Mr. ROGERS:

I will take notice of the questions and answer them later.

Privilege-Mr. Bruce

Mr. ROGERS:

It is not customary to disclose war office communications. The Canadian government has indicated its readiness to provide both railway and forestry troops.

1. It is not customary to announce government policy in answer to specific questions on the order paper.

2. Answered by 1.

3. Owing to the mobilization of the 3rd and part of the 4th divisions, the camps originally authorized for the non-permanent active militia units in June are being postponed. The question of non-permanent active militia camp training is now under consideration.

4. Answered by 3.

1. Officers with previous military experience, 546; airmen with previous military experience, 1,284.

2. Officers with war experience, 239; airmen with war experience, 219.

Mr. ROGERS:

It is the intention to establish recruiting centres in the interior of British Columbia at certain selected points in relation to certain units that will be included among those now being mobilized. Obviously I cannot give the house a statement of the various permanent recruiting stations which will be established. Normally they would be located Where there were either headquarters or subunits of the non-permanent active militia units. But if a certain part of the country, even under those conditions, finds itself discriminated against, I shall be very glad to consider the advisability of opening recruiting stations there.
