Canadian Government Inereases Output of War Materials
Army Will Use Ten
Million Gallons of
Gas In Two Months
Field Kitchens Expected To
Use 10,000 Cords of
Fire Wood
Fort Bragg?The Fort Bragg quar
termaster will call for bids in the
near future on more than ten million
gallons of fuel and lubricants for use
by the First Army during its Octo
ber-November maneuvers in North
and South Carolina, it was announc
ed today by Colonel Samuel I Zeid
ner, post quartermaster.
Leading the list of needed supplies
are eight and one-half million gal
lons of high test automotive fuel for
the hundreds of trucks, reconnais
ance cars and other vehicles the First
Army will operate.
Bids are also sought on 200,000 gal
lons of airplane fuel for use by the
tank units. Airplane fuel, of high oc
tane content, is used in tanks, Captain
H. H. Hutchinson, purchasing officer
for the Fort Bragg Quartermaster,
said, because the combustion princi
ples of tank and airplane engines are
similar.
An additional 550,000 gallons of
white (plain) gasoline will be used
in field ranges and for other pur
poses. When used in field ranges,
white gas is first vaporized and gives
off a smokeless flame.
The Quartermaster Corps will al
so purchase 10,000 cords of wood for
field kitchens. Present plans. Captain
Hutchinson said, are to procure this
wood in counties where the camps
wlil be located and, if possible, from
landowners in that immediate vicin
ity.
To keep the vast amount of ma
chinery running smoothly, producers
will be asked to supply 855,000 gal
lons of lubricating oil; 170,000 gal
lons of gear oil and 260.000 pounds
of grease.
Since the maneuvers will be con
ducted, in part, during winter wea
ther, bids will also be asked on 34,
500 galluns of antifreeze. Four thous
and gallons of cleaning solvent will
be used.
Col. Zeidner said all fuel and lu
bricant deliveries will be made l.y
bulk distributing plants in the vi
cinity of the camps by agents wan
have exclusive selling rights in those
areas. Generally, he added, these
sales territories embrace single coun
ties. The supplies will be moved to
railheads serving the various com
bat forces by rail and motor trans
port.
There are now advance units and
skeleton organizations stationed at
each proposed camp in the North
Carolina maneuver, area, doing pre
liminary work such as receiving sup
plies and making the sites ready for
occupancy next month. ?
The First Army maneuvers in the
North Carolina area will get under
way on October 3, with approximate
ly 165,000 troops in the field. This
number will increase tu about -250,
000 during the first part of Novein
ber and will reach its all-time hit

Commercial Trucks
Increase In Numbers
Although the nation may soon feel
the pinch of ne\y-car "shortages,"
caused by passenger-car production
cuts as vital materials are diverted
to defense channels, the country's
"second line of defense"?commer
cial trucks?-will roll off assembly
lines in even greater numbers this
year than last, as they are exempt
from OPM quotas The importance
of light trucks?the familiar butch
er's, tailor's and druggist's delivery
cars?to the nation's civilian wel
fare has been pointed out and pro
duction of these vehicles has in
creased 550 per cent in the last 15
years, while 1940 passenger-car pro
duction was actually one and a half
per cent under the 1925 figure. In
other words, in 1925 there were 78
passenger cars built for every light
truck; in 1940 this ratio had dropped
to 12 pasenger cars for every truck.
Argentina industries controlled by
Nazis are listed as worth $455,000,
000. ____
of approximately 300,000 men
through November 30.
In both the Fort Bragg and Fort
Jackson maneuver areas there will
be some 500,000 troops, nearly one
j third of the United States' continent

Of I lie War
Ottawa. Canada.?On September
lOtb. twn years ago. Canada went to
war with Germany. The Dominion's
12.00U.00U people are observing this
week as a week of "reconsecration'1
to the democratic cause.
Canadians look back upon two
years of steady preparation and con
siderable achievement. Two years
ago the Dominion's sailors, soldiers
and airmen, including reserves, num
bered fewer than 70,000. Today, in
cluding reserves, they total 490.000.
Of these. 320.000 have voluntarily
enlisted for service anywhere, and
more than 100.000 are already over
seas. In addition, single men aged 21
to 24. not already enlisted for serv
ice anywhere, are being drafted for
the home defense army. They are
given four months' training, after
which they are kept in uniform and
posted to the army for service in
Canada for the duration of the war.
They may volunteer for service
the active army
Thi> Canadian Navy, which now
musters 250 ships as compared with
13 two years ago, has been in action
since the day Canada went to war.
It has assisted in convoying ships
carrying more than 30.000.000 tons
of supplies across the Atlantic and its
ships have been operating in waters
around the British Isles and in oth
er parts of the seven sens. They have
sunk enemy submarines, rescued
passengers ami crews from torpe
doed Vessels, captured several en
emy ships and caused others to bo
scuttled. In these operations the navy
has lost three ships and 330 men
Three Canadian army divisions
and a tank brigade stand guard in
Britain Five times in April and June.
1940. Canadian troops were , on the
point of seeing action on the conti
nent of Europe, but the military sit
uation prevented their meeting the
enemy. The Canadian army overseas
is at present in Britain because it is
regarded us an essential part ol Brit
ish defenses at this time.
