MEN THE NATION NEEDS. < Government's Latest Proposals. IRELAND CALLED UPON TO ASSIST. I I The Prime Minuter submittal to the House of Commons on Tuesday the man- power proposals of the Government to meet the emergency caused by the Ger- man onslaught on our Armies in France. They can be summarised' in the following av:- i.-ADMINI.STRATIVE. (Juota for First Quartor.We have raised during the first quarter more than its proportion of the original number of men estimated, as tho minimum re- quired. Munition Workers.—We are making a very strict comb-out of some of the essential industries. A very large levy is beinjj: taken from the munition works; it will amount to something like 100,000 Grade 1 men. I Miners.—A call for it),Doo men has bean made from the coal industry. Military needs will necessitate the calling up of another 50,000. Transport Services.—To be called upon to release the grc-atest possible number of fit men. Civil Service.—Further calls to be made. It is proposed that no lit man below the age of ;2,) shall be retained. There will be a comb-out beyond that. Exemptions Cancelled.—We are issuing order* under theht Act cancelling oc- cupational exemptions in selected in- dustries by age blocks. Callmg-up Notices.—Period to be short- ened from 14 days to seven. Appeal on Medical Grounds.—It may be necessary to curtail this riaht, )I.-NEW LEGISLATION PROPOSED. I Military Age.—To be raised to 50. In I eertain specified cases we shall ask for power to raise the age to 55. but that is only w here men with special qualifica- tions. such as medical men. are needed. Clean Cut.-It is provided that his Majesty may, by proclamation declaring that a national emergency has arisen, direct that any certificate of exemption shall cease to have effect. This is an- other means of arriving at a clean cut to as to secure tit young man for the Army; the men wiU be taken or left on medical grounds only. rihunls.-W e proposes to take power to recoiwiitut4 the tribunals, to regulate their areas of work, to standardise the grounds of exemption, and to limit the rights of appeal. Local tribunals, like appeal tribunals, will become nomin- ated bodies, and will be reduced in size. .'Ministers of Religion.—To be brought withiiy the Act for non-combatant ser- vice. 7fhe Minister of,National Service will A j't in concert with the aiihorities of tkqe different denominations- to se- cure the retention of an adequate staff for religious ministrations in the eountry. I.-PROPOSALS FOR IRELAND. Military Service.—We propose to extend the Service Acts to Ireland under the same conditions as in Great Britain. As there is no machinery in existence, it may take some weeks before actual enrolments begin, but when the ar- Mmsenjenta are complete, the Govern- ment will, by Order in Council, put the Act immediately into operation. IBclf-Government.—The Convention has I reported by a majority, but I fear that it is not such as to justify the Govern- ment in saying that it represents sub- stantial agreement. That means that the Government must accept the re- sponsibility of submitting to Ilarlia-i ment with such guidance as the re- port of the. Convention affords, such proposals for the establishment of self- i government in Ireland as are just and can be carried without violent contro- versy. We propose at an early date to invite the House of Commons to pate I such a measure with the least possible delay. I. A DECISIVE BATTLE. j Gefmans Staking All on Great I Conflict. In the course of his speech, which lasted I nearly two hours, Mr. Lloyd George said: It is too early to say yet with accuracy wliat the losses are, but with the vast I number of men engaged they are bound to ibe considerable. Sir Douglas H Rig- has assured me that the enemy's claims re- garding prisoners are preposterous, but 6till the drain on our reserves has been considerable, and we have to make up the "wastage and refit our depleted units. The immediate anxiety is relieved by the splendid and generous contribution with which America ha.s come to our aid, but her forces are simply lent, and the time i? cominiz when we shall need large rein- forcements. The enemy must know what it means if he fails at this juncture. He has taken the plunge, and has definitely decided to of,k a military decision this year, -whatever the consequences to himself. He is now at the height of his power, There are still seven or eight months during which the fight can c-ontinue, and everything depends on our keeping our strength right to the end. Whatever the drain on our resources, with American aid we can do it. KAISER'S BOAST. I It was reported to rue on good authority that the Kaiser informed the ex-King Constantine, I shall bnt them. for they have no united command," which shows that that waa what the Germans were relying in the main upon-that, although their numbers were slightly inferior, they knew the importance to be attached to the fact that there was a perfectly united command. WORK FOR MINISTERS. To Tend the Sick and Wounded. I There is a shortage of fit men very largely for the service of the sick and wounded, and I am perfectly certain that ministers of religion would not care to feel that they were exempted from the obligation to serve, and especially to ren- der service of this kind in the battlefield. We have consulted several authorities on the subject, and some of them whom it has been my privilege to communicate with seem to feel that certainly mini- sters of religion would be the last men in the world to claim exemption from an obligation of that kind. It is obvious if this chamre is made that care must be taken not to put an end to religious ministrations in the country, and it has been arrange d for this purpose that the Minister of National Service shall en- dearour to act in oonfort with the authorities of the different denominations, so that in every denomination an ade- quate staff should be reserved. PRUSSIANISM DOOMED. I do not say that if by any chance or miechance this colossal battle went against us the war would be over, because, AS long as we have a ship afloat we shall Bot accept a German peace—(cheers)— but if the battle is won, as I believe it will-to, the doom of Prussianism will be se&1&0. If we wish to avoid the war last- ing Vor years this battle must be won now—(cheers.)