 In vigorous language he advocated the incorporation in the bill of a pro- vision giving the volunteer system chance before resorting to draft meas ures.
 He said that it, was well known fact that large number of members were opposed to the conscription bill as it is drawn up, but that they, for reasons best known to themselves. do not show their exact stand. He poited out that there is every evil dence that the Required army can readily be raised by the volunteer system, and that so far no logical reason has been offered for keeping it in the back ground but that it is
