(From our Own Correspondent.)

OTTAWA. Jan. 28.--'l‘Iio imperial

Munltion Board has Issued at stats- mcnt explanatory oi' why morn shell contracts are not coming thc way of Canadian lnanuhicturers. A vital reason, it states, is that thcro are large arrears oi' delivery from present contracts. “lt is not reasonable to expect further large orders." asserts the llonrd, " until part, at any rzttc, of the arrears on delivery oi' existing orders has been made up." ’

Dealing _with the orders generally,

the Board point out that in October last con-tracts aggregating $169,000,000 were passed. Delivery ol' these orders has not yet commenced except In one or two cases. It is not to be expected therefore, that fresh orders would be given until the old ones were running out. It is evidently a waste of money,

the Board says. to increase the output

of shell bodies beyond thc capacity lor' loading and fuse fitting. There are only two shell loading plants in opera.- tlon in Canada and one under con- struction, while there is no fuss lond- lng plant. at all. The only way In which Canadian factories could ho kt-.pt fully employed would he for some or tho plants now occupied in similar work to be shut, down. This sugges- tion has been made by the Imperial Munition Iloard io the Ministry ol’ Munitions, but it is doubtful whether it is practicable on account of exist- ing contracts. As to prices, the Board says the British Government deliber- ately sanctioned a high scale of prices for munitions made in Canada to bring Canadians into the field. They had the advantage of these prices for a year and the Board considers it new time to get down to a business factory and to be prepared to meet competi- tive conditions. s
