Production docs not necessarily mean increased iuunition resources. The U. S_ A. Army has re- jected and returned to the manufacturer 5,000 heavy machine guns built in one of the emergency plants created t0 manufacture ordnance. The machine guns, of an estimated value (if about $5,000,000 and representing about 7 pcr cciit of production in the last year, were first accepted, but then rejected on the ground of defective ivork- manship. It is expected that they can be made serviceable and are riot a total loss. At the same time as the rejection of the guns was disclosed, War Department spokesmen emphasized that similar difficulties had been encountered in many other fields of emergency manufacture of special- ized ordnance equijnuriit. The tlcfccts were credited to haste and inexperience, and it was cx- pected that tlic loss would be written off to "edu- cation." u u ii- u An Ottawa despatch says the present distribii- tion of Canadzfs air cadets is as follows: British Columbia, 3,190; Alberta, @003; Saskatchewan, 96o; Manitoba, 65o; Ontario” 3,325; Quebec, 3,3I0; Nova Scotia, 405; Prince Edward Island, 250.

For it must always be remembered of this miin that though he never says "I told you so" he could say ll. about once a week. He warned of war when it would not. have been too late to save France; he pleaded for ships and ‘planes early enough to have pre- vented what. has happened ln trie Pacific; he saw through I-lltlcr when tlie rest of us were llsteiiliw, to his promises.
