Mobilization Act to leave the gov.
ernment free to conscript men BY
proclamation for service in any
theater Of war.
Plebiscite Held in April.
The bill was introduced following
a plebiscite April q in which q
great ma ajority of Canadians voted
to release the government from
promises not to introduce unlimited
conscription. Only the Quebec
Province voters opposed the govern
ment.
The Prime Minister was followed

Of the government and Parliament
