Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that from the
bottom of his heart he wished the re-
sources of Canada would allow the send
ing Of not merely half million but mil
lion men, but il was a question of how
many men could be taken from the ma
ton without imperilling the Industrial and
agricultural industries and the very life
Of the country.
The governments position was outlined
by Solicitor General Meighen. He held
that the soldiers from Canada who were
doing the fighting would be unable 70

said that Sir Wilfrid's followers had

cause large majority of thinking people
Of Canada were against the position
taken by the opposition leader. If Canada
did not continue to support with recruits
the men sent to the front ii would mean
betrayal and disgrace.
The Senate is expected to pass the con-
scrpton measure within 10 days. Disso-
luton of Parliament is looked for and a
general election in September with con-
