Myers conceded that his motor had not actully been testcd in flight

This is what he said his motor would do:—-

Used as a secondary power source on a standard Mai-tin bomprir, ii. would reduce the takeoff time by 38 per cent, and, employed in the same way on one of the army's four- engine bombers. would increase the. payload. 01' bomb load. by 57.7 pci cent. it could be used ultimately u the sole source of power for war- planes.

Mal-Gen. W. H. P. Elklns. form- er master-general of the ordnance was made commanding officer, and the 3rd Division was assigned to the area. Preparations were made for the concentration of the division at Debprt. NS. and Sussex. N.B. Fortress and coastal garrison ar- tilierv units along the east coast kept a constant. watch for attacks which never came. while perfecting themselves in their training. Creation of a Pacific command iolowed the formal adherence 0i Japan to the German-Italian Axis. Map-Gen. R. O. Alexander was plac- ed in charge and given control of defence forces in Alberta and Brit- ish Columbia. Deience Minister Ralsion said lt was the intention to assign the 4th Division which was mobilized early in the summer to the Pacific area and preparations were made for concentration (f troops at suitable points on the west; coast.
