WAR PRODUCTION
ENGINEERING SIDE STRESSED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, August 27.
Immediate decisive action to increase New Zealand's war production toy building and equipping new factories, the diversion of men from ordinary engineering activity to war work, and the training of men in engineering trades is urged by a leading British engineer, Dr. P. L. Henderson, travelling to Australia to be chief designing engineer for an Australian company engaged on war orders. He declared that the vital need of Britain and the Empire was an everincreasing output of mechanical war equipment. This did not appear to be sufficiently realised in the Dominions, land great efforts were required to enable the Empire to put forward its maximum strength in the struggle ahead. . "It is an engineering war, and the work of factories will have a tremendous effect on the final result," he said.
