McNaughton

Minister of National Defense, on the subject of overseas reinforce- ments. from the l-lanaard official report, Nov. ‘J8. Continued from ' yesterday's Guardian.

Mr. McNaughton: The answer to the hon. member's question is, first, that before a man ls return- ed to .the front he must be pl". slc- al fit to the standards w.ich have been laid down. If a man J38 had three wounds, and certain per- iods of service, the particulars of which I have not under my hand at the_ moment, he is entitled to certain extra periods of leave. If the hon. member wishes the details 1 will send down to the deport- ment and have them sent up at once. lvir. Noseworthy: I aak my ines- tlon. because a great many people are hearing from overseas and are under the impression that tho boys overseas are being unduly used; that they are bcin sent back time after time from t e hos- pital; that they are being used for Iunduly long periods of time in thc front line; and that squadrons are going into action at part strength because of the reinforce- ment situation. That is the infor- mation I set from citizens who arc receiving letters from overseas I Walllgttli like your comment on that

0 .

n Mr. McNa hton: The statement which I haltlg made of the rein- forcement situation is’ at in arms other than thc infantry there is no problem as far as numbers are concerned. There always is and always will be ln battle, particular- lp in the fast-moving type oi fshting in which our men Ir. northwest Europe have been en- Based during the summer, thc problem of getting reiforcemcn‘: promptly to the units. When n casualty occurs a demand is made on the depots and it may be some days befo.e the man gets forward. I myself served in units din-mg the last war. and I do not sun- pose we ever were fully up to strength. That condition exists in arms other than the infantry. in the infantry there have been sne~ cial problems which are being riet by the theatre commanders from the resources at their Generally the situation has been reasonably satisfactpry. In some units. unquestionably. there have been shortages. We are tryim: to ‘correct those matters as prompt- Ily as we can.

asked whether the pro- vision we have made. and which l have outlined briefly, ls sujficié ent for the future. I must re eat that the requirements of was age are determined on estimates giv- en by our own officers and count- ersigned by the theatre command- ers. so that we may know they have been prepared to accord .iv‘th the planned operations which arr» in prospect. Then, with the num- bers ln the depots, which can be calculated from that, according to the scales shown by experience to be necessary. and the numbers behind to maintain, we have mado full provision. with a small mar- gin beyond.

Was Ralston Wrong

Mr. Cruickshank: Is it the gen- eral's opinion that the forrncr Minister of National Defence and his advisers used incorrect lig- ures or were ill advised‘!

Mr. McNaughton: The answer

is. no. not under the plans that were before them. I have been WEI‘ those estimates and I think that. with the information then ivail- able they were correct. Mr. Cruickshank: Without dis- closing secrets to the enemy - I do not know who they are - have you information since then which he ex-Minister of National l)e- fence did not have? I should like to know that. as an old soldier- and the general is too. What in- formation is there since Colonel Ralston was overseas which would offset his ‘information?

Mr. McNaughton: Information changes-

Mr. Cruickshank: How?

Mr. McNaughton: -when you

are dealing with this fluid situa- tion of reinforcements, a great stream of men moving forward. The situation changes almost daily as to numbers uvaimble. Mr. Crulckshank: Not era.
