Each military district is to have â€" one company of 250 men. The Province of Ontario, with nearly four million people, will have a home guard of 750. The Toronto Military District alone embraces the whole of Central Oontario, with a population of perhaps two million. Is one company of 250 atlequate for that? It is true the force can be expanded if ciroumstances deâ€" marx«l it, but the rewcherms Nazis might not wait. The Minister of Justice t.hmks he has trol.
