Constitution of

Mass production 0f Airmen is Goal Power says

OITAWA. Dee. 1'!—(C’P)—Iiffi- oient mass production of fighti airmen is the goal of the Brltis Common -..lth Air Training Plan and “we dare not, we must not, we shall nm, suspend or delay our efforts" in attmiing this end, Air Minister Power said tonight.

Mo]. Power spoke on the “Wings of Empire" broadcast, commemor- ating the first anniversary of the launching of the training plan. He was heard over a national network of the Canadian Broadcasting Cor- pogtligiori. the

o on program were Afr Marshal W. A. Bishop, director of rwrflltlns for the Royal Canadian Air Force; Air Vice-Marshal L. s. Breadrier, Canada's chief of air staff; Air Vice-Marshal S. .1. Goble of the Roypl Australian Air Force; Air Vice-Marshal L. D. Dalze MoKean 0f the Royal Air Force; and Group Cont. 1.. M. Isitt of the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

Maj. Power said the air training Dill! had one purpose—to produce pilots, observers and gunners. “Ex- perience has made it abundantly clear that this purpose can be ac- complished-in fact it already has b9€ll achieved," he declare

But the minister ‘warned that .t-he efficiency of the production, line has been proven only for a comparatively small number of units. It remained to be seen how the program would stand up under conditions of mass production.

“This (mass production) is what we have been asked to undertake, and this is what our partners in the Commonwealth are demanding of us,“ he said. “It is for this that embattled Britain is looking to us in hopeful and expectant anxiety."

Air Marshal Bishop, ace of the

First Great War. said the number of airmen trained under the plan "would increase and increase and help achieve in the skies and in the clouds a decisive verdict that. will mean freedom for us all." H Air Vlce-Illarshal Breadrcr said quality" was the hallmark of the R.A.F., and it was the responsibil- ity 0f men in training to sec that this standard did not suffer in the other air forces of the common- wealth.

Air Vice-Marshal I... 1). Dalzell. McKean of the United Kingdom air liaison mission declared that the day the training plan was launched we regarded hllvirvs as an even‘. of major historical im- portance in Canada.

Gratitude for the "kindness and hospitality" extended to Australian student airmen by the Canadian people was expressed by Air Vice- Marshal S. J. Goble.

Australians Participate In offensive

By J. E. l-IOLDSWORTH Canadian Press Correspondent

SYDNEY. Dec. 17.—(CP Cable)- Prime Minister R. G. Menzies an- nounced officiailv todziv that Aus- tralian troops are participating in the offensive aizainst the Italians in North Africa. and told his country- men that he was sure they would izive e. zood account of themseyes.

The announcement came after some days of speculation as to whether the Australian tr0ops.| known to form an important unit of , the middle east command. actually were in action.

Mr. Menzies expressed the hope that the Australian troops. bosses- siniz the best equipment that could be supplied them, would help com- rfete the defeat of the Italians in Libya. Defeat of Italv thereafter would become a. mere matter of time. he said.

Mr. Menzies said the defeat of Italy would allow the whole British blockade to be directed arcainst Ger- many. It. would be comforttntl. he said. to the relatives of the men in action to know they had devoted the last l5 months to adequate om- naration for this momentousevent. It. was the Australians’ first major action, he said, but it; was not to be forgotten that Australian airmen attached to the Middle East com- mand, have been on active service with their Sunderiand flying boats since war began, The sainc applied. he added. to the naval units.

By Edwin Stout Associated Press Staff Writer

LONDON.‘ Dcc. 1’l—(AP)—Ste&1_ ing the NflZlS‘ own thunder, Bri- tisli. bombers delivered a seven. hour assault urpori the German in- dustrial city of Mannheim in the heaviest of a series of overnight raids from western Germany to the submarine base at Bordeaux, France‘ the Air Ministry announced today.

An airplane factory, a dye plant and other military objectives in the Mannheim area were left ablaze from the attack, carried out by the light of a bright moon.

Heavy explorions from the direc-

tion of the French coast were heard_ tonight along the coast, indicating that British bombers were making a heavy attack upon German bases across the Channel. Pouncing upon Mannheim foi- the 20nd time in five days, the Royal Air Force singled out this chief in- dustrial centre of the uppcr Rhine for a fiery dose of the same med- icine the Germans have given some of Britain's own industrial cities.

(The German high. command said 10 persons were killcd, 50 in- jured and damage inflicted in western and southwestern Germany. with Mannheim and another un- named town bearing the brunt of the attacks. It said two factories were hit, but; claimed the effect on production was "immateriafb

l! Robert Okin Associated Pres: Staff Writer VICHY, France, Dec. 1'7 --(AP)

—Ma.rsha1 Philippe Petain. chief of state of France. summoned his deposed Vice Premier, Pierre Laval, bank from the mysteries of his ex- pulsion today for long conferences with himself and Otto Abetz, Hit- ler's envoy. ~

An official ccmmunlque. fol- lowing a hectic and secretive day, said Petain and Laval discussed the "general situation." At least it was clear that Lavals gym situation since his ouster from he govern- ment last Saturday was part of the discussion.

Abetz saw Inval this morning at‘ a conference at Petains home, and still later in a visit to Levers cha- teau at Cfhateldon, 20 miles from Vichy.

(By Charles S. Foltz, A ' ‘ ‘I Press Staff Writer) t BERNIE, Switzerland, Dec. 17, —tAP) -. Authoritative sources reported tonight that Pierre La-‘ val was with German Ambassa- dor Otto Ahetz when the latter left for Paris tonight after a day oi mysterious conferences with hoih Laval and Marshal Peiain.

These persons said the de- posed Vlce-Premier was in one of the automobiles belonging to the Abetz suite when the Ger-_ aides and

man envoy, his guards, whirled out. of Vichy. Luvafs friends said he would

accompany Abetz to Paris. I

Then Abeiz conferred with Petain before leaving for Paris. During the evening, Laval was at the Hotel Majestic, "where Abetz has been staying since last night. There was no confirmation of a rumor that Laval had also gone to Paris.

(There were some rumors that Germany might detiiazid Iavalis reinstatement.

(This was supported by inform- ants in Berlin. who said Germany is interested not in Laval‘s successor but "whether any change in French policy has taken place." Petain a1- ready has told Hitler that he will continue to collaborate with the Reich; that Lavalls ouster made no difference in this. It was indicated. however, that Petain had not told Hitler why he ousted Laval.

(In Berne it was reported a Pe- tain-I-Iitler meeting might be ex- pected if Abetz and Pettiin arnced on a future basis of French-Ger- man collaboration.
