Canada S Draft Crisis
Nearer Solution, but
Protests Continue
~ the Associated Press,

=
+ OTTAWA, Nov. 29.-Canadaa
overseas conscription problem
moved today toward solution In
its purely parliamentary phases
but drafted troops In Pacific
Coast camps still were protestina
against the governments new
policy.
In rare secret session Parliament
heard Defense Minister A. G. L. Nc
Naughton until nearly midnight last
night, then adjourned to resume
open deliberations this afternoon.
In q statement issued late last
night at Vancouver, Maj. Gen. r. r.
Pearkes, commanding ofYicer in that
area, declared one mutinous demon
stration at Terrace, British Colum-
bia, had resulted from a misunder-
standing. A spokesman said simul-
taneously that the situation there
seemed to be easier" after one unit
supporting the demonstrators had
turned in their arms.
PlckctS BLOCK troops.
Gen. Pearkes said:
"A unit which now has been given
coast defense role and which was
being moved from Terrace to an
other point in British Columbia was
prevented from entraining by pick
cts of other units in Terrace. A
previous report that this unit was
moving overseas was in error"
What effect, If any, this state
inent would have on demonstrators
at half a dozen other camps in
British Columbia was not immedi-
ately clear. Under the government
program 10000 draftees are to be
sent overseas.
In Parliament, after week of one
of the gravest crises in Canada's
modern history revolving around
the traditional racial conflict over
conscription of troops for overseas
duty, Prime Minister w. L. Mac
Kenzie King appeared to have won
sufficient support to give him a
comfortable majority on a vote Of
confidence to be taken in the next
few days.
Train Kept Idle.
At Terrace, town of only few
hundred civilian population $50
miles north of Vancouver, French
speaking draftee regiment armed
with rifles and Bren guns and wear
ing steel helmets marched yesterday
to camps of two English-speaking
draftee regiments also quartered in
the town and prevented scheduled
entraining Of one of the latter units.
Under this threat of violence au-
thorities kept a waiting troop train
idle on siding and the English
speaking troops were confined to
the barracks.
Protest demonstrations of less
violent nature were staged else
where in British Columbia, all of
these involved English-speaking
units, and sporadic demonstrations
by small groups and individuals oc-
CURED in other parts of Canada.
A military spokesman at Terrace
frankly described the striking
troops as "mutineers" as they inter-
fered with other troops in perform
ance of duty.
The House today will hear the
former defense minister, Col j. L.
Ralston,- who resigned early this
month when he failed to win the
cabinet over to his view that con-
scription should be adopted to re-
lnforce depleted Canadian infantry
lines in Europe.
Prime Minister King after three
hour meeting with his French
speaking Liberal Party supporters
from Quebec, who had threatened
to desert him on the confidence vote
was reported to have won them over
despite their opposition to any form
of conScription.
