empire is victorious until the battle for freedom of nations and liberty of peoples is won we have pledged all the vast manufacturing facilities of our canadian and overseas affiliated companies to the service of the empire we regard this to be our simple duty ns a canadian in stitution one of the industrial resources of the dominion the 8400 employees in our plants as well as our wide spread dealer and service organization from coast to coa6t are canadian tihe companys shareholders include a large proportion of canadian investors no one indi vidual family or company has a majority control of our shares for these reasons aside from our deep feeling of loyalty to the empire and its high purposes it is fitting that ford motor company of canada limited should give wholehearted support to the national war effort from the very beginning this has been our course even before war was declared in cooperation with officers of the department of national defence we laid in our plant the groundwork of military production since conflict became a reality we have given war orders precedence over everything else more than fifty per cent of our production is in vehicles for military use and this percentage is increasing rapidly we are now engaged in supplying approximately 35000 motorized vehicles of many types of which 10000 are for the canadian government and 25000 for other empire governments we are constructing at our own expense a 700000 plant addition to provide facilities for the building of universal machine gun carriers of which we have under taken to deliver fifty a week to the canadian government as soon as production can be started this addition will also enable us to increase production of other types of military vehicles our affiliated companies with plants in south africa australia new zealand india and malaya are similarly engaged in empire service beyond our manufacturing facilities we have been for tunately able to contribute skilled manpower from our canadian and overseas organization engineers and men with special training in transport and other lines are rendering valuable service major adjustments in our business have been necessary through loss of export trade and because of domestic taxation we have made these adjustments cheerfully our one concern now is the successful prosecution of this war so that people of all nations may again be able to work in freedom and peace president ford motor company of canada limited statement in parliament by the hon c d howe minister of munitions and supply the president of the canadian company has shown perhaps as keen a desire to assist in canadas war effort as any citizen of this dominion has done his corporation since the outbreak of the war has done and is doing very important work for canadas war effort in the way of building motor transports and universal carriers the com pany has placed itself entirely in the hands of the government as to the terms of the contract which it has had a contract providing for a fixed price as low as we could find any basis for asking was worked out ah over riding provision was inserted that the books of the company would be audited and if the stipulated price produced a profit more than a very low percentage indeed that price would be scaled down accordingly in other words the work of the ford motor company of canada its attitude toward the war and its ability to assist in canadas war effort have been so far as i have been able to observe beyond criticism statement in senate by senator raoul dandurand government leader in the senate ford motor company of canada is doing its utmost to serve the interests of the country the war supply board and the government statement in the senate by rt hon arthur meighen conservative leader in the senate they ford dealers in canada are numbered in the hundreds and the number of employees of these dealers is very large the ramifications are tremendous for all the purposes concerning us the
