Jean
moved
an
amendment
urging
that
general
service
personnel
in
Canada
and
volunteers
be
used,
to
the
best
advantage
to
provide
reinforcements,
without
resorting
to
conscription.
The
important
fact
brought
out
in
Jean's
speech
was
his
declaration
that
conscription
Is
an
accomplished
fact
and
the
question
now
to
be
decided
by
Ihe
House-
'ls
whether
the
present
government
Is
to
remain
in
of-
tlcc
or
be
replaced
by
another.
Mr.
jean
openea
tne
way
lor
Quebec
Liberals
and
other
anti
conscriptlonlsts
to
express,
their
opposition
to
conscription'
without
voting
against
the
government
on
the
main
motion.
He
said
he
knows
there
are
many
members
In
the
Commons
who
still
favor
the
voluntary
system
of
enlistment
and
he
asked
that
his
amendment
be
accepted
so
that,
through
It,
they
could
express
their
opposition
to
conscription.
After
he
nad
moved
his
amendment,
Mr.
Jean
disclosed
that
he
ha.s
resigned,
as
Parliamentary
assistant
to
Justice
Minister
St.
Laurent.
Prime
Minister
King
said
he
had
accepted-
Mr.
Jean's
resignation
because
the
member
wished
to
be
released
from
duty
to
stand
out
as
doing
something
without
fear
or
favor
In
any
direction.
Mr.
King
said
he
was
not
at
all
sure
that
a
Parliamentary
assistant
should
resign
simply
because
he
moved
an
amendment
to
a
government
motion.
The
Prime
Minister
said
he
felt
a
Parliamentary
assistant
should
be
as
free
as
any
member
or
cabinet
minister.

ting
the
formation
of
a
Swedish
volunteer
corps
to

Germans
in

A
movement
inside
Sweden
to
persuade,
the
government
to
sanction
the
formation
of
a
vol
unteer
corps
gained
impetus
with
the
liberation
of
the
first
Norwegian
territory.
A
London
source
said
the
volunteer
plan
was
discussed
by
members
of
the
Swedish
and
Norwegian
governments
recently
In
Stockholm.
Leaders
of
the
movement
were
reported
to
be
Gunnar
Anders-son,
vice-president
of
the
Swedish
Trades
Union
Congress,
and
George
Brantins,
noted
Swedish
attorney.
A
Norwegian
government
source
here
commented
inai
Sweden
had
permitted
volun
teers
to
fight
In
Finland
and
added:
"There
is
no
reason
why
Swedish
volunteers
should
not
be
allowed
to
fight
in
Norway.
The
Norwegian
government
should
have
no
objection."
There
appeared
ho
immediate
prospect
of
Sweden
declaring
war
on
Germany,
despite
strained
relations.
The
Yorkshire
Post,
commented
that
Sweden,
with
one
of
the
best
winter
armies
In
Europe,
"could
carry
a
large,
useful,
and
chivalrous
share
of
the
sacrifices
yet
to
be
made,
at
a
time
when,
Nazi
brutality
may
be
expected,
ever
among
the
German
people,
to
be
at
Its
height."

some

street
in

for
as
long

twenty
years.
Police
are

the
motorists
say.
The
spate
of
warning

began
Co
appear
on
cars
in
the
dark
hours
of
Thursday
and
continued
Friday
night
as
members
of
the
city
force
made
a
"survey"
of
parking
practices
throughout
the
city.
The
survey
was
inspired
by
the
receipt
of
specific
complaints
that
parked
cars
were
creating
a
traffic
nuisance
in
various
parts
of
town.
No
prosecutions
have
resulted
from
the

of
tickets,

of
which

These

The

It

and

were
in
the
nature

and
a
half

son
whom
he

Mrs.
Caddlck
has
received
a
.
letter
from
England
telling
how
'
her
nephew
made
his
escape
from
the
clutches
of
the
Japanese.
'
He
was
on
a
Jap
trans-
port
carrying
prisoners
.of
war
which
was
torpedoed
by
a
Unl-
"
ted
States
submarine
In
Septem-ber
off
Singapore.
As
the
transport
went
down,
the
Japanese
took
good
care
to
see
that
they
.
themselves
escaped
but,
without
compunction,
they
left
the
Brl-
V
tlsh
prisoners
to
drown.
A
fejw,
-however,
were
rescued
by
the
Americans
and
Corp.
Halfhlds
happened
to
be
one
of
them.
Eventually
he
arrived
at
a
Scottish
port
aboard
a
large
transport.
He
was
perfectly
well
"
and
appreciative
of
the
splen-did
treatment
he
was
accorded
by
the
Americans
without
whom
he
would
never
have
got
home,
according
to
his
own
acknowledgement.
