ON AUGUST 1, NEXT, a substantial contract for Hawker Hurricane fighting 'planes, which was placed in Canada a few months ago, will be com- pleted on schedule, according to the current rate of production. This represents the output of one key plant, with a coordinated subcontract arrangement, states the "Wall Street Journal."

For an industry which has been literally built from the ground up in a period of two or three years this, coupled with the growing output of training fighters and bombers in other plants, is a reasonable index of the progress to be made in 1941.

It means in this case that representing an outlay of $120

Since the outbreak of war more than 1,300 military aircraft have been produced in Canadu in a the locations of dozen planes, which extend from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. The present rate of production is approximate- ly 40 'planes per week. Aircraft being manufactured include bombers, fighters and trainers, powered with engines imported from the United States and Eng- land.

What Constitutes The Industry

$180

million. Plans are under way for the extension of this mer- chant vessel programme to around $300 million.

The $120 million naval sche- dule comprises the construction of some 266 ships and over 400 small craft. Of the former, 92 have been delivered or launch- ed and by the end of this month 60 more will be in the water. The output of Amall boats is close to 50 per cent, completed. The changing course of the war has shifted emphasis upon the and need for merchant vessels, the Canadian cargo shipbuilding programme involves the produc- tion at a dozen yards of 100 standardised cargo boats at a cost of around $1,800,000 each.
