No Compromise

Mr. Hutchings sounded oh so tired of everything, but thought Mr. O'Brien's amendment "the best working compromise." (With whom? No openly or seriously pro-conscription its had taken the floor yet.) He declared himself opposed to "Blimpish-ness."

Referring us back to 1914-18 and 1939-45, Mr. R. Smith said that conscription at this time, 3 years after war had ended, would have a fatal effect on peace morale, and only serve to boost the outlook that regarded war as inevitable, in which a few people have a vested interest. The choice was between peace or war, one world or none.

Mr. Robinson said we should make our views clear to the Government which was only there to serve the people. He was opposed to any wishy-washy amendment.

An 18-year-old. Mr. Temm said he was not afraid to go to camp. He was only too willing to fight (whom?). Other 18-year-olds did not concur.
