development of the Arrow plane and Iroquois jet engine to power it has been success but unfortunately these outstanding achievements have been overtaken by events In recent months it has come to be realized that the bomber threat against which the GEMS Arrow was intended to provide defence has diminished and al ternative means of meetnfg the threat have been developd much earlier than was expected ONLY AVIER 1962 Mr Diefcnbaker said the Ar row could bo fully operational in the BCAF only after mldlsoz by wblcl time the threat from the intercontinental ballistic missile will undoubtedly be greatly en hanced in numbers size and ac curacy and the ICBM threat may be supplemented by submarine launched missiles By the middle 1960s the mis slle seems likely to be the malor threat and the longrange bomber relegated to supplementing the major attack by these missiles Mr Diefenbakers statement gave no encouragement to Avro Aircraft Limited at Melton out which developed the Arrow that

rapidly changing defence picture requir difficult decisions and the gov ernment regrets the inevitable impact of it upon production em ployment and engineering work in the aircraft and related indus tries The prime minister also said the US government after full and sympathetic consideration of proposals that tile USlAir Force use the Arrow has decided ll would not be economical Already the US
