Defence lnlster Ralston and Navy Minister Mac- donald are frequently named as pressing for immediate conscription. Some reports go so far as to say these ministers are threatening to resign lf the government does not embark on a conscription policy. e re rts have become so wldesprea that for a. time Inst night indications were an official statement would be lsued clarify- ing the situation, possibly] by Col. Ralston. However. none ad been made up to noon today. Cabinet met at noon as usual. Meanwhile the Conservatives are outspoken in forecasting they will demand a. showdown on conscrip- tion ln the House. One spokesman said they are afraid the government will avoid an issue on conscription in the House and bring about com- pulso military service for overseas by or er-ln-councll, if it became necessary. Conservatives, he said, will fight such a procedure “to the last. ditch" holding it to b0 a negation of Par- llament. The generally-expected step is for the government to bring in a bill to amend the national resources mobilization act. removing the re- striction that compulsory military service applies‘ only to service in Canada and that men must volun- teel‘ before they can be sent over- seas. If this were done, the govern- ment would be free to enforce con- scription for overseas if and when that step became necesary. Conservatives will urge that mere. 1y amending the mobilization act would. not be enough, Parliament sho-uld have a. hand in actually bringing in conscription for overseas service.

Basing its flgures on farmers‘ in- tentions to seed at April 0O. the Bureau estimated the total wheat acreage would be 21,312,900, a re- duction of three per cent or 554.600 acres from the area sown ln 1941. With farmers turning to the glowing of coarse grains to assist production of needed vegetable oils and animal fats, the area to be summerfallowed ln the Prairie Pro- vinces was estimated at 17,349,000 acres, l2 per cent lower than in 1941.
