Lord Woolton's Important Statement

Delivery Of War Supplies Speeds Up

LONDON, July 18 (Reuter)—Lord Woolton, the Food Minister, told the House of Lords to-day that new men of great vigour with fresh minds have now been brought into service in the Ministry of Supply to speed up delivery of war supplies from the United States and Canada.

Lord Woolton, replying to a series of questions put by. Lord Addison to the Governinent arising out of last week's debala on procedure for ob- taining such supplies, sald he could not pretend that in the early days of the Ministry everything had worked smoothly of with precision.

Reasonable Progress

In Canada there was no munition Industry outside the Dominion arsenals with actual experience of the production of munitions. The endeavour throughout had been to convert Canadian resources to our war output and much new plant has had to be laid down. The uim .originally was to build a limited capacity for the maintenance of live .divisioris.

In such Items as shell, progress was reasonable. But many things were responsible for the difficulties.

"Perhaps the conception of a long war and the need to husband the overseas rekonrees imposed on the Ministry more prudence than vision. New men of great vigour, and fresh minds have now been tirought into the Ministry's service both on this side and the other aldo of the Atlantic. They wero brought in under the new circum- stances.

"Anglo-French oganisations were brought to an end here and America.

"The American Government have: embarked upon a vastly increased programme of national armament.
