CANADA AIR FORCE
LARGE FACTOR IN
WESTEfiNDEFENSE
Military Partnership With
Colony Would Give Air
Force Near 25,000 Men
By E. C. Daniel.
Washington, Sept. 10.
In making a military partner
ship with Canada, the United
States has acquired an ally with
a potential army strength of a
million and an air force rapidly
approaching 25.000 men.
The dominion has the second
most important military estab
lishment in the western hemisphere-First,
it offers the United
States strategic sites for naval
and air bases to serve as out
posts and buffers against over
seas enemies sites which are
being Inspected now by United
States members of the new
joint defense board.
Rapid Expansion.
Secondly, it offers the coop
eration of air. ground and sea
forces whose rapid expansion in
the first year of the new war
has surprisingly paralleled this
country's own defense efforts.
Recent official Canadian re
ports show these developments:
Air force: Called Canada's
greatest contribution in this
war." an air training plan has
doubled the air force personnel
in the past five months. Late
in July it numbered 1.765 of
ficers and 17,688 airman a to
tal of 19.453. There were near
ly 3.000 pilots, air observers
and gunners in training at 22
schools, and the number of both
students and schools was in
creasing monthly.
On the ground, 14.038 had
been or were being trained foi
staff positions. Work was pro
gressing on 78 of the 88 pro
posed airdromes.
Army: Four divisions have
been organized in the Canadian
active service force, counterpart
of the ragular army in the
United States, which now num
bers nearly 300 000.
Many to England.
Two divisions numbering 31.
607 have been sent to England.
The other two are rapidly ap
proaching war strength and
Canada will have an active force
totaling about 150.000 men.
Before recruiting was halted
August 15 and a nation-wide
registration for military train
ing was taken August 19. 20
and 21. the non-permanent ac
tive militia had attained an en
rollment of 100.000.
Out of its population of 11.
000.000 which is tiny when
compared to 130.000.000 in the
United States Canada has 2.
400,000 males between 18 and
44, and 1.198.000 are single
men.
113 Ships in Navy.
Navy: Relatively unimport
ant to a major naval power
such as the United States, the
Canadian navy now has a pat
rol, escort and mine-sweeping
force of 113 vessels manned by
9.000 officers and men. A year
ago it numbered only 15 ves
sels, including six modern de
stroyers, manned by 1 774 of
ficers and men. With 16 ship
yards at work and two destroy
ers building in England. Can
ada will add 100 more vessels
to its force.
Munitions and supplies: Be
cause the United States and
Britain. Canada's normal sources
for military supplies, have been
occupied so largely with their
own demands, the dominion has
converted an unprecedented vol
ume of its own productive ca
pacity to war work.
