Confidence is expressed that there will be united offset to defend the heritage of tib- erty and of established inrssttituti+ons. The prevailing opinion is that there will be no revival of the military ser- vice aot which lapsed with ,The end of the last war, that was better known as the conscription statute. Authority will share to be given to raise funds to deal with this great emergency; just what amount will be required wfisy be disclosed later in this sitting of the House.

Therefore, home de- fenee will h.ave to receive more con- sideration during this struggle. In regard to sending an expedition- ary force, that will be dealt with af- ter full consultation with Britain and France. Apart from the sdreech from the throne and tee tabling of the white paper containing the exchange of notes between Britain and Germany and giving notice .of.. the introduction of certain bills, the only thing dealt with was the announcement of the appointment of Mr. Ralston to the position of Finance Minister after the ecceptanoe of Mr. Dunning's resigna- tioe, and the reference to the paseing of the late Secretary of State, Hon. Mr. Rinfret and the late Dr. Young, Member for Saskatoon. Tomorrow, Col. Hamilton, Member for Algoma District, will move then address in .reply., .to the speech from the throne, and it will be seconded •by Mr. Blanohet•t, Member for Capton, Quebec. This will launch the debate and it is hoped that it will be very brief, as this is a time for action and not words alone. * * * Friday, Sept. 8 The war policy of the Canadian Government was outlined' in the House of Commons by the Prime Min- ister this evening.

The Government, when it secures thds in- formation from. tthe United Kingdom, well act on, their advice. But there will be no conscription for overseas service. Australia *'is making the same approach as Can adia, namely, giving immediate atten- tion to home defence and then taking Britain's advice as to the method by which the most 'effective aid can be given. • • To -day the Prime Minster made no formal'deeiaration of war, but he sub-. matted ids Government's neoammenda- tion to. the House and pointed out the policy the Goverment had adopted, and made it plain that if this policy did not meet with the approval of the House, they would have to get a new government. Excellent speeohes were made by Ool. Hamilton end Mr. Blanchette. The general effect of Col. Hamilton's speech was for equality of service and of physical and financial sacri- fice. Mr. Blanchette counselled calm and oontldence; :he bespoke national• unity in this great struggle. •- Dr. Manion at the outset of his ad- dress, -pleaded for tolerance with re- spect to the various opinions of our people in this difficult time. He didn't say anything particularly about con- scription, but 'referred to his speech of March last, when he advocated. full co-operation without conscription. He made it perfectly clear that the Con- servative party was anxious to co- .openate in every way with the Gov- •ernmem1t. He also made some con- structive suggestions. The Prime Minister, in one of .leis best efforts, summarized 'the events that, have occurred since. his Govern- ment took office, and the attitude taken' by the Government as these events arose. He made it plain that the Government was determined to stand beside Britain and France, and if Parliament did not give its support a new government would have to be formed. The leader of the C.C.F., Mr. Woodswarth , was absolutely against participation in war, but said he did not speak for his group, but only for himself. He said that he would ra- ther see his sons shot by a firing squad than to see them forced to en- list against their principle and wish- es. Mr. Blackmore promised co-opera- tion ari support by this Group, but suggestc d conscription of man power and finance, as well as of men. It is .rumored that an amendment will be moved to the main motion, but tomorrow will -decide that point. * * * Saturday, Sept. 9 Canada is now at war with the Ger- man Reich. Concurrence, all but un- animous, of the House of Commons tonight in the speech from the throne was the initial step. This will be fol- lowed by a formal proclamation 'of wan„ effective as soon as possible. The formality wi.il• invoke the embar- gos on munitions exports from the United States under its neutrality act 'but a migration to this country of United States industry in such lines is anticipated, either in the creation of new establishments, or in the en- largement of existing subsidiaries. The' main motion before the House was the address in reply to the speech from the throne. Support of this motion invoked a vote of confi- dence in the government's action, and it also meant participation by Canada in the war against Germany. Two T. aberal'niemberrs from Quebec, Lacoanbe, o't' Laval -Two Mounteips, and Lacroix of Quebec Montmorency, proposed an a.menciment ed pressing regret of Canadian participation in external warfare. It ended in a com- plete fiasco, as only tee two of them stood up to call for a recorded divi- sion on that proposal. It requires five members t'o brave a recorded vote on any proposal when the yeas and nays on any question are called for. Om .the mein motion the thunder- ing roar of 'Yea' from all sides of the House indicated where the mem- bers stood on this vital and perplex- eng question. Mr. Woodsworth was almost 'bowled dower when he alone arose and asked for the 'motion to be carried on division.