Canadian airmen in the H.A.F.
have been taking part in the air war
since the beginning of hostilities.
They have fought over Britain, Ger
many, France. Nazi-occupied torri
tniies. (lii'iej Libya and Norway.
They played a prominent part at
Dunkirk In the last two years the
number of Canadians in the R A F.
has been greatly increased by the
arrival of contingent after contingent
of graduates of the British Com
monwealth Air Training Plan. Also,
Royal Canadian Air, Force squad
rons have been operating in Britain j
since early in 1940 A large number |
of such squadrons are now overseas.
Canadian airmen have shot down an
unofficial total of more than 200
enemy planes. In addition to Cana
dians in the R A F who have given
thojr lives the R.C.A.F. has listed
392 killed and 134 missing.
The British Commonwealth Air
Training Plan is now operating at
peak capacity with 90 training
schools, 100 airfields and 124 estab
lishments of all kinds Twice as
many pilots, gunners and observers
as originally planned for this time
have been turned out, and the rate
is continually increasing. At some
air training -schools one plane leaves
the ground every twenty seconds.
Canada provides about 80 per cent
of the air crew, and of these about
8 per cent are Americans, w ho wear
a distinguishing badge, "US A." on
the shoulder. Many of these Ameri
cans along ?ilh a large number of
their countrymen who have joined
the Canadian army, are already ov
erseas. Australian, New Zealand and
British airmen also train in Canada.
To supply these armed forces Can
adian industry has turned itself ov
er to u remarkable degree to war
production. In addition, new plants
and plant additions have sprung up
in many parts of the country. About
half a million dollars has been spent
on this industrial expansion and
ytv.pt balf the workers employed
in manufacturing are now doing war
work. In the coming months this
number will be increased by about
40 per cent, which will mean an in
creasing drain on peacetime occupa
fun
tions. Canada, now, ran equip a
infantry division with everything
nleded for war within a period of
five weeks. The great bulk of Can
adian production has tieen going to
Britain and now is going to every
part of the British Empire, to China
and very shortly to Russia.
War materials now being turned
out in Canada include corvettes,
minesweepers, many types of small
naval vessel, airplanes, tanks, two
kinds of machine guns, one type of
field gun, one type of light gun, Bo^
+ors-AA guns, 3.7 AA gurik, anil-rank
guns, rifles, two kinds of trench
mortar, explosives and chemicals,
shells, small arms ammunition, aer
ial bombs, anti-tank mines, depth
charges, various types of army ve
hicle, parachutes, gas masks, anti
gas clothing, radiolocators .naval
stores, anti-submarine equipment,
and minesweeping gear. Most of
these have never been produced in
Canada before.
To support such a war program
the Canadian people have had to
give up increasingly large amounts
of their income during the past two
year. The Dominion Government in
the present fiscal year is spending
five times as much as it spent dur
ing the last full fiscal year before
the war. For w ar alone it is spending
411 per cent of the estimated national
income $35,000.000,00U in terms of
the relative national incomes of
Canada and the United States. This
is more than Canada spent for war
during five years of the last Great
war. It amounts to ubout $200 for
every man, woman and child in the
Dominion.
Canadians are paying three times'
as much in taxes as they did before
the war. Corporation taxes have
been substantially increased. Indi
rect taxes have been raised and new
taxes are being imposed on a large
number of items from radios to race
track bets.
During the last- two > cms Canad
ians have loaned the Dominion Gov
ernment a sum of money equal to
the total being collected in taxes
during the present fiscal year- $20
000.000,000 in terms of the relative
national incomes of Canada and Un
united States. In addition they have
contributed voluntarily more than
$26,000,000 to war charities.
1 lie war has imposed certain re
strictions on Canadians. They face
an 11 per cent rise in the cost of liv
ing, can get no new models in auto
mobiles. radios, etc. until the end of
the war. can get only very limited
supplies for "11011 essential" pur
poses oT certain vital materials, and
face a sharp reduction in civilian
supply of other materials and com
modifies They can erect no new
buildings above a fixed value un
less they are approved us necessary,
can purchase only a few "11011-esseii
tial products from the United
States, ill order that war materials
and equipment may lie bought there
in increasing quantities: they cannot
get funds to travel 111 the United
States except for urgent reasons;
they cannot hold foreign exchange
or export capital. They are eating
less of certain foods ill order that
more may be sent to Britain; they
are being urged to save all salvag
nhtr waste materials and to conserve
perishable foodstuffs; and they can
not buy gasoline or motor oil on
Sundays or between 7 p. m and 7
a. m. on week-days.
Canada s war effort during the
past two years has I intimately
bound up w ith measures for the do
tense of North America. Canadian
ships and aeroplanes patrol the Do
minions Atlantic and Pacific coasts
day and-night Canadian troops and
guns guard her shores. Canadian
troops were for many months, ui
Iceland and today they share defense
duties with American troops 111 the
West Indies and in Newfoundland.
Canada is building many new sirs
tegir air bases, including a string de
signed to give military planes access
to Alaska Civilian defense and A
R. P. units are organized. Through
out the country the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police and members of the
armed forces guard against sabotage
and fifth-eolumn activities.
