BIG PANAMA CANAL PLAN
The United States Congress is expected shortly to be asked to authorise a multi-million dollar programme for the “modernisation” of the Panama Canal-key point in Western Hemisphere strategy.
American Army, and Navy officials are; however, understood to, be sharply divided over what, form this "modernisation" should take to meet the demands of an atomic era.

The military. Governor of the Canal Zone, Brig J. C. Mehalley. and six consulting engineers have made a report to the War Depart- ment recommending such a plan.
But they estimate that it would cast at least U.S.$2,700,000,000 and take up to 20 years to build.

Immediately after the end of the war the ladustry was restarted on a grand scale. A factory at Cardin in Scotland was switched from the manufacture of instruments to the production of alarm clocks. These are now halng produced at the rate of 1,000,000 a year.
