CANADA'S PART
WAR ACTIVITIES AN IMPORTANT FACTOR ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION (By Radio) DAVENTRY, Nov. 1. Canada’s part in the war was described in a broadcast by the Prime Minister (Mr Mackenzie King), who referred to the Imperial air training scheme as the dominion’s most important military development. It might well mean, he said, that the final victory of the Allies would be shaped on Canadian soil. After detailing the wide range of Canada’s war activities, Mr Mackenzie King said that nevertheless the dominion’s most important part in the war might well be her economic contribution. In addition to being the traditional granary of the Empire she might also become the arsenal of the Empire. Canada had not waited for the war to start, but had made her preparations and at the critical moment had been found ready.
