Dominion Government Expands Military Service Act Reach
The Dominion Government announced amendments to the Military Service Act in an Order in Council. It brings 19 year olds under the act, calls 20 to 23 year olds to service, abolishes exemptions for them, while retaining class 1 rules for other ages. It also allows the Governor General in council to call other ages and grants leave without pay for family deaths or injuries. Foreign nationals with treaties may be called, and interim regulations aim to boost Canadian manpower quickly. Men turning 10 must report within ten days to registrars.
