CANADA READY
ANY EMERGENCY
MEN FOR OVERSEAS
OTTAWA, September 27.
After the Cabinet meeting today, the Premier, Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, announced that the Government agreed fully with the British' stand. "Canada is geared for any contingency," he said.
He appealed to the nation for united action so that "controversies and" divisions which might seriously impair effective concerted action may be avoided."
The defence authorities, after a survey, estimate that Canada will be able to send 750,000 men overseas and mobilise and equip them faster, than in 1914. All leave of the permanent forces has been cancelled.
