The
issue
was
not
one
of
conscription,
declared
Mr.
King,
but
to
give
Parliament

the

a

The
plebiscite
offered
a
great
opportunity
to
show

uni-lty
of

It
was
desirable
to
demonstrate
this
unity
In
unmistakable
terms
not
only
to
the
enemy
but
to
the
Allies,
par
ticularly
to
the

Mr.

predicted

would

If
this
was

there
