Arrange more Active role For reservists

Equivalent Of Four Di- visions Will Be Organ- ized ln 11 Brigades: Men Under 19 And Ov- ér 35 Included In Those Eligible.

(By Frank Flahei-ty, Canadian Prcll Staff Writer)

OTTAWA, Feb. 6—(CP)—'1‘he new set-up for the Canadian re- serve army. an army to be com- posed o! men not eligible by age or medical category for active ser- vice. was announced by the de- partment of national defence to- night. '

Under the new arrangement men in the age and other classifi- cations liable to compulsory mill- tnry service will no longer be ex- empt. from compulsory call-up by reason of membership in reserve army uni .

As previously forecast the set- up envisages a more active role for the reserve in Canada's military organization than any hitherto contemplated. Fulfilment of that role means more training and the provision of more equipment which ieegflw available and will be ls- su .

The reserve will be organized in 11 brigade groups. one in each military district and each com- plcte with the iincillar troops and services usually assochited with a fully-organized brigade overseas. One of the brigade groups has been already organized on the Pacific coast.

The defence department's state- ment tonight said future enlist- ment: in the reserve will be re- striclcd

l. 'l‘o men under 19 and over 35;

2. To those in the intervening age groups who have been reject- ed for overseas service because of medical category;

3. To those who have been granted postponoments from active service because of key employment

Says Struggle In War Plants Of Paramount Importance.

MONTREAL. Feb. 6—-(CPl —~Lt.- Gen. A. G. f... McNaughton. after making a tour of major war plants ""8 WdB-Y. said that the present war was "a constant struggle in weapcn-types-a struggle of wits."

The Canadian Corns commander added that “this struggle of wits is even more important to victory than the struggle of fighting men on We battlefield."

The general this morning visned the Canadian Pacific Railway An- gus shops where light infantry tanks are being built and this af- ternoon inspected [ilanis of Mun- treal locomotive works. where med- ium cruiscr tanks are under con- siniction. and Dominion engineer- ing works. which is producing anti- tank guns.

"Ever since I iron: over to Eu;- laud." General McNaughton said following his tour. ‘I have locked forward to coming bark on the firs’ possible occasion to see the steps taken by Canada to provide her men overseas wl'li the weapons and equipment they need sn badly

“Canadian exports visiting Eng- laud have only i0 look at proving. tion methods there in sce the s11.)- erlority of our industrial methods. At, present the amount of equip- merit and the number of mun-hours required to produce a given gun or a piece of equipment in Canada is about one-third of that Nqulred in Europe."
