The scheme of defence had been approved by Parliament and the people and his government took the responsibility of the Act just a* the previous government had done, They were willing to improve the Act, but the young fellows of the country must be trained to do their duty in the event of the empire being brought into war, and the government would stand or fall by the principle of the scheme.