—and to win we mu&t be ready to throw in all our resources. The men we propose taking to-day may well Ílr) the means of winning the decisive vic- tory of the war. FIRST READING. The first reading secured a majority of i 213. THE EXEMPTIONS. I New Order Withdrawing .1 Certificates. The Minister of Natioiial Service has, I under the power conferred on him by the Military Service Act., 1918, mado an order withdrawing exemptions from mili- tary service held wholly or partly on occupational grounds by certain men of various ages employed in a large num- ber of oc-cupat-ong who are in medical categories. A, J31, or medical grades 1 and 2, or who have not been medically ex- amined. The order which is far-reaching in its effect, came into force on Tuesday, and provides that the exemptions. of the men concerned are withdrawn as from April 2k after which date the men will be called up for military service. "The current regulations provide that applications for renewal of exemptions withdrawn by the Order (which" can be made on authorised personal grounds only) may be lodged within seven days of withdrawal—that is to say, in this case by May 1. A decertified man has no right I to apply for renewal of exemption on oc- cupational grounds, nor has his employer any right to make such an application on lids behalf. 1, A limited discretion has been iriven to eMh Director of Narona.l Service in the regions into which Great Britain i< divi- ded to suspend the calling up of a deerti- fied man who is employed on Government contract for urgent war supplies. Appli- oattaDe for this suspension must be made A pril 24 in a special form, and sus- pension will only be granted under excep- tional conditions. Penalties are provided under the Defencp of the Realm Regula- tions for any false or misleading repre- sentations. Particulars of the Jarza number of trades an.1 occupations affected by the Order. the manner in which applications may be made in respect of men on Gov- ernment contracts, and the addresses to which tmch applications should be sent. nre fullv set out in the notes appended to the Order, Every man holding an exemption on occupational ground's, and every em- ployer of such men, should take steps to become acquainted with the terms of the Order. Copies of the Order will be avail- able for inspection at any of the National Service Offices and at the employment exchanges before the end of this week, and arrangements are being made under which official copies published by the Stationery Office-will be on sale through newsagents and bookstalls by the begin- ning of next week. The Order does not affect the calling up of coal miners, port transport workers, or holders of protection certificates under the schedule of protected occupations." PROTECTED MEN. Men who hold protection certificates are the of certain ages engaged in epeci- fied capacities in the following occupa- tic,116 Shipbuilding and repairing; mining and Quarrying; metal manufacture; en- gineering (including marine, boiler, agri- cu Ittural implement, erection, repair and xr maintenance of plant); riveters and platers; fitters and tool-makeri; turners and m-etal machinists; electricians; foundry workers; smiths and forge makers: railway magon makers, aircraft makers; instrument makers; chain makers; bolt, nut. screw and rivet makers; dairy appliances; machine-gun, rifle. and pistol makers; wire manufac- ture; certain wood-working trades: brush manufacture; chemicals and explosives; drugs; lead and zinc compounds: lubri- cants; soap; rubber; paper; leather tan- ning and currying: textile and allied trades; linen thread; surgical dressings; chemical ware; engine men, shunters; boiler men. and crane drivers; glass; light and power undertakings and the administrative and technical staffs by tirms engaged in thw industries. MEN OF 55. I understand (writes a. London corre- J spondent) that special classes of men up to 55 years whom it is intended to take under the man-power proposals are medical men and those skilled in accounts who may be of service in the Army Service Corps. MEN OVER 40 No, Home  Choice. No Home Service Choice. The Minister of National Service an- nounces that in view of the introduction of the Military Service Bill, raising the age for compulsory service, the recruit- ment of men over the present military age for home service only has been dis- continued. Ilen over the present military age can still offer themselves for enlistment, and they are urged to do so, but it must be distinctly understood that they will only be accepted for service in accordance with current instructions applicable to men of the present military age. IRISH OPINIONS. "The Government Have Governed" Commenting on the proposed conscrip- tion in Ireland, the Irish Times says: We are sure the Government, did not reach its decision without having made its plans to overcome, it cannot propitiate any resistance which "may be offered. Oly one thing could be mere unfortunate than the total exemption of this country from compulsory service, viz., the enact- ment of compulsion and subsequent hesi- tation to enforce it in the face of law and disloyal threats." "Freeman's Journal" says: "The Go- vernment have governed." The "Irish IndLtpendant says: "Apart from the broad question 8JS it affects the whole country, a question of special in- terest to Ireland is the position of the clergy and the male religious communities under the Bill. The Vaeie of the Govern- ment's policy is fill) apparent that all its intentions are suspect. No Ministry that over ruled Ireland since penal days has more justly incurred the execrations of a people whose liberties are sacrificed to a mean expediency." I ULSTER UNIONISTS. The Ulster Unionist members met on Tuesday night under the presidency oi Sir Edward Carbon, and unanimously passed a.resolution approving of the en- forcement of compulsory service in Ire- land*
