CANADA’S OUTPUT.

INCREASING PRODUCTION.

SUPPLIES FOR THE WAR.

LONDON, September 29

A picture of the ever increasing Canadian contribution to war supplies is contained in a .letter from a. wellknown Canadian, who states: “We are well on the way to manufacturing tanks. We are already turning out machine-guns and field artillery a.nd we are tuning up for the manufacture of rifles and naval guns. “We are turning out prodigious quantities of explosives and shells and our aircraft plants have taken oyer most of the burden of supplying training aeroplanes for the air-training scheme.” . The Canadian Ford and General Motors plaints, he adds, are turning out about 600 units a day, and Canada he says, is at present the world’s largest producer of army vehicles. The air-training scheme, the .writer states, aready has several thousand pilots in training, and he describes it as “a prodigious undertaking,” which is “changing the face of the Canadian landscape.”
