on the now organisation.
The feature of the debate was a speech given by Mr. Leslie Hore- Bellsha.

Won't Be Late This Timo Mr. I. K, Law, Financial Secretary to the War Office, assured Mr. Hore Beltaha that the Government did not intend to be late this time.
The new force would be big enough to cover the whole country.
Its purpose was not to provide whole protection of the country against serial invasion but to per- form emergency duties pending the arrival of the regular forces.
Rifles would be kept in magazines an a measure of economy and to en- sure that no "Qualings" got posses- sion of the armis.
