Minister of Agriculture, "Well Lord Perry, I'm very glad to have had this opportunity of coming here today to see for myself your great organization on which farmers are relying on to such a degree to carry out their job during war. As you well know and agree with me, it's impossible to exaggerate the importance which machinery and the implements it can play in our present campaign and I think we're very fortunate in having much better facilities available for the manufacturing of our tractors and implements than we had during the last war." | |
