BRITAIN’S WAR NEEDS CONTROLLER’S ESTIMATES (Reed. Nov. 10, 9 a.m.) OTTAWA. Nov. 9. The Canadian Controller-General said to-day that aircraft, anti-sub-marine boats, ammunition and gun barrels would form the basis of tho initial orders which the British Board of Supply is placing in Canada. He added that he was unable to estimate the volume, but expressed the opinion that Canada had sufficient potential resources to provide for all of Britain’s war needs, but not without extraordinary industrial expansion. He did not expect that there would be any volume of production of aircraft engines in Canada, but fuselages would be buijt in large numbers. Motors would be imported either from the United States or England.
