Canada Will Not Impose
Draft, Official Declares

MONTREAL, Jan. 27 (P.-Premier
Godbout told public meeting last
night that Prime Minister w. L.
Mackenzie King has always been
against conscription for overseas
service, and with the example Of
Australia, who sent most of her
troops outside the country, he will
not impose conscription."
"I think that conscription for
overseas service actually would be
crime" he added. The example
Of Australia proves that now"
Mr.. King realized, Premier God
bout said, that Australia was today
deprived of large part of its army,
fighting elsewhere while the enemy
approached Australian shores.
Premier Godbout spoke in French
at the annual meeting of the st.
Denis-Dorion Liberal Association.
He was interrupted many times
by shouted questions, particularly
in connection with conscription.
AS the questioners, described by
speakers at the rally as students
became more unruly, dozen police
men moved through tbs crowd to
keep order.

Lady decided she liked the out
side air and set UP q terrible wall
when Sabu and her keeper, Roy
Swinburne, tried to put her back
in the truck. Lady Just sat down
and howled at the top Of her lungs,
attracting quite . crowd.
Finally, however, Sabu whispered
sot1e special promise In her ear,
probably that she'd get more sugar
next time, and she finally consented
to be hauled up to the Treasury
Department, where several score Of
newspaper carriers, who are selling
stamps, were awaiting them.
