Counsel

Mr. King, busy in his office at Laurler House and attending fre- quent cabinet meetings in the east block. is keeping his own counsel on the conscription problem. VThere were lliliitlillifiiis fi"oin of- flt‘l.ll sources toniflt that he would reserve any statement he might make until Parliament is in session.

Proceedings 1n cabinet council tire necessarily secret and members are unacr oath not to reveal what goes on tibotii. the til-ant circular faolc in the Privy Cotincll room of the east block.

However, there have been persis- tcnt reports that several ministers have to be tirging upon the '> \I"' r _ that the dr ~tl _ ‘i instances of tli n1 ciit WCElB now justify his te- cullitiz the ialstlge he made in i939 and i940 not to introduce con- scription for service ovierseas.
