TANKS & AIRCRAFT
PRODUCTION IN AUSTRALIA. IMMENSE EXPANSION SHOWN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, October 20. Australia’s tank production has increased one hundredfold during the past year, stated the Attorney-General, Dr. Evatt, today. He said that there were now 96 times as many tanks in Australia as there were six or seven months ago and the aircraft strength had also increased enormously. Emphasising the spate of .Australia’s war effort, Dr. Evatt said that there were few fronts .on which Australians were not fighting. One small continegnt of the A.I.F. had even been fighting in distant China. An essential part of the war effort, declared Dr. Evatt. was to plan for the post-war period. “There must be no repetition of the chaos, anarchy and broken promises that followed the last war,” he added. “Australia must look to the time when a million and a half men are taken out of war occupations to be reabsorbed in normal civilian life.”
