Allen that the Government will not conlpel the members of the Expeditionary iorce to make provision for their wives and children. The committee has dtawn the attention of the Minister to the action of tho Canadian Government in refusing to accept men without tho consent of their wives, to the proclamation by the Australian Government compelling volunteers to make provision for their wives, children, or illegitimate children before enlisting.
