orders for 1,175,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition;
 
1,850 field guns; 22,600 medium guns; 54,275 small arms; 2,000
 
tanks; and other miscellaneous items.
 
           Between June and October of this year certain surplus
 
materiel was sold or exchanged by the United States Army and
 
Navy for more modern equipment. All of this surplus materiel
 
was eventually purchased for the account of the British and
 
Canadian Govermments from domestic corporations.
 
     In summary, this surplus materiel included 890,000 rifles,
 
20,500 revolvers, and 88,583 machine guns, with 144,790,000
 
rounds of ammunition for the same; 895 feild guns with ammuni-
 
tion; 318 three-inch mortars with ammunition; 8,500 tons of
 
T.N.T.; 4,860 tons of powder; and 6,600 aircraft bombs. In
 
addition to these items there were included large quantities
 
of accessory equipment, such as tarmunition chests, magazines,
 
spare barrels, caissons, etc. All of this materiel so pur-
 
chased for the account of the British and Canadian Governments
 
was delivered just after the evacuation at Dunkirk.
 
     In addition to the expansion in our own production
 
capacity resulting from British orders, we have also obtained
 
plans and specifications of British war materiel, such as the
 
Rolls Royce Merlin engine, the power-driven aircraft turret, and
