In the House of Commons, Mr. William Clough, Liberal member for the Skipton Division of Yorkshire, in a long, rambling question, a«ked Mr. Lionel Harcourt, Secretary of State for the Colonies, for details regarding the prosecution* of defaulting Cadet* in Australasia, whether they were children of British immigrant*, Whether Australia and New Zealand compelled conscription after six months' residence, and whether a boy-conscription policy had been adopted to alky scaremonger apprehensions as to Gorman, Chinese, and Japanese invasions.
