CANADIAN ATTITUDE TRAINING OF PILOTS ECONOMIC PRESSURE SUPPLY OF MATERIALS (Reed. Sept. 9, 3 p.m.) OTTAWA, Sept. 8. During his speech in the Canadian House of Commons to-day the Prime Minister, Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, said he did not believe that conscription was necessary and he would not introduce it. Britain had indicated that the despatch of trained air force men provided a most effective and desirable means of co-operation. Other forms would include economic pressure, and regulations imposing a ban on trading with the enemy and controlling enemy shipping and property. Canada could be a source of supply of much war materials. A determined national effort was necessary to bring agriculture and industry to the highest efficiency. Close consultation was being maintained •with Britain to ensure that Canada’s assistance should not be unplanned and irresponsible. The Deader of the Opposition, Dr. R. J. Manion, claimed that Canada was actually at war. “When Britain wars, Canada wars,” he declared. “I do not believe that any part of the Empire can be neutral when another is warring.”
