If the principle of selective conscription is correct in the Army bill which is about to be introduced. I suggest that perhaps selective recruiting might be worthy of our attention. While much has been said with regard to the mine and the factory. it is yet true that in all the agricultural districts where .the .raising of beets for sugar production is carried on it is done almost wholly by foreign labor. much of which has not yet been naturalized. I confess that when I first read the bill there arose before me the picture of a recruiting officer in full dress. with the flag of his country floating over the recruitIng office. and I wonderetl if. after all. it might not produce in some parts of the country a difficulty of which we little dream at present. There are places where the feeling runs high. and. then.
