New Zealand Shifts
Soldiers to Industry

More than 5000 men have been
released by the army in New Zea-
land for industrial production, it
was disclosed by Minister j. G..
Barclay in New Plymouth. He
made the statement in reply to sug-
gestions that the dairy industry
was not getting the men for its
work which the government prom
ised would be released from military
service.
The War Cabinet, he said, decided
that men should be made available,
principally for primary industries,
but the army declined to free those
regarded as key men In the forces,
especially in mechanical units, and
those In the overseas forces.
Uncle Sam will give you many
tanks-if you get in that scrap.

The whole problem hinges on
CONSUMPTION for overseas service,
Canada has always had the draft
for service inside the Dominion

King had to promise mo about

War I.
A draft bill, The Military ,Serv.
Ice Act, was passed by Parliament
In 1917 against bitter opposition.
Untactful harding Of the Situa-
ton drove the people Of quebec

consumption thereafter became q

In subsequent elections, partieu-
larry 1898 and 1910, oil parties
assured Quebec there world be
no CONSUMPTION for overseas duty
In this war.
PREMIER WON'T
BREAK PROMISE
The Dominion government has
now decided that about eonssrip.
ton may soon become imperative.
An Act Of Parliament similar to
the 1917 Military Service Act
could be passed without difaeulty,
as the Liberal government has a
majority Of more than 10 over the
other parties, and a substantial
majority In the Senate.
But Prime Minister King re-
fuses 10 consider such aston In
the light OF the election promises,
not only of himself but his fol.

general election with eonScrlp.
