§ Sir H. GREENWOODI understand that the proposal is still under consideration by the United States Congress.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs it not a fact that nothing definite has been settled in regard to this matter, and is not the statement of the right hon. Gentleman the Minister for War that America has retained conscription very premature, if not to say completely false?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThe Minister for War is on the front Bench, and that question should be addressed to him.
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYIs it not the case that the Military Affairs Committee has rejected the proposal?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMight I address my question to the Minister for War?
