I bring a message from .those who have died that Canada may live—is there not a call to us that their sac- rifice ao-rifice shall not be in vain ? "I have had to take,these mat- ters into consideration, and I have given them my considera- tion. I realize that the responsi- bility is a serious one, but I do not shrink from it. Therefore, it is my duty to announce to the House that early proposals will be made on the part of the Gov- ernment to provide by 'compul- sory military 'enlistment on a se- lective basis - such reinforcements as may be necessary to maintain the Canadian army today on the field as one of the finest fighting units of the Empire. Tlie num- ber of men required will not bo less than 50,000 'and will prob- ably be 100,000."
