Canada To Train 25,000
Empire Airmen
THE large scale Canadian preparations for training 25,000 Empire airmen for the Royal Air Force was des- cribed to a "Telegraph" representative by a British passen- ger who arrived by liner from Vancouver to-day.
“About 13 miles from Vancouver at Sydney, a huge aerodrome with hangars is being constructed, and across the country from Winnipeg to Toronto a chain of training stations are being prepared," he said.
"The enthusiasm and loyalty of the Canadians is most Inspiring. Recruiting has been suspended as the number of volunteers was too large to handle," he added.
Canada would devote her whole strength to the pro- secution of the war..
"Canadians want no let-up this time. We want a vic- tory march through Berlin," he said.
