II -(CP)—Can- wda completed the framework of the greatest air training scheme the world has known witll open- ing today of the bombing and gun- nery school at Mont Joli, Que. and congratulations and praise came quickly from Sir Archibald Sinclair, British Air Minister. The Mont Joli unit brought to 03 the number of air schools built in Canada under the British com. monwealtn air tra_l.nlng plan. The Plan. organized by governments of "10 Empire. has been interpreted as recognition that Canada's main contribution in the present war should be in the eir. "Please accept my warmest con- gratulations on the occasion of the opening of the last school under joint air training plan and on thus completing this great scheme much ahead of schedule," said Sir Archi- bald 1n a message to Air Minister Power. “It is all the more remarkable because the capacity of the schools has been increased much beyond phat was provided for under the original plan and because simultan- eously you have provided a large number of flying training schools to take the place of schools pre- viously established or planned to be established in the United Kingdom. "On behalf of air council I wish to thank you most sincerely for all that you have done." For more than a year graduates of the training plan have been mov- ing to the United Kingdom and elsewhere to jolli the sky armies in action. AiJzouzh all the scheduled schools have been built the flow of trained men will increase. Air Minister Power said in Mon- trcal Saturday night that a year from now three times as many graduates of the training plail will be on active service gs there are toda". “The year 1941 saw the comple- tion of our construction and es- tablishment program; the year i942 will see us achieve our peak iii prorluctlon," the lililiisi/ei‘ said. In addition to the training schools. 130 air establishments have been developed under ilrc plan. It has about 100 airdromes and 1,860 buildings. The paved highways of tir airdmmes are equivalent to 800 in lss of highway of the standard width of 2i feet. When representatives of Canada, the United Kingdom. Australia and New Zealand met here in Decem- ber, 1939. to discuss organization of the plan, the ccst was estimated at $600,000.000 cf w icli Canada's '00" The Canada's portion nearly $600,000,000. The plan is operated directly by the R. C. A. F. under direction of the Canadian govcrnlnent and a supervisory board ivhicli includes representatives of the parin-ei" gov- ernments.

Dec. 15_—-tCP)—!-I.0I and to what extent the extension of manpower mobilization in Can- lln wi_ apply to service in civilian capacities is olle of the questions about which there is much specula- tion at the moment. On the basis of recent statements by Prime Minister Mackenzie King, Air Minister Power and. Agriculture Minister Gardiner it is expected the powers contained in the national resources mobilization act of 1940 will be applied oli much widel- scale than hitherto early in the new year, if not before. Insofar as the government's plane may involve calling more men to m. army services for home defence the machinery for that already exists in the Dcpartilient of National War Services. The machinery was set up when compulsory military training we; introduced in September, i940, and many of the preliminary roblcms which appeared iii the cury stages of organization have been solved. Under the machinery ivorks the Wfll‘_S_£_i‘Vl(.'CS Deplu-tlliellt receives a requisition from the National De- fence Department for a. given num- ber of men on a certain date and, through its regional war services boards, proceeds to select the men and call tiielil up. So far only single men and wid- oivers without children between tile ages of 21 and 25 have been called. As a. large number of voluntary en- listments take place from men in those classes the potential number of men in them is limited and may bc exhausted some time mxt ycllr. “lhcl-hci" it is (lxnansted sooner or later dcpcllds on the extent to whicil the niolitilly 0.1115 are ill- creased.
