OTTAWA, Dec. 1.——Canada’s
conscription crisis cooled off today
as discipline was declared restored
among rebellious draftee troops on
the west coast and an appeal for
calm went out to the people of
Quebec from one of their foremost
anti-conscriptionist leaders.
In Quebec, however, it was
announced last night that the
provincial government had
adopted an order-in-council
asking the federal government
“to respect and fulfill its solemn
engagements and sacred pledg-
ee against conscription for
overseas service.”
The order, forwarded to Prime
Minister W L. Mackenzie King, de-
clared the Quebec government ac-
tion reflected "the opinion of the
immense majority" of the province s
population.
Here in Ottawa parliament con-
tinued debate on King’s motion for
confidence on his new policy of
partial conscription. It now appear-
ed a vote would not be taken until
early next week.
Maj. Gen. G. R. Pearkes, chief
of the Pacific command, return-
to Vancouver yesterday after
visits to draftee army camps at
Prince George and Terrace,
British Columbia, and reported
the situation quirt after nearly
a week of disorders.
The anti-conscription ist view of Another French spokesman, el-
the French-speaking minority of -
Canada was laid before parliament
last night by one of its most elo-
derly Maxine Raymond, leader of
Abilene Pilot Makes Safe Landing
In Crippled, Bomb-Laden Marauder
A NINTH AIR FORCE BOMBER
BASE, France—Capt. Ernest W.
Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
W. Wilson Jr., of 2026 So. 19th
street. Abilene, recently landed his
crippled plane at this airstrip in
CAPT. ERNEST W. WILSON
France without benefit of the nose
landing gear—and carrying a full
bomb load.
Returning from u mission
over Germany in close support
of General Patton’s Third Ar-
my, Captain Wilson had not
dropped his bomb load due to
poor visibility over the target.
Circling the field, he got his
main landing gear down, but
the nose wheel wouldn't ex-
tend. After circling the strip
several times in an unsuccessful
attempt to shake the stubborn
BOSS wheel into place, he came
la for a landing. %
Wilson delicately balanced the
swiftly rolling B-26 Marauder bomb-
er the entire run of the strip, then
set the tail down. When the plane
tipped to one side, the right wing
cracked. But no one was injured.
“I hope I can get those bombs
back over Germany tomorrow," he
said. Captain Wilson’s wife, Marie,
resides in Albuquerque, New Mex.
The captain entered the Army
Air Forces as a private in 1941. He
holds the Air medal with seven
Oak Leaf clusters and is a flight
leader.
quent spokesmen, F. J. A. Cardin,
former works and transport minis-
ter. who resigned in 1942 over the
conscription issue.
In the face of sporadic disorders
in Quebec, he appealed to his people
to avoid damaging property and
endangering lives.
Cardin, who has served for 33
years in the house, longer ban any
other member, declared that "unity
has been maintained, due to con-
cessions made by French-Canadians
in this house of commons and else-
where." He asked "where are your
concessions, you British Canadians,
in favor of French Canadian-’ ’
“Why," asked Cardin, “should we
try to compete in a race with Brit-
aln, the United States and Russia
to win the laurels of victory x x x
when in reality we are only a colony
of the British empire, and not to
t"!! x x x an Independent coun-
Cardin closed with an appeal to
his French-speaking compatriots,
"whatever their sentiments, x x x
to be calm, to take things easy, to
reflect before acting x x x"
the txereme Nationalist Bloc Pop-
ulsire party, expressed the view of
many Frenchmen by declaring:
"The latest measure of the
government will alignment the
disunion which already exists. I
A country has a right to force
its subjects to fight in the de-
fense of the country, but not
in the defense .f the country of
others."
Both Quebec speakers took the
view that Canada waa trying to do
too much in the war for a notion
of her size.
