' For these reasons, aside from our deep feeling Of loyalty'
to the Empire and its 'high purposes, it is ,fitting that Ford
Motor Company of Canada, Limited should give. whole-
hearted support to the. national war effort.
From the very beginning this has been our courses Even ,
before war was declared, in co-operation with. officers -of •
-the Department of National, Defence, we laid in our plant.
the groundwork of military production: ° Since ~conflict -

iS increasing rapidly.
We are now engaged in supplying approximately 35,000
motorized vehicles of marry types; of which -10,000 are for
the Canadian .government and 2.5,000 for other Empire
governments.
We are constructing at our own expense a $700,000
plant d ft en to prob r de catties for theThnilding
Universal machine gun carriers of which we have under-
;- taken to deliver fifty a week to the Canadian government
as 'soon as .production., can be started. This addition will •
also enable us to increase production of other, types of
militar-'y vehicles. Our affiliated companies with plants in
South Africa, :Australia, - New Zealand, ' India, and Malaya'.
'are similarly engaged,in Empire' service.
Beyond' our manufacturing . facilities . we have been for.
tunately able to contribute skilled man -power. From our
Canadian and overseas .organization,. engineers . and men
with special training in transport and other lines' are
rendering valuable service.
Major adjustments in our busines,s7have .been necessary
'through loss of export trade andbecause of domestic taxa -••-

• the president of the Canadian ,Company has shown perhaps as keen a desire to assist in Canada's war effort as anyc: tizen o _,

this Dominion has done. His corporation since the outbreak of the war has done andis doing very to ortant work for Canada's
.war effort, in the way of building motor: train 0rrs and Uniwersah:carriers. The c'anyy.has placed .itself entirely in the hands.
., of the government as to the terms of the contract which it has had.
"A contract, providing for a fixed price aslow as we could find any basis.for asking, was worked out; an overriding provision
was inserted that the books of the Company would be audited and if the stipulated price produced a profit more than a s„sry low •
-percentage indeed; that prance would be scaled down accordingly. In; other -words,, the work -o€ -the Ford Motor Company. of Canada,
