Mrs, Oscar Edwards of Toronto, to various units of Canada's "anywhere" army, 15,269 men who because of the terms of their enlistment, cannot be ordered outside of Canada. er L Canada are immobilized. This by reason of the fact that Canada has two kinds of soldiers--the "anywhere" soldier and the soldier. : Figures disclosed recently in the House by : Land War Minister Ralston revealed that there "are over 30,000 men in Canada's "stay-at-home" army personnel, If they could be segregated into one separate - a ere ---- army it would not be so embarrassing for Can- ada's army leaders. As it is, almost every unit and division now in training or being mobilized in Canada, has both kinds of men, It is like a chess game where only some of the men on one side of the board are free to move It makes the training and building right across. of an integrated, hard-hitting, - difficult and at times an almost impossible job. 'Now that the plebiscite is over, the government: is 'taking steps to remove this obstacle. But con- trary to general belief, the obstacle of Canada's divided army will not be removed merely by wiping out Clause three of the National Resources Mobilization Act.. This is-the clause which pre- 'vents requiring persons to serve in the military, naval or air forces outsidelof Canada and in the It is this clause that is to be removed by means of an amendment now - territorial waters thereof." before the House. But the passage of this bill (the bill which caused the resignation of Hon. from the cabinet) will not affect the status of the 30,000 trainees already in training or in army It will probably not affect evén new men called up under N.R.M.A. (National Resources Mobilization Act) once the units throughout Canada. amendment has been made law. The reason for this is that the status and liability of Canada's "stay-at-home" army is gov- erned by another act, the Reserve Army Special One clause in these regula- tions covers "Liability for Training Service and Regulations, 1941. Duty." It says that N.R.M.A. recruits must undergo training for four months or such other periods as the Minister of Defense may from time to time prescribe and that thereafter, so long as: such recruits remain members of the Active Militia, they shall be liable to perform such training ser- "vice or duty "only within Canada and the terri- - torial waters thereof as the Minister of Defense may from time to time require." . This is one of the vital components of the back- ground before which the Cabinet crisis took place recently, Cd The morale difficulties of a two-type army are self-evident. Men of the fanywhere" army have taunts for men of the "at-home" army. Or some "stay-at-home" About 20% of the Sixth Division is made up of soldiers for home defense only. The Seventh and Eighth Divisions, now organ- izing, 'Colonel Ralston said, would be made up very 'largely of home-defense-only soldiers. Lt. Gen, McNaughton looks at a modern army as composed of a number of highly trained teams --like rugby or hockey teams. Each man highly skilled in a particular function; each man as vital fighting force a in England, in :the efficient and victorious activities of that team as the leader at the apex of the pyramid; each man's life and soul devoted to that team. On those principles Canada's new army has been built--as far as government policy would allow. With that self-evident principle of efficiency and - co-ordination as the foundation, it is also self-evident that splitting up these teams leads to difficult and at times dangerous complications, Hence, the present handicap to training--as well 'as to morale--in having scattered through- out its ranks home-defense-only soldiers. On paper, if the present enlistment totals were to continue, Canada would not lack for men. "We need a minimum of 8,000 to 10,000 men a month to create and reinforce out two corps army Temporarily, we are enlisting that many men, In the past nine months we- have- enlisted on average, about 8,400 men per month. about a third of the men called up under the In addition, NRMA have 'gone active" at the rate of about 1,300 a month, P. J. A. Cardin 180,000 a year, NRMA. stated: According to Colonel Ralston's own report to the 'House of Commons (Hansard, p. 2304). Can- ada will require a minimum of 5,000 men each month under the NRMA. He said: "Generally speaking, what we are planning for is to train '15,000 or more men a month--that is, That is, those who are general service men and those who are called 'under "I am making an absolute minimum of 6,000 a month under NRMA, enough to fill up the 16,000," But supposing there are 12,000 enlisted for general service in the month, I would still call the 5,000 under NRMA."" In short it is becoming increasingly difficult to segregate the "stay-at-homes." from basic training centres they are diffused among army units which need reinforcement. On page 2251 of Hansard, Colonel Ralston There will always be As they emerge "Most of the battalions in the sixth and seventh divisions at the present time, and most of the artillery units as well, have both home defense personnel and general service personnel in the same units. . . . from the practical point of view it was impossible to. have these home defense personnel as they come out of training centres go to a separate unit."

The result is most damning to a people who take pride in the effort they think they are putting into the war, : . The federation estimates liquor ex- penditures for 1941 amounted to $232,1456,000 not including any amount for illegal sales. It has been esti- mated in the House of Commons by Hon. R. B. Hanson that illegal sales in 1939 totalled $20,000,000 which if taken for 1941 means total consumer costs would be well over $250,000,000. There has been a progressive increase in sales in the past three years, it is reported and it is known the increase in legal sales in some provinces for 1941 will be about 26 per cent. Such figures make one-stop and think. In times like these it' should - be the policy of every man and woman - to devote as much money as possible to-the- war efforts being done can be seen from the above figures. If $250,000,000 were devoted to patriotic needs it would bring im- measurable comfort to the armed forces or could be used to build and outfit many merchant vessels to carry food to the troops. We believe a halt will have to be called on injudicious spending before the war has pro- gressed much further.
