Far From Tamed That the atomic-powered automobile is still a long way off was confirmed last week by one of Canada's outstanding scientists who has been closlely associated with the whole atomic- bomb project. He is Dr. E. W. R. Steacie of the National Research Council. Dr. Steacie referred to fancies indulged in by some imaginative sensationalist: to the ef- fect that we would soon be able to drive out automobile back and forth across the continent with the power from a tiny pea of uranium. Among present barriers to that achievement, said Dr. Steacie, is the necessity of designing a cai- that would put r0 tons of concrete and other material between the engine and the driver to protect him-lagainat dangerous radia- tion. Another problem would be to get a trailer behind the car with a water purification sys- tern big enough to serve the needs of a com- munity of 50,000 people. British War Production Britain's truly magnificent record in war pro- dilation has been told in a special iuue of the London Times, which ia noteworthy both for its completeness and for the attractive manner in which the text and illustrations are present- ed- In a foreword appearing on the front page of the edition, Rt. Hon, Oliver Lyttleton, Min- ister of Production from Mai-ch i943 to Lily, 194,5, reviews some of the highspots in the Bri- tish achievement. They are well worth re- pcating here. Of all the munitiOns used by the Armed Forces of the British Commonwealth and Em- pin (8% million men in all) since the begin- ning of the war, no less than 70 per cent was produced in the United Kingdom itself. The rest came from the United States, from Can- ada and from the other nations of the Com- monwealth. In addition to what Britain pro- duced for her own forces and those of the Em- - pire, she made and sent substantial supplies to her other Allies-the United States forces in Britain, the U.S.S.R., China and the other Un- ited Nations. The minister adds: “All this we had to do under conditions of 3,1- moat unbelievable difficulty. We were bombed from the air; against this we had to disperse our production to black-out our cities, our rail- ways, our roads, our factories. U-boats sank . our ships bringing in our life-blood, food and raw materials. Yet, with our imports of raw materials cut by 50 per cent, We achieved the highest industrial output ever attained in the history of our country. . ‘Such a prodigiouli effort was made possible only by the great labours and heavy- sacrifices the Bdlilh Pimple.
