all Canada's resources i man power,
•tveapons, eguipmelit sad training fa-
cilities. The objective 4s' that Can-
ada may throw its increasdag military
Powell into the ,scale in the most ef4
fective- manner and .in the minimum
of time.
Colonel Ralson gave this as the gen-
eral. order of priority:
"First, the restreangt ening and the
adequate orealization of our fixed and
mobile defences' and aur armed forces
in the area of our Eastern Seaboard
and of the approaches of the St. Law-
r•ence. As will be immediately recog-
nized, this is our most vulnerable
area. Measures have been taken ac-
cordingly, and I can announce that a
Command Headquarters is being set
up immediately in the Maritimes, to
organize, control and co-ordinate for
o•perati.onal purposes the forces. in
this area. These will include the
Canadian Active Service Force and
the Non -Permanent lMilitia Forces
which are or will be located. there.
The bject is to use them to the hest
advantage, in conjunction with the -
coast defence forces, wherever an
attack shay _ threaten, . Included in
• this command will he the Canadian
Forces in 'Newfoundland:
"I need .hardly say that in pres-
ently concentrating increased energies
on the 'requirements of our -east cont
it is not- to be assumed for an in-
stant that the continued strngthen-
,ing aur our west coast ttences is
being in any -way overlooked.
"Secondly, but of equal importance,
and only., secondary in the matter of
immediate urgency, is the continued
+concentration. of our resources on the
training and equipping of the Cana-
dian Active Service - Force now- or-
ganized in this country. Where these
troops will eventually serve depends,
of course, on the developments of
the future. In the .meantime, our pol-
icy is to continue the training, and
equipping of these units eventually
as divisions., so that they may be
ready for 'operations 'in whatever the-
. 'etre they may be required, either in
`Canada or overseas:'`' The front line
is the Island Fortress of the British
Isles and we will, shortly have ' a
cores of two complete divisions and
auxiliary troops• in that front line.
The House may be interested 1 to
know that my advisees care d2flnitsly
of the opinion that it would not serve
the common cause at tide time.. to
have additional; Canadian Forces add-
e d to such a corps. It must be re-
membered that there is at the moan-
ent na shortage of• manpow e•• in Eng:
land. The real demand is for equip -
anent.
"I am giving away no s.ebret when
I state that 't is impossible for the
United Kingdom to make up iri two
or three weeks the losses of equip-
ment suffered by the gallant British
Exprditiona.ry Force during its epic
struggle in, and subsequent withdraw,
al from France.
"Consequently, quite apart,,, from
any question of Canadian• s•ecutnitywe
can make our ''best contribution' at
the present by traini'n'g and: equip-
ping our third and fourth Divisions
in this cauatry. . And so the "drive"
is to bring the' training and equip -
anent of the divisions now organized
in this country to the highest pos-
sible level in order that they• may
quickly be available for active• opera-
tions, whenever or .wherever the call
may come for their 'services.
"Thirdly, we must provide the max-
imum preliminary. training for the
available manpower of Canada. It is
o bvious' that this is a primary and
essentiai step in the preparation •of
the citizens of this country for 'the
_.
ultimate duty. they may he called up-
on to performr-khat of .. defending
their hearths and their homes against
the possible attack of a ruthless- en-
emy. That step is being taken now
and is one of the purposes of the••Na=
"'Inoue' Resources Mobilization, Act.
"Fourthly, we must not for a nnonr-
ent lose sight of the necessity in cer-
tain instances of military protection
to vulnerable paints and the relation
of the military forces to ;internal se-
curity. The matter of -internal secur-
ity le .principally • a police problem,
'but we are so arranging our organ-
ization that there shall be no gap be-
tweenethe 'resaans'ibility of the police
and the responsibility of the military
'forces to assist.

dromes, habgars and ether buildtings
for all schools, scheduled to open in
1941, wlhereas much sof this work was
going to be carried otit next year,
IMr. Power related., too,» how ships
of the .Canadian navy had had their
full share of onerous' and dangerous
•duties since the, outbreak of war.
