$4,000 men, who could be expanded
into force of 100000. would be to aid
the civil power In maintaining peace
and defending invasion, from without.
Canada would not make any direct
contributions for military or naval pur.
poses to England. he said. Nothing
would be done over which the Canada
parliament would not have full con-
