Men who. ;have ',recently been
through the Province of Quebec re
port that the feeling against the Mil;-'
itery Service Bill is not so strong as
is reportedby 1>A
' metae{ rs from that
,Province, One gentleman attributes
all the :agitation ;'to the members of
Parliament. Liberal and National
members are 'vieing with each other
in provoking opposition to the meas-
ure. The people, al:Quebecdo not
tike the measure, but if there is any
resistance to its enforcement 'the
blame will attach to the. Liberal and
Nationalist leaders.
it has frequently been pointed out
that French-Canadians enlisted fair-
ly • well in all provinces, except Que-
bec.
A, French-Canadian member from
,New Brunswick (NLr. .Robictoux) voted
for the. Military :Service Bill; the only
French-,Cons,ervative member an- ;On-
tario (Dr. Chabot) spoke lar the -Bill
and . would have voted' for it were he
not paired with Han: Dr. Beland, axow
a prisoner of war in -Germany,. (He
- was urged to vote anyway on the
ground that Dr. Beland himself would
vote, for it were he here; but Ire, re-
spec'ted the pair he made), The only
French Canadian .member from Sask-
atchewan. ,a Liberal, (Mr. Champagne)
voted for- the Bill.
This all indicates that the trouble
is with Quebecprovince, rather than
with ,the French{Canadian as such,
•-Removed from the Quebec environ-
ment, the French-Canadian appears to
better advantage.
