Canada and U. S. One Great Area. For Production

(B J. l‘. Sanderson) (Con: an Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-—(CP)— Iineteen-fort -one saw the 49th srallel of la ltude, which for more

an a century hes been a shining example to the world of the practi- cal benefits of a good neighbor pol- icy, disappear in many respects as a bounda. line between Canada and the Uni d States.

By a series of inter-related act- ions. co-o ration and collaboration between e two nations in roduc- tion of we: supplies was van to the point w ere boundary lines almost disappeared and the No American continent north of Mex- ico was regarded almost as one vast production area.

This trend toward a continental viewpoint is expected to be acceler- ated as e result of the United States beeomin an open belli erent in the war an all the maehnery necess- ary for it has been in operation for months.

The mutual confidence which has developed between Canada and the Unite States over a period of years has facilitated the creation and auc- cesstul operation of a series of er- manent. as well as temporary. oint commissions for handling prob errs of common concern.

There are four main bi-national boards. each concerned with joint wartime production plans. the com- mon dcfence of the two nations. conservation and distribution oi raw materials and. fin . econorria collaboration. both in wartime and peace. In addition to theseboarda. here are various direct administra- tive lialson agencies in Washington and Ottawa.

oi’ tremendous value. Under the terms of the Hyde Park agreement. signed by Prime Minister Mackenzie King and President Roosevelt April 20, 1941, the United States placed millions of dollars worth of war or- dcrs in Canada, taking advantage of production facilities already in or» eration and which could not have been duplicated in the United States except at great loss of time and energy.

In addition to that, the United States has gained access to Canada's vast natural resources on a priority basis that assures a continuity of supply and inexhaustible reserves which do not have to be transport- ed across an ocean.

One of the most practical achieve- ments the Permanent Joint. Board on Defence_ was the con- struction, bythe Canadian govern- ment, of a string of air fields from Edmonton north to Alaska. The im-

cod mediate object of these fields carved

out of rock and forest of the north-

rth em wilderness was to provide the

United States with the means of rushing aircraft, particularly short.- range fighters, to Alaska and the Aleutian Island bases.

This defence board was set up by the Prime Minister and the Presi- dent. when the conferred at. Or)- densburg. N. .. on August, l9 . to "consider in the broad sense th defence of the north half of the Western Hemisphere," not only the land portions of the two nations but the apgroachcs by land and sea.

An additional bonus of one-half cent a dozen will be paid for oil dipping such eg , a process which hops retain cu t and which now is specialy reques d by the Min- istw. the Department added. ~ The Deparmerit said pay-merit of the bonus was for the purpose encouraging Canadian est! Produc- ers to supply the maximum quanti- ty of the best quality c898 for Britain during the next year.

Existing‘ contracts with the Bri- tiah Min try call for the delivery of 772.000 cases of eggs before May 31 next.
