OTTAWA REPORTS Tlio Appointment of "Tha Joint War Aid Committee," Manned by Canadians and American* To the five committees in which Canada and the United State* previously have joined economic and military resources for the moat efficient prosecution of North American war effort haa been added a sixth, the most im- portant of all, perhaps, in Its ultimate bearing on United Na- tions victory. It has been named the Joint War Aid Committee, United States-Canada, and through the medium of Cabinet committees at Ottawa and Washington, to all intents and purposes will direct and control the flow of surplussea from the vast arsenals and agri- cultural fields of the two nations. Chairmanned by an American, Major-General James H. Burns, Munitions Assignment Board, it is manned by Canadians and Americans, experts in the fields of military strategy, diplomacy, and munitions production. Its de- cisions while not to be law in themselves, will decide the course of action of Canadian and Amer- ican Cabinet directing bodies in the disposition among United Na- tions of vast quantities of war supplies.

But Canada's Mutual Aid program alone in- volves a billion dolars' worth of supplies, and United States Lease- Lend schedules visualize distribu- tion involving many more billions. * The committee really consti- tutes a liaison between the two North American Governments a body of experts to co-ordinate the various requests for aid of needy United Nations members. If a United Nations member asks Canada for machine guns, for instance, the committee will de- cide -whether the need can best be filled out of Canadian or Amer- ican stores and munitions plants; if a United Nations member asks for tanks, or aeroplanes, or guns, or wheat, the question of who will supply, and what country can best provide the ships, will be determined in the light of the knowledge and experience and circumstances of the two nations. The work of the new commit- tee is calculated to prevent over- lapping of effort and duplication of supply.
