CANADA’S FORCES
HOME CONSCRIPTION
OTTAWA, June 17. Single men and childless widowers up to 35 years of age will be subject to compulsory military training under a proclamation tabled in the Canadian House of Commons by the War Services Minister (Mr. J. T. Thorson). This is an extension by five years of the upper age limit for men called up under the National Resources Mobilisation Act. Mr. Thorson said that the introduction of conscription for overseas service would be harmful to the war effort at present. Mr. Thorson told the House of Commons that Canada was closer to total mobilisation of her manpower resources than most people imagined.
