Robert John Renison, chaplain OF the
Fourth Infantry Brigade
Quick as the Dominion was to send its
men overseas, it was no less speedy in
turning to munitions making. Conditions
in the steel and iron industry were not Of
the best in 1914 and practically no shell
had been made In Canada up to tLat time.
But within four months after the out
break Of the war fifty Canadian manufac-
turers, large and small, were engaged in
making shell for the British Government.
The Canadian Pacific Railway turned one
Of its Montreal shops into a munitions
plant and within a few months 10000
men were at work in it By March,
1915, there were 200 plants engaged in
munitions work, the contracts on hand
amounting to $SO,000,O00 GAS a matter
of fact, Canada had delivered 100000
shells in England before British factories,
outside of Government arsenals, had got
to work there"
Other things than shell were made, for
by September 80, 1916, the value of ex-
ports of manufactured goods Of all classes
amounted to 1851, 100000 for the year
ending on that date, or about $40 900
a month, in comparison with little over
$5,000,000 a month before the war. In
the last six months Of 1918 Canada made
IS per cent. Of the shrapnel needed by the
British.
Economically, Canada took extraordi-
nary strides during the war, for at its
opening it was a debtor nation while at
its close "it was lending money and ship
ping more products abroad than were i'm
ported" To the five national war loans
the people subscribed total of 81 $780,
100000. The total bank deposits in
creased by 100000, 900 during the war.
Canada went through labor troubles, dis
affection over the increased prices Of
commodities, granting Of the vote to
women and clamping the lid down on
Demon Rum.
Mr.. Hopkins closes his important and
valuable work with this summary:
"The year 1914 had seen Canada enter
the World War as one of a number of
dependent Dominions, or subsidiary eoun-
tries In a great British Empire; the year
1919 saw Canada a recognized nation in
a group of nations still called and still
acting unitedly as the British Empire.
Within the Empire its Prime Minister
had during 1917 and 1918 SAT- as a men,
Der Of an Imperial War Cabinet and had
helped Great Britain to guide the greater
events of the wartime action; its right to
share in the negotiations and terms of
peace was freely recognized by British
leaders as natural consequence Of ma
tional participation in the war. In form
its right Of separate action and policy
was at the Peace Conference admitted; in
effect it remained one of the British Dele
CATION with all the prestige and influence
which that position involved at world
gathering, where Britain was the dominant
power and British policy the prevailing
force"
