He added that he did not think the Senate amendments would cause much delay, Sir Edward was visiting Camp Bor- den for the Grist time this season and a story given out by a Conser- vative party press agent who accom- panied hint contains this paragraph. "With the prospect of a large body in Canada and for training and the need to relieve ocean transport by conducting that training as far as poss- ible in Canada, the question 'of train- ing facilities becomes inmportant. Camp Borden is the Central military training ground for Ontario and having regard to its situation, extent and equipment it has cone to be regarded as (he prin- cipal training ground for the whole Do- minion."
