Last Third

The Government laid down its postwar plan for the last third of its defenses--the Army. In the House of Commons Defense Minister Douglas Abbott announced that what was planned to supplement a Navy of 10,000 men, an Air Force of 15-20,000, was a well-equipped Army of at least 20-25,000 men (prewar strength of Army: 4,000). To this regular establishment the Dominion would add six territorial di visions in part-time service.

Next year it will cost Canada $1,068,170,527 to maintain the peacetime Army and pay the cost of demobilizing the wartime Army.
