Prime Minister Mackenzie King made a Personal pledge but that did not constitute a mandate not to intro. duce compulsory overseas servi, , He argued that if Mr. King wish. ed to be relieved of ‘uis self-imp“. ed vow" the constitutional course Was for him to announce a new ioolicv to Parliament. The elected representatives 0f the people were emlwwered to speak for the people, The Conservative House made.- said he earnestly commended to the Eovernment a proposal to send troops to Australia. He suggested a division of grain. ed men be sent and, if titer-e ivcie not a division ready in Canada that one of the divisions be sent "0111 England and replaced by men from Canada. Canada had‘ not vet wazvd total war but the time for that hail at» rivrd. M1". Hanson outlined v. m, called ins blueprint of the i underlying a total war cffn: ' Itemized in seven points the blue. print listed needs in the allowing order:- 1. Provision of the stronee t for- 095 Dcssible to meet the e-- - ‘ any theatre 0f war; 2. D3 co oi Canada: 3. Mobilization of wealth and material resources; 4. Mootliza- tion of agriculture for maximum food production: s. Mobilization cf industry for maximum armament, prctliictlon; 6. Shipbuilding; 7 Cl‘- ganization of resources to insure continuance of ncccssary peacetime activities. "In order to accomplish this vhe man and woman power and the total material resources of the m.- i11o11. tvi-hottt any limitation, must be marInlled-pooled, if necessary ——'1nd put to work." he said. “It must be done on a selrctive basis if the best results are to flow from the effort." Recruiting statistics under the voluntary system showed that sunre communities were doing more than others and there was not equality oi sacrifice. The voluntary system no longer was adequate. Mr. Hanson said he had urged the enactment of the national resour- ces mobilization act in 1940 and consented to prohibiting the com- pulsory sending of men overseas because ‘Jtc act was a st/ep in the right direction. But in the light of present facts promises made 1940 would not be kept "lf we are to do our full duty." "Is it consistent with the prin- ciples of democracy that the state. when its very existence is at stake. should demand the services and help of its nationals?" he asked. "All history cries out with an af- firmative answer." loyal people felt humiliated by the plebiscite proposal, Mr. Hanson said. He quoted wlili approval the words of Premier Bracken of Manl- toba. and Premier Hepburn of On- tario against. the plebiscite. He described the plebiscite as "a master-stroke of ‘bad publicity for Canada in the allied nations,’ a de- liberate attempt to evade responsi- bimy... tithe n/ggzttioil of responsible government," and "an unworthy ex- pedient to avoid facing a. vital ia- aue." “The first function of B°"-‘!‘!1' merit is to secure the safety of the state." he said.
