London, June 22.
Mr. Ernest Brown, Minister of Labour, revealed in the House of Commons today that out of slightly less than 50000 militiamen examined up to June 19, over 83 per cent. were passed as grade one.. Out of the remainder, he said, about half only were slightly defective. The total, therefore, called up for training was 925 per cent, Many of the remainder were fit for certain selected occupations with the forces, concluded Mr. Brown, and the number completely unfit was only 2.6 per cent. of the total.—Reuter, King,
