SUCCESSFUL EU CHRE AND DRAW TESTON Communion Sun- ,I’c is a sad commentary on world developments when a country natur. ally so friendly and pacific as Can- ada has to be even considering such things. We have no quarrel with anyone. No doubt the government’s defence policy is being mou‘led with an eye both to the sentiment of the Canad. ian people, and the world situation. If the latter grows more tense, dras. tic action may be forced upon a gov. ernment which is essentially peace- Ful and realistic in its intentions. H the tension eases off in Europe, it will be easier to resume our habitual friendly nonâ€"military attitude. (Probable Action) Pending official forecast, I would expect that the defences of Halifax and“ Saint John, of the Pacific Coast, and of other strategic points will be strengthened, that coastal batteries will be increased, that anti-aircraft guns will be installed. The recent purchase of seven bombers and the ordering of five modern flying boats suggests that attention is to be paid the aerial defence of Canada, which, the experts say, must come mainly from flying craft rather than from stationery guns. The equipment of the militia will almost certainly re- ceive some attention at the coming session. The appronriations for the Minister of National Defence are bound to be increased. My own guess would be that fleets of deâ€" stroyers will not be purchased. al- though as against this there has been at least one dispatch from London which reports this to be on the govâ€" ernment agenda. ate a small modern fighting machine for the defence of Canada, there will be a great outcry from other quart. ers. The government will be asked why, if it can so easily produce 100 millions for such a purpose, whyi it cannot find work for all, or start old age pensions at sixty, or build the terminal at Montreal, or half a dozen other things. And‘ if, seeking to compromise, the government just does a few of the most obvious things, it will probably not please anybody. ‘ slx modem (HV‘iSlOnS o1 mnma, \Van equipment. plus :1 small flcef of (leâ€" stroyersv on each coast, and a 100 modern fighting aeroplanes. In ad. dition there would be a heavy annual upkeep. At present the whole cost of our national defence department is about 20 million dollars a year. (Sure To Be Criticized) No matter what policy the govern- ment works outâ€"and it may' decide not; to formulate anything definite until parliament has had time 10 mull over the matterâ€"there will be groups and parties to criticise it. If nothing is done, the jingoes and im- perialists will hold up our leaders to ridicule for their pacifist and un- preparedness tactics. If the govern- ment goes the whole hog, and: asks parliament to vote sufficient to are- It would mean taking on the Unit. ed Kingdom and the United States, which, combined, are perhaps the two most powerful nations in the world in resources if not in actual fighting equipment. Again, what enemies has Canada? Those who are to argue against doing anything in the coming session will be able to put up a strong- case. (Canada’s Armament) There is, too, the idea that a good deal of Canada’s strength lies in her careful avoidance of any military gestures. Canada has next to noth~ ing in the way of war machine. You can summarize our armaments in one sentence. Two destroyers in action, two more ordered, seven fighting planes, five more ordered, 140 train- ing and other peacetime airships, less than 4,000 of a permanent mili- tia, a nonâ€"permanent militia. newly organized but possessing no equip- ment, to speak of. Practically no antiâ€"aircraft guns. People who have worked these 100 m It is quite possible that nmhing much will be done about it. But the more likely event is that some con- cession will be made to those who feel Canada should at least have a modern nucleus of fighting equip- ment, especially in the air. More attention is almost certain to be paid to the defences of the East and West coasts. There are those who the it for granted that Canada’s pOSition is so strong that we have no reason to be alarmed, even though world arma. ment goes madly on. We are re- minded of the strength of the British commonwealth, of the British navy. Our contiguity with: the might and extent of the United States is also stressed. Who would attack Canada? much time will be taken up in the coming session talking about the threat of war and Canada’s national defence policy.

In recognition that such a sacrifice would be called for, instructions were issued that the traditions, battle hon- ours: and names of the old- militia regiments should be preserved as far as possible. The greatest care has been taken to carry out this! instruc- tion in the case of regiments which have had to be amalgamated or con- vex-ted- to other forms.” Farâ€"reaching Changes Under the re-organization the fol- lowing changes will be effective-â€" Infantry and Machine Gunszâ€"One hundred and thirtyiive infantry and on. Ian MacKenzie, Canada’s Minister of National Defence, has announced farâ€"reaching changes in the establishment of the country’s defence forces.

Will be the distinctive feature of the Dominion’s military units in the future, and the compact little military organization which Parliament authorizes will be capable of rapid, fully equipped movement at short notice. Famous Units Fade Out The reorganization, involving, as it does, consolidation of personnel and reduction of mampower, makes necessary the discontinuance of a number of non-permanent militia units which have established fame and tradition during past years.
