B Een s ts The United Kingdom with three and a half times Canada‘s popuâ€". lation has 900,000 men on active service. The United States with eleven times the population of Canada has 3.6 million fighting men and women. | Even with voluntary enlistment a country of 14 million should be able to recruit more han 100,000 men and women. No wonder the other countries feel that Canada is dragging its feet. Canadian defense costs outside of foreign aid, amounts to someâ€" thing like 1.7 billion a year of the equivalent of $17,000 a man. The United States, which spares no expense so far as its troops are conâ€" cerned, manages the same trick for $12,0004er man. Recent contracts issued by the Department of National Defense would seem to indicate a tremendous waste in purchasing. This department has placed orders so far for 1.1 million neckties. During the first two weeks of October, it ordered $237,821 worth of boots and overshoes and in eleven months ordered a total of 1.3 million pairs. Many other unnecessary items of high cost and little actual value have been purchased by the Defence Department during the first half of October. aorad MOk: en naan e ied n sada With a ‘population of some 14 million, Canada has the unimâ€" pressive total of 100,000 men in the armed forces. iE â€" S s1 n enelee o m These include lamps $25,990; stockings 200,120, CSM 10009 @7757 789; shaving brushes $49,228. No Canadian minds a little extra in the way of taxation if he can see it is going towards the security and defence of his country. However, it would seem to us that guns and ammunition are a great deal more important towards winning ‘a war or a peace than are dish cloths and lamps.
