Form Chart on Two Wars

At the start of her fifth year of war, Canada added up some figures, made a form chart on the Dominion's performance in two wars:

Manpower. Of 725,000 Canadian men & women now in uniform, all but 70,000 are volunteers. The 70,000 draftees are liable for service on the North American continent only. In World War I there were more than 647,000, of whom about 90,500 were drafted. Of World War II's totals, 37,800 are women; in World War I only women with the armed services were 2,900 nurses.

Money. The cost of four years of World War II is already six times the total cost of World War I ($10,824,000,000 v. $1,670,406,213).

Munitions. The Dominion has now become fourth largest producer of munitions among the United Nations. Seventy per cent of her manufacturing plant now working on war orders has produced $6,500,000,000. In World War I the total was $1,068,000,000.
