The only other means in sight is conscription. The volun- tary system is practically at an end. The appeal to the manhood and the loyalty of Canadians that has rung over the length and breadth .of the Dominion for nearly three years has called forth the manhood and the loyalty and only those remain to wlioiu such an appeal has no meaning These must new be dealt with. _ There is opposition to conscription; riots have already arisen and rebellion has been threatened with a view to preventing it This is natural.

Op osition from these was to' be expect- ed ut there is another class of opposi - tionists that is more contemptible and more dangerous than the slacker or the shirker or the disloyal-the little partisan, office - seeking politicians, the men who see in the present impasse the possibility of party ad- vanta e. _ These are the remnant of the Liber(§"»}_n'1rt%-revyhp have decided to oppose the ovérti ' t s conscription policy as f.~i\ __ ' I . they believed it was a righteous war and who are going to see it through to the end.
