Germany Will Never Defeat A Country They Cannot Corrupt From Within--Mr. Morrison
LAST BROADCAST
NIGHT'S
London, To-day.
IN A BROADCAST LAST EVENING similar to his state- ment in the House of Commons in the afternoon, Mr. Herbert Morrison, the Supply Minister, said that be- sides all consignments of planes, arms and ammuni- tion we had drawn and were drawing from the stock of American aerodromes and arsenals, we were receiving a steady and increasing stream of engines of war, parti- cularly aircraft, made in American plants to our orders.
CANADA'S PLANS FOR CHILDREN FROM BRITAIN
Ottawa, To-day.
Mr. Thomas Crerar, Minis- ter of Mines, informed the House of Commons yesterday that the first 3,000 British children who are being sent to Canada for the duration of the war will arrive in mid- July.
Additional groups will arrive at five-day intervals until July 25.
The British Government had been unable hitherto to estimate the total number coming to Canada but he felt it would reach sions."
Lord Beaverbrook had told him our order's had brought into the service of Britain's war machine every leading aircraft firm in the United States and the machines included the famous Lockheed-Hudson bomber, the Dou- glas Brewster fighter, training planes and a large number of flyingboats, as well as Northrop bombers and Curtiss fighters recently released to us.
Mr. Morrison added Lord Beaver- brook said the great and growing orders that had been placed would mean a tremendous acquisition to our fighting strength in the near future and would also mean that there would
have been built up on our initiative a great aircraft producing industry in the United States.
Weapon Of Terror
Besides planes, added Mr. Morrison, many thousands of aero engines were ordered from America in the autumn and many more thousands recently.
He concluded by emphasising the

BITTER
ELECTION CONTEST
Philadelphia, To-day.
It is becoming increasingly clear at the Republican Party National Convention that the real fight is between Mr. Robert Taft, the Party can- didate, and ~ Mr. Wendell Wilkie, the popular can- didate.
Mr. Wilkie appears more sympathe- tic towards President Roosevelt's policy of "all aid for the Allies short of war" than the declaration in the party's official platform which is gen- erally believed to have been framed by the party bosses in order to mili- tate against Mr. Wilkie's chances.
The Convention has been one of the most open for many years chief- ly because of the manner in which Mr. Wilkie's vivid personality and obvious competence

the imagination of the delegates. The Taft-Wilkle fight will doubtless be bitter. Observers feel that if the party machine fails to get a better grip on the delegates, Mr. Wilkie has an excellent chance of being nomin- ated on an enormous wave of po- pular sentiment.-Reuter.

Earlier yesterday Mr. Crerar con- ferred with provincial Ministers to consider plans "for a greatly ex- panded movement."
No Limit
Should it become necessary, Mr. Crerar said, Canada was prepared to receive any number of British chil- dren. The initial number the Dom- inion had agreed to take was 10,000 but the number was not limited in any way.
