Ralston said. The minister also announced that a large modern rifle factory would be started in Canada. Compulsory Training Hon. J. G. Gardiner, minister of war services told the House of Commons today that every unmarried I man ln Canada medically fit and between the ages of twenty-one and I forty-five may be compelled to take thirty days' military training with- !ln one year. There is-no reason why Canada should not train a million men under this system and still operate state industry and primary production to meet the demands, Mr. Gardiner said. Department of National Defence requirements may be set by calling up during the first year only those single men who are from 21 to 35 years of age. Employers must furnish lists of male employers between the required ages and, under penalty, must put the employees back on their jobs on completion of training. Turning Out Arms , Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of munitions and supply, told the House that Canadian factories were i expected to turn out planes at the rate of 360 per month early ln 1941 jand "Mark III" tanks at tho rate i of thirty per month as soon as plants and equipment are complete. The minister outlined plans for rifle and artillery plants to make weapons up to 25-pounder cannons and naval artillery, the latter plants to cost $10,000,000 and to be the largest and most modern In the British Empire.
