Souris Veteran Returns liome After long ‘War Service

A veteran of both the Sicilian and Italian campaigns. Pte. Frank Praught of Sourls reached the City last night en route to his home. He was met at the station by his wife and Mr. James T. Robison of the Veterans‘ Welfare Division.

Pte. Praught enlisted March I. 1040 and after some weeks of train- ing at Petawatva left without em- barkation leave for England. There he joined the 1st Field Company. He landed in Sicily in the assault on that island July l0. 1D43...Whan Sicily had been cleaned up he was rent to Italy in the second wave landing in Italy on September 3rd.

He participated in the battles of Campobasso and Ortona and in the assaults upon the Gustav and llitler Linea. On June 17 of this year he was invallded to the 14th General Hospital in Italy where he remained ten days. From there he was sent to the 22nd General Hospital in England. A fcw weeks ago he was "boarded out" for medi- cal reasons and sent home in an En- glish hospital ship.

Pte. Prauglit has a poor opinion of the fighting quality of the Ital- ian soldier. The German soldier. he said. was a "different matter." The German would fight hard and. w lone as he had a chance. to the very last.

Dttavva Papers Say King Unlikely To Demand Vote

_.__.

OTTAWA, Nov. 14 — (CP) The Ottawa ‘Citizen and Ottawa Journal in newspage stories on the assembling of the House of Com- mons on Nov. 22 today said Prime Minister Mackenzie King, instead of insisting on a vote of confid- ence on the voluntary system of reinforcements, will place the facts before the House and be governed by whatever decision the House makes.

The Journal said:-

"When the House resumes, Mr. King will state his position in support of continuation of the voluntary system of reinforcing the army.

"But having long underlined his belief in the sovereignty of Parlia- ment, Mr. King will qualify his position by making it clear at the outset that if the House wants conscription he will accept it.

"Then should the House de- cide that the ‘Zombies’ must be sent overseas to immediately rectify the army‘s reinforcement shortage, the decislon_\vou.ld be Parliament's, not Mr. King's.

“And the vote would not be one involving 'confidence’." The Citizen sa '-

“It is the stated intention of the Government ‘to place all the facts before the House‘ and bc governed by its decision in the light of information which ls given and the discussion which takes place.

"The House is not being recali- ed for the specific purpose of asking a vote of confidence in the Government's policy, as it has been outlined. It is not being called. either. to endorse a policy of conscription. Rather, it is izc- lng brought back so that the sit- uation, as it exists at the time that the members are here, may be fully revealed. and discussed. Woot- ever action is taken will be in the light of t eso discussions. ~-"’l'he and! tanding is that the door -is not shut against any

plicy which Parliament, when l‘.

as the facts, may deem it wise to take."
