"In the face of er provinces," commissioners could not be expect- ed to give Nova Scotla. a full meas- ure of support, the Minister said.

The plant. on the Dartmouth sidc of Halifax harbor, employed 200 men when it was closed In 1942 because of shipping difficulties which made arrivals of raw ma- terial an uncertain factor.
