Final Appeal Jude
Gives Rulind on
Exemptiora of Farrnets
Mr. Justice Duff (the Final Court of Appeal) De-
clares it is Essential that there shall be No
Diminution in Agricultural Production.
(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 (t3,e.final court of appeal), for the exernp-
tion of a farmer. The appeal wa.s made 1;:y W. H. Rown-
tree in respect of his son, W. J. Rowntree, from the
'Incision 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 for 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 man onemption "until he ceases to
be employed in agricalturail labor," Mr. Justice Duff
said:
"The Military Service Act does not deal with the
subject of the eicemption 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 meniloned, habitually and effectively en-
gaged in agriculture and in labor essential to the carry-
ing on of agricultural production, ought to be exempted
under th'e 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 snappily 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duction, ought ,not to be withdrawn from it.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-
dons are not granted as concessions on account of per-
sonal hatdship, still less as a favor to a class. The sole
ground of theon 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 preamble
shows, this policy of the Military Service Act is found=
ed) that leads tl.i State to take men by compulsion and
put them in the fighting line requires that men Shall be
kept at ho'ne who are engaged in work essential to en-
able the State to maintain the full efficiency of the com-
batant forces, and whose places cannot he taken by
others not within the class called out,"
