WAR & CONSCRIPTION.
I SIR T. INSKIP’S SUPPOSED MEANING. LONDON, May 31. The political correspondent of the Associated Press states that conscription will be submitted to Parliament for instant introduction immediately war occurs —this is the actual meaning of Sir Thomas Inskip s statement in the House of Commons, the suddenness and unexpectedness of which, occurring in a minor debate when only 50 members were in the Chamber, caused exaggerated surprise which was stimulated by the Labour members’ attempt to seek political capital. Apart from the circumstances in which it was made, the statement contained nothing new. It did not go beyond Mr Chamberlain’s earlier declarations and does not alter the Government’s unequivocal assurances that conscription will not be introduced in peace time.
