millimeter guns and Howitzers.
The government is prepared to aide
extensively in plants throughout the
country in the quality production OF
these three types of cannon. Repre-
sentative Borland said that the bis
gun program was framed with the ex
pectation that we will have to cross
the Rhine and reduce the German
fortification in order to conquer mill
