All non-permanent active militia units. corps troops as well as in- fantry, will be recruited up to full strength in accordance with their training facilities, Mr. Power an- nounced.

"Every able-bodied man in Crin- ada will be given in due course an opportunity of training in arms so as to come to the defence of the home land if necessary," he said.

The Minister reported that oi the 113.593 men under arms,_ 26.087 were actually in Great Britain and 64.656 in Canada. The Royal Can- adian Navy has a personnel of 7.256 and the Royal Canadian Air Force a strength of 15.594.

The veterans‘ home guard may be increased beyond the i2 com- panies of 250 men each already au- thorized. and forming zi corps of the non-permanent active militia. “Numbers of that guard can be readily increased as circumstances may justify." said Mr. Power. Pre- viously it had been announced that a veterans home guard reserve force numbering "many thousands" would be established.

The supply situation must‘ be stated frankly, the Minis- ter declared. ‘Some sources of supply had been cut off and some theories on uniformity of design and interchangeability must be discarded.

‘There were sufficient rifles for present needs despite the recent dispatch overseas of a "very large shipment" of Ross rifles from the first great war. The shipment was well received.

The Canadian automotive indiis- try had responded so well to the need for automotive equipment that no difficulty in that branch was anticipated, he said.

There wfciid be a scarcity of guns, machine guns. tanks and in- struments for training purposes
