tion statistics are to be found in Chap-
ters IY to VI. Chapter VII is a gen-

duction, fisheries, mines and minerals,

Chapter XXI explains the various ser-
vices supplied by the Dominion and
Provincial Governments in the field ,of
public health. Chapter XXII on Post-
War Reconstruction and -the Rehabil-
itation of Ex-Service Personnel, is div-
ided into two distinct parts: Part
deals with the organization that has
been set up by the Dominion and Pro-
vincial Governments to study post-war
BLUEVALE •
reconstruction plans for industry and
the provision of. full employment; Part
II is restricted to the administration
by the Dominion Government of pro-
lems concerned with veterans' affairs,
Chapter XXIII deals with prices of
commodities and services, cost of living
and interest rates. The public finance
of Canada—Dominion, Provincial and

Au.
same remuneration as they could ex-
pect_ to earn for similar work in private
industry and so that rates in the var-
ious services will be uniform. Air Min-
ister Colin Gibson announced at Lon-
don.
Col. Gibson made his statement at a •
press conference for Canadian news-
papermen on the eve of his departure
for the continent to visit R.C.A.F. oc-
cupation squadrons.
He also said:
1. The withdrawal of nine R.C,A,F.
occupation squadrons from Europe will
begin in June under present plans. Af-
ter that, any commitments will be
much smaller and will be carried out-
solely by the permanent force and a
so-called "interim" air force.
2. Army commitment on the present
scale also is subject to revision with
the probability of a reduction-of occu-
pation strength to coincide with K.C.
A.F,'s June date,
3, Britain wants Canada to maintain
some occupation force in -Europe and
this is being considered.
4. Canada likely will maintain a
permanent air mission in London and
Washington, although on a relative!),
small scale.
5. There probably will be exchanges
of officers between the R.C.A.F., and
the R.A.R. to maintain close wartime
associations and to exchange informa-
tion.
6. There will be no continuation of
the wartime system under which most
Empire aircrew were trained in Can-
ada but the Dominion might operate
a winter flying school at which airmen
front other parts of the Commonwealth
would -be instructed:
7, One of the major problems yet to
be decided will be how closely the R.
C.A.F. should be integrated with the
United States Army Air Forces rather
han the R,A.F. in view of future re-
quirements for continental defence and
the carrying out of possible regional
military commitments under the Unit-
ed Nations Organization.
8. The R,C.A.F, plans to turn over
most of its airfields to the Canadian
Transport Department for civilian op-
erations but it is expected that Goose
Bay Airport in Labrador will continue
under R,C.A,F, jurisdiction because of
its startegic value.