Some had been assd'gued to the At-
lantic patrol, carrying out their im-
portant work in all sorts of weather
with remarkable efficiency and con-
spicuous courage. Others had done
duty in Caribbean waters. One de-
stroyer, the Fraser, went down in a
collision off Bordeaux. . Forty-five of
her crew were lost. Another Cana-
dian destroyer, the Restigouche, lis-
ti'nguished herself rescuing survivors
of the Arandora Star which was lost
while .carrying interned.., aidenss
(Munitions and Supply
"Canada's industrial tempo is, ' at
the highest peak in our history," Hon.
C.: LY. Howe, Minister of Munitions
and Supply, told the House as he de-
scribed how Canada aimed to be self-
contained in the production of war
'material. During the -past few months
machine tools had been bought in the
United States and Canada in a vol-
ume which challenged imagination.
And today's production, great as it
was, was small ,as compared. with
what productive capacity would -he six
months .hence..
Sixteen shipyards' were carrying out
a construction program for larger
warships. ,Major naval programs in-
cluded 54 corvettes for the Royal
Canadian Navy to the amount 'of
$29,400,000; 10 corvettes, for the Roy-
al Navy amounting' to $5,500,000 and
2S Minesweepers for the Royal Cana-
dian' Navy amounting to $16,500,000.
Of the corvettes„ several had already
been launched. Ten more would be
launched within'the next five weeks.
Three fast passenger vessels were
being,, converted • into armed• merchant
c n uise•rs at a cost ..of $1,700,000, , •
Expected:, cost of aerodrome con-
structions on the 77 projects ap•prov-
r.:l «=as: $15,500,000. Up to the pres-
ent, the projects had involved pur-
'chase of 30,000 acres of land at a
cost of approximately $2,000•,000•
Grading of the aeridromles would in-
volve moving 14,500,000 cubic ,yards
of earth. The paving pro.gr•am was
equivalent to nearly 700 miles • of
ere the titatee
gdae', there were -,tenntr
ineOIarahiofl, a iiolx hl the.
standard highway, 21 feet wide.
Lest week, Canadian" factories de -
livened 25 fini.shed aircraft. Eight
Canadian aircraft `companies had in
hand orders totalling 31200 planes of
which 257 had been delivered. Con-
tracts in hand involved approximate-
ly 110 million dollars. A production
of 360, planes per•month, or about 12
planes a day, was expected by early
in 1941.
Perhaps no • •country in the world'
was producing automotive 'equipment
in the volume that .now obtained in
Canada. Canadian Government orders
now placed for mechanical transport_
alone amounted to $54,500,000. Great
Britain, South Africa; India and other
parts of the British Empire wereale
so •tango• buyers.
British and Canadian •orders were
in hand for "Mark III" infantry tanks
to, a total value of'$63,000,000.
•Mr. Howe also gave these figure's:
"Since the outbreak of war, this
d,epartntent and its predecessor
beards have purchased over 18, mil-
lion yards • of woollen and cotton
cloth, enough to stretch. from Ottawa
to Berlin and back again. This has
been, or is being, manufactured in-
to 400,000 service battle dress uni-
forths, 225,000 summer battle "dress
uniforms, 383,000 overcoats, `winter
and sumnner underwear and other it-
ems of clothing. Orders have been
placed for 850,000 pains of boots and
shoes and production has been stept
ped up to 30,000 pairs per week. Pro-
duction of battle ' dress is reaching
20,000 suits per week. Blankets are
beMng produced) at the rate of 30,000
pe- week; braces 18,000 per week;
caps 18,000 per week; service shirts
12,500 per week, and greatcoats 7,000
per week.
"It May 'be interesting • to note in
passing that 350,000 cattle have con-
tributed' their skins td make the nec-
essary quantity of shoes tv'orn by the
army, the navy and the air force."
• ' "'" "R'egistration
Honourable J. G. Gardifier, Minis-
ter of National War Services, explain-
ing plans for national regia;tration
and calls for compulsory military
training, said that as soon as pos-
sible after it was ascertained what
