DRAFTING MAY NOT BEGIN UNTIL THE PEOPLE HAVE PROVED OF MEASURE. AP- Parliament Realizes That a General Election is Inevitable--The Issue , Appears to be.Clearly Défined. Ottawa, July 26.--It is estimatéd that the Conscription Bill digcussion in the Upper House can be compass- ed in the space of a week. Then, as goon -as Royal assent is given, the measure will become law. It will, however, be put into operation only when the Government elects to issue a proclamation. There are divergent views 'as to when this proclamation will issue. Some powerful influences suggest that it be done right away, especially in view of the urgency upon which the whole legislation is based. On the other hand, it is pointed out that much preparatory work will be ne- cessary, and that if any difficulty is to attend the enforcement, the Gov- ernment's efforts will necessarily be distracted from the work of Parlia- ment and of the impending election campaign. The preliminaries will be attend- ed to, such as the constitution of boards of selection and the appellate tribunals to hear exemption claims, but there is considerable doubt whe- ther much else will be done until the people pronounce at a general election, The sweeping majorities roiled up, both for the second and final reading, of 63 and 67 respect- ively, are interpreted as giving the bill the popular lead and . moral force which' are 'desirable for its successful carrying qut. Parliament has settled down' to realize that a general election is in- evitable, and the temper of the House to some extent reflects what is coming on the outside. The issue already is very clearly defined, and it will stick. A Canadian Association.
