Taxes On Many Items;
To Furnish War Supplies
OTTAWA. Oct. 11. (Canadian
Press) One month after declaring
war on Germany, Canada's precise
role In the conflict has yet to be de
termined. The length of the war and the
United States' final action on neu
trality legislation probably will be
the chief factors In guiding Canada's
courM.
All action so far has oeen based on
the assumption a, long struggle Is
ahead and this country will be called
on to pour large quantities of food
and war supplies Into England.
The dally sight of marching men
and uniforms, plus special taxes on
tea, coffee, beer, wine and whLskey
are reminders to Canadians that they
are at war.
An Infantry division for overseas
servlco already has been organized
It Is under the command of Major
General A. G. L. McNaughton, for
mer chief -of the general staff who
saw service in the World war.
This and another overseas division
now being formed, will Include about
32.000 men. More than 60.000 youths
recently recruited now are In training
camps.
Moreover, an undisclosed number
of trained filers are being prepared
for overseas duty and others are
patrolling Canadian coasts.
The Canadian navy Is aiding In
convoying ships across the Atlantic,
in cooperation with British convoys.
