To complete Throne Speech

ferendum Will Be Used To Decide Is-

S116.

UPTAWA, Jan. Il—(CP)—Im- mediiately after the old session of Parliament was prorogued tonizlll Prlme Minister Mackenzie Kins and his cabinet colleagues met to put the finishing touches to the Throne Speech with which a new session will be opened tomorrow afternoon.

Meanwhile the corridors and of- fices iri the centre block buzzed with speculation over the possibil- ity of the Throne speech announ- cing a government move toward conscription.

Speculation indicated a growing belief among members and obser- vers here that the speech, or a. gov- ernment announcement to follow close upon the opening, would in- dicate consultation of the people on a proposal to enact a measure to compel the service of Canadians in any field of war or in any ca-

aclty, civil or armed. for which hey might be selected.

Until the Earl of Atlilone, Gov- emor-Genernl of Canada, reads the Throne speech in the senate

chamber tomorrow afternoon, it will not be known outside the Prime Minister's immediate ad-

visers what course is to be pur- sued.

There may even be nothing specific on the question or man- {nwer in the Throne spirecn but f there is not it is understood the Prime Minister Will make a slate- ment lltXleMfllldkll Al. .t.he_ latest.

The general belief is that a re- ferendum will lie placed before the people in which they will be asked to vote yes or no to a nest-ion as to whether or not they eileve the present administration should feel free to introduce legislation extend- ing compulsory service to cover service outside the Dominion.

It has been suggested that this might more properly be described as a, plebiscite since a referendum is considered to seek approval or rejection of a definite policy. ap- proval of ‘Wlllflll would carry a mandate to the government t0 carry it out.

A plebiscite is ticscribcd as a test of opinion the result of which may or may not be binding, in both cases the same electorate would participate.
