PRODUCTION OF ARMS
ROLE OF DOMINIONS EMPIRE PREPARATIONS Arms production in the Dominions is approaching a peak at which Australia and Canada alone will have a wartime potential of 20U0 war-planes a year. The peace-time output is now about 7UO planes a year. This means, says Mr. Donald Cowie, in "An Empire Prepared," that the Empire "will be in the happyposition of a Power possessing welldispersed, comparatively invulnerable sources of .supply. "The British Dominions are better prepared than they were in 1914 and . . . they have immeasurable defence potentialities. "No modern development has menaced British supremacy at sea." Mr. Cowie produces facts from each Colony and Dominion from which he concludes that the Empire is well prepared to meet a threat, but he pleads for .still closer cooperation on defence within the Commonwealth.
