CONSCRIPTION BILL GOES TO THE LORDS
London, May 22.
A motion that Britain's first peacetime conscrip
tion bill be rejected was defeated tonight in the House of Commons by a vote of 232 to 44 and the measure was given its third and final reading. The bill now goes to the House of Lords.
In moving the final reading of the bill to call up 200,000 conscripts a year for 12 months' ser- vice in the armed forces, the Defence Minister, Mr. A. V. Alexander, told the House that the country's first peacetime conscription: bill! would show the world that Britain was ready at all times to defend herself against aggres- sion.
