Armoured Cars for The
Ironsides of 1940
HUNDREDS of mobile bodies which are being created "by General Sir Edmund Ironside for home defence will be Ironsides not only in name, but in fact,
They will be a highly mobile | mechanised force, using fast! armoured cars, equipped with wireless and carrying arma ments,
The Ironsides formed from the Regulars will be men who have seen active service in Flanders and who, by experience, know all the tricks of Nazi parachutists. They will have their own Regular Army officers.
Operating from strategic points, they will be rendy at a moment's notice to meet the enemy wherever he may try to land.
The Ironsides will be in constant touch with every branch of the De- fence forces. In many places the "Parashots" will be their observer corps.

Production Of Fast Tanks Is Gathering Speed
AT a world-famous workshop since the Government changed two months ago
the rate of output of fast tanks has increased by 30 per cent.
For obvious reasons the actual number of tanks produced each week cannot be stated, but to judge by the number of engines being tested and the number of tanks and fast gun-carriers racing about the rough tracks outside the factory, we are get-

Possible New Trend To Soviet Expansion
Washington, Aug. 15.
The Alaskan Delegate, Mr. An- thony J. Dimond, to-day expressed concern to a United Press represen- tative over reported large-scale Soviet military activity in Siberia and the Soviet Press statement that the sale of Alaska under the Czarist regime was illegal,

One of the most interesting things about this factory is the number of German machines in use, and 1 sug- rest to the B.B.C. that they should make a special broadcast to the Ger- mah people telling them that their beloved Fuehrer has been selling hundreds of these machines to their enemies to help us to fill German Goldiers.
Speed-Up in Every Phase
But every phase of production is being rapidly accelerated, and the workers are really getting down to it. Every man, woman and young- ster In this factory feels that he or she is in the front line. A great change from the somewhat com- placit atmosphere of a few weeks
