Mr. Howard said the U. S. also is considering the purch- ase of Canadian ships and vehicles and "some clothing." but this was not dennlte.

The naval guns. he added. form the mostdefinlie commitment thus far. it would form part of the a25.0oo.ooo Canada-U. 5. arms re- ciprocity arrangement. which soon is expected to be extended well beyond that figure.

In long-range planning, the Un- lied States was considering the placement in Canada of heavy or- ders for raw materials and manu- factured goods, generally. in the United Ststca' determination to step up defence plannin .

Mr. Howard gave the interview to The Canadian Press after the two countries, in the wake of the Korean war, moved quickly to reach agreement on a joint indus- trial mobi-liution blueprint to be employed during total emergency.

Kenslngt and Brandon Curran, Vernon River, were nominated. From this panel one appointee will be eligible to become a member of the Board.
