(Published by authority of Director of Public Information Ottawa.) Hon. Mr. Justice Duff gave judgment on December Gth, in the first test case brought before him, as Central Appeal Judge (the final court of appeal), for the exemp- tion of a farmer. The appeal was made by W. H. Rown- tree in respect of his son, W. J. Rowntree, from the decision of Local Tribunal, Ontario, No. 421, which refused a claim for exemption. The son was stated to be an experienced farm hand, who had been working on the farm continuously foe the past seven years, and ever since leaving school. He lives and works with his father, who owns a farm of 150 acres near Weston, Ontario. With the exception of a younger brother, he is the only male help of the father on the farm. The father is a man of advanced years, In granting the mar. eeoreption "until he ceases to he employed in agriclixturati labor," Mr. Justice Duff said "The Military Service Act does not deal with the subject of the exemption of persons engaged in the agri- cultural industry; and the question which it is my duty' to decide is whether the applicant being and having been, as above mentioned, habitually and effectively en- gaged in agriculture and in labor essential to the carry- ing on of agricultural production, ought to be exempted under the provisions of the Military Service Act. "These two propositions are indisputable : "(1) In order that the military power of the allies may be adequately sustained, it is essential that in this country and under the present conditions, there should be no diminution in agricultural production, "(2) The supply of competent labor available for. the purpose of agricultural production is not abundant, but actually is deficient. "The proper conclusion appears to be that the ap- plicant, a competent person, who had been habitually and effectively .engaged 'in labor essential to such pro- duction, ought not to be withdrawn from it. "It is perhaps unnecessary to say that such exemp- tions are not granted as concessions on account of per- sonal hardship, still less as a favor to a class. The sole .ground of them is that the national interest is the better served by keeping these men at home. The supreme necessity (upon the existence of which as its reamble P shows, p this policy of the Military Service Act is found- ed) ed that leads the State to take men by corn pulsion and put them in the fighting line requires that inen shall be kept at home who are engaged in work essential to en- able the State to maintain the full (efficiency of the com- batant force, and whose places cannot be taken by others not within tbe,cla'Bs called out," 1 Ottawa, bec. 8, 1917.
