In the last few remaining days of the present year Parliament has such a great number of im- portant matters to dispose of that it will have to Work at high pressure

The debate began yesterday afternoon about the recruiting law, the purpose of which is to increase the duration of compul sory military service from 12 to 18 months for those recruits who would normally be released from service in 1935; and from 1936 onwards the period of service should be two years until 1940. After 1940 the period of service is to be reduced again by stages, at the discretion of the War Minister, in accordance wille the pre- vailing foreign political situation.
