WAR WORK IN CANADA ,.«r-p».v This Company is in the war to the full limit of its resources. Until the British 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 compcv.i^* tn the service of the Empire. We regard this to be our simple duty as a Canadian in- stitution, one of the industrial resources of the Dominion. The 8,400 employees in our plants as well as our wide- spread dealer and service organization from coast to coast are Canadian. The Company's shareholders include a large proportion of Canadian investors. No one indi- vidual, fanuly 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 whole-hearted support to the national war effort. From the very beginning this has been our course. Even before war was declared, in coop>eration 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 35,000 motorized vehicles of many types, of which 10,000 are for the Canadian government and 25,000 for other Empire governments. We are constructing at our o%«m expense a ^700,000 plant addition to provide facilities for the building" {rf- 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 plaiits in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India and Malaya are similarly engaged in Empire service. Beyond our manufacturing facilities we have been fot^ tunately able to contribute skilled man-power. From our Canadian and overseas organizarion, 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 cheerftilly. 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 COMPASY OF C.Vi.iD.i. 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 Canada's 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 Canada's 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; an 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 anitude toward the war, and its ability to assist in Canada's war effort, have been so far as I have been able to obseirve. bevond criticism." Statement in Senate by Senator Raoul Dandurond, 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 Company is a Canadian con- cern, and I can add to the assurance given by the honourable leader of the House my own feeling |that there are no better Canadians than those at the head of the Ford Motor Company of Canada and throughout that Company's organization. They will assist us to the utmost in our war work." Women's Auxiliary Motor Service Early in the war the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, organized free traio- iojc courses for women in the care and operation of mouir vehicles for possible war service. 284 such classes have been conducted, vrith an enrollment of 7,343. The number who have completed the eifcht-week course is 3,473,with 2,656 now under instruction and 1.214 enrolled in new classes about to start. All instruction and equipment has been furnished bv Ford dealers and the Company without charge. Types of Motorized Vehicles for Military Use Being Mode by Ford Motor Compony of Canoda The Company is eo^jted in manufactur- ing 39,0O0 motorized vehicles for Cana- dian and overseas governments. They in- clude light two-wheel drive trucks, known as 8-cwt.. which are used for carrying light stores, personnel or wireless sets; X5-Cwt, units, used to transport heavier •N* ..--«*• loads, personnel, as anti-tank gun tractors, water tank carriers, etc.; 30-cwt. four- wheel drive, used as load carriers: three- ton, four and six wheels, for heavy loads, for workshops, for wrecking e<]uipmeot, etc.; four-wheel drive gun tractors used to haul artillery, as well as ambulances and regular passenger cars and station wagons specially fitted and painted for army pur- poses.
