MEIGHEN
ACCEPTS
Agrees
to
Take
Conservative
Leadership
Favors
Conscription
and
National
Government
TORONTO,
Nov.
13:
Senator
Arthur
Meighen
last
night
accepted
the
leadership
of
the
Conservative
party
in
Canada
and
at
the
same
time
declared
himself
as
favoring
compulsory
selective
service
over
the
whole
field
of
war.
He
came
out
also
in
favor
of
the
formation
of
a
non-party
national
government,
declaring
that
there
should
be
no
party
government
at
this
time
of
national
emergency
if
any
other
could
be
formed.
Senator
Meighen,
in
becoming
Conservative
leader,
succeeds
Hon.
R.
B.
Hanson,
who
retired
on
account
of
ill
health.
Compulsory
selective
service
and
formation
of
non-party
government
ate
issues
receiving
new
emphasis
today
as
a
result
of
Senator
Meighen's
acceptance
of
the
leadership
of
the
Conservative
party.
In
announcing
his
acceptance
of
the
leadership
last
night
and
that
he
would
urge
"compulsory
selective
service
over
the
whole
field
of
war,"
Mr.
Meighen
said
that
the
present
government
could
not
bring
the
nation
to
maximum
war
endeavor.
"If
a
strong
ministry
on
a
wider
basis
can
be
formed,
party
control
can
no
longer
be
justified
and
should
not
be
tolerated,''
he
said.

the
report

Commission
which
said
that
two
routes
had
been

A
and
B,
and
were
feasible
but
Route
B
would
best
fulfil
the
purpose
of

The

had
found
that
Route
B
woulcj
mean
a
highway
of
about
1700
miles
and
Route
A
about
1900
miles.
The
cost
of
the
highway
completed

of

was
estimated
at
from
$25,000,000

was

on
suitable
