If they are not absorbed before their class is called they will train the same as everyone else. In one year, therefore, approximately 300,000 men will have received initial training. These 300,-000 men are to be regarded as the vanguard of a mighty Canadian army which will be available to defend this country. There are difficulties in. withdrawing so many men from normal life of the community even for the comparatively short period of training but difficulties cannot be allowed to obscure the goal to be reached. This is the beginning, not the end, of a policy. The plan has been worked out so that it can be slowed down or speeded up as circumstances require. There are difficulties, also, in building quarters and manufacturing the equipment for this citizen army. Every effort is being made to guard against failure on either account. One of the difficulties of the plan is the shortage of competent instructors to train these men. Several thousand instructors will be required. The problem has been foreseen and some schools have already been established. The instructors are being drawn from N. P. A. M. units and ex-service men. fcada under th Mobilization Act.
