favour of it. He would therefore withdraw it on the ground of

insufficient support.

The Officer Administering the Government

then suggested that perhaps the Sub-Committee would be willing

to consider an alternative scheme which would commend itself to

those who had found themselves unable to support the scheme they

had been considering. Mr. Hough's suggestion that compulsory

military training shduld be applied to young men below a certain

T. F. Hough be invited to join the Sub-Committee. Mr. Hough

said he would have much pleasure in serving.

The Officer Administering the Government

Osborne, however, thought that the Sub-Committee was already

sufficiently large.

The Committee agreed that the Sub-Committee, re-constituted as above, should consider the question of
