CRUISER TANKS
PRODUCTION IN CANADA. Montreal. The first modern cruiser tank ever produced in Canada rolled off the assembly lines recently, and it is the first of hundreds to be produced for the Canadian army. Col. J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defence, and the Hon C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply, made a special visit to the plant to receive delivery of the tank on behalf of the Dominion Government. The tanks are the second type to begin rolling off the assembly lines in Canada within the last few weeks. The first type to be produced in Canada was a heavy infantry tank. Output of both types of tank is expected to ultimately reach 200 a month. Mr Howe said that the tank is similar in type to the British and American cruiser tanks, but that it embodied many new features developed in Canada, which made it a Canadian product.
