ry Pellatt of Toronto is -reported to
be interested in the financial end of'
theplnn. lt it should go through and
Canada were able to get the whole
order at the price mentioned. this
would give the flnnl ' touch toward
making the shipbuilding industry in
Canada permanent, it would also
help to give a great deal ot' employ-

ous through the reconstruction peri-
od. With steel plutes easier to obtain
than at any time during the war,
Canada should beable to get the
