WW.\\"\WM%%W% A GIFT FOR MOTKER! '.". Recently Mr. Hsley gave parliament a summary of his problem. He wants $666,574,000 for the army this year. $169,640,000 for the navy, $386,619,00 for the air force and $180,458,000 for muniâ€" tions. There are other war costs disâ€" tributed among the the government departments which will bring the total to about $1,500,000,000â€"not counting direct financial aid to Britain. Canâ€" ada this year will ship about $1,500,â€" 000,000 worth of goods to Britain for Canada will receive $350,000,000. ‘This means that in addition to meetâ€" "Ing our own costs, we will have to find ething more than another $1,000,â€" Cuts $114.82 to Equip a Solâ€" dier. for a Spitâ€" * «: fre, $50,000 for a Hurri.

Multiply that by 170.000 soldiers on active service. As long is he remains in Canada he This is also a war of power. Two divisions in the last war would control 8,C00 hors»â€" power of mechanical energy. Our two divisions now in ‘Britain with their allied seyrvices have about ©600,000 horsepower, or a twelfth as much power as is produced by all the generators in Canada, including those at Niagara. _ _On the sea money goses fast, too. One corvette costs $550,000 and a mineâ€" sweeper $575,000. A destroyer, a relaâ€" tively small craft, costs $400,000 a year to maintain and this money must be obtained from the citizens on shore. When they get into action mechanâ€" ized units really begin to burn money. One 500â€"pound bomb costs from $80 to $200, depending on the type used. Antiâ€" aircraft guns cost about $12,500 and will hurl shells, costing about $6 each, at the rate of 120 per minute. In one hour‘s firing such a gun would spend more than $40,000. For every pop of a 3.7 antiâ€"aircraft gun which ean search bomber five miles in the sky, $20 or four $5 War Savings certificates are required. This armament can conâ€" sume a fortune in one night‘s operaâ€" The ordinary infantry division has changed out of all recognition since the last war. It travels on wheels. Thirtyâ€" seven different types of vehicles are required; 3,525 vehicles altogether. Gun carriers cost $5,000 apiece. Machine guns mounted on these carriers cost $450. The ordinary army truck costs $1,500. A tank tbrigade will be added to Canada‘s present Army Corps in Britain. This will cost $60,000,000â€" threeâ€"quarters of the amount that we shall use this year to subsidize our prostrate wheat industry. _ Eight thousand dollars paid for a fighting plane in the last war. It now costs $25,000 to build a Spitfire, double that for a Hurricane and $150,000 for a Eclingbroke bombkbér. If you saved your maximum of War Savings certificates, at the rate of $480 per year, you would be just over three centuries paying for the loss of one such bomber. Canada intends to create an armourâ€" ed division. To equip this single diviâ€" sion taxpayers must provide at least closer to $200,â€" 000,000. As it travels it will represent an investment equal to the cost of ten Ottawa parliament buildings. To raise Money to equip this division, about 350,000 Canadians must save $40 per month. ° * It is the weapons, not the man, that have made this the most expensive of all wars, This war makes any preâ€" vious war look like a wave of economy. may be supported at present for $5.46 per dayâ€"which more than uses up one War Savings certificate. Overseas mainbenance costs are sat present recâ€" koned at $7.11 per day. This compares to $6.58 required to maintain a soldier in France for one day when he was using up ammunition during the last war.

But surely the answer to that outâ€" worn cliche should now be "Why In this war, and especially at this stage of the war, the real military obâ€" Jective is that intangible element known as morale, and here, at all events, the enemy‘s reserves are not at all formidable. He himself is atâ€" tacking our morale by atiempting to destroy our ports, but being no less satisfied if he can destroy the homes and break the will of those who love in these ports. In this German straâ€" tegy is probably sound. It is German psychology that is faulty. In the last war, to the spring of 1918 we had spent only $877,271,000, not s much more than half the cost of a t ‘ single year in this war of machinery. s We maintained the army, much larger : | than the active service list of the preâ€" lsent war, at a fraction of the present . cost. /‘ To help pay for this we shall have _ to devote something around 4,000,000,â€" . | 000 working hours in the present year _ to the war in Canada.

When you go to bed at night you can reckon if you l are an average Canadian that you have labored about 3 hours and 31! _ minutes for the war.

Everything that helps to hamper or disrupt the enemy‘s war machin»s is certainly helpful.. But are the diviâ€" dends we are getting from our efforts now really adéquate? May we not be overlooking that, with the war remainâ€" ing in a static condition, the German machine is no longer feverishly turnâ€" ing to meet the urgent dayâ€"toâ€"day needs of its armies, but that it is now producing well in excess of any imâ€" mediate requirements? But your own air correspondent, has, I think, rightly sensed the growinz impatience and even resentment about the "piecemeal" character of our preâ€" sent onslaughts, as well as about the scrupulous orthodoxy which seeks to limit our attacks to "military objecâ€" tives."

Pilots and observers are required to have their junior matriculation or the equivalent in mathematics and physics. The qualifications of an air gunner are that he must have completed two successful years of high school. The men wanted at the recruiting station here are pllots, observers, wireless operators, air gunners and fabric workers. One qualification that is important in all of the branches is good eyssight. The education qualifications stopped a lot of recruils. Some people think that if the air force needed men they would lower the education standards but it was pointed out that this canâ€" not be done. The job of flying a plane is a highly scientific one and is done mostly by instrumsnt. A pilot must have a good education to properly read the instrument panel. Interviews at the â€" R.C.A.F.
