IMPERIAL POLITICS.
THE ARMY DEBATE.
SHORTAGE OF TERRITORIALS,
POSSIBLE COMPULSORY SERVICE
By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. London, April lp.
During the army debate in the House of Lords it was stated that the great shortage of Territorials was grave, but not serious enough for a heroic remedy. The Government must see what steps were possible on a voluntary basis to enable the margin of safety to be properly maintained. Lord Lansdowne said he was perplexed at the Government's utterances. He advocated physical training in schools.
The Provincial Collection of Taxes Bill, based on the recent resolution, passed the report stage in the House of Commons.
lii the House of Lords, Lord llerscliell said the Government did not propose at once to introduce compulsory service. When the present enquiries were concluded they would not shrink from any steps necessary for the public safety.
