Munitions Minister

OTTAWA. Jan. l8 — (OP) -—'l‘h.e flow of raw materials to the war factories of North America has al- most reached its peel; and from now on the only means for spur- ring war production will be through improvement in the distribution of critical materials and by curtail- merit of civilian manufacture, Mun- itions Minister Howe said-today. —

In his statement the Minister an- nounced a new Modified Controlled. Materials Plan which goes into ef- fect immediately, with a view to c0- ordinating Canada's wartime con- trois and priority procedure with those of the United States.

Under this plan,_ manufacturers, basic producers, and public utilities which have purchased from the United States during the last three months of 1942, or intend to ur- chase during the second t ree months of 1943, critical metals or parts containing such metals, worth a total oi $2,500 or more in pur- chase value, must now tile before Feb. i0 a new form, to be known as P.B.-i0i)5.

The form is substantially sim- pler than that at present used ndustry under the roductlon re- quirements plan which has re- gulated the flow of mater als for the ast year. It. must. be lied by ail f rnis coming under the new def- lnition of a “class 1 consumer." ansdab war program relies largely on Canadian resources, but there are many materials, particul- arly certaiu metals and metal fab- ricated parts. which are not pro- duced in this coun and must be secured from the nited States," said Mr. Howe.

"For this reason it is essential that we co-ordlnste our controls and our priority procedures with those of our neighbor."

"The ic feature of the con- trolled materials plan in the United States is that specified quantities of materials are set aside in ad- vance, on the basis of productive capacity. ior each military and civ- ilian requirement," said Mr. Hows. "The quantity of materials to be al- lotted will be determined every three months for the succeeding calender quarter."

"Canada has been asked to sib- mi aesoonas possible. an ss- tlmate of this country's total lu- quiremenia of critlosl materials so
