More than 95 percent of the industries established in Canada by refugees are now engaged in war work, according to a report issued today by the Dominion government. Many refugees have introduced new techniques and skills to Canadian economy, the report says.
It reveals that 5,000 Canadians are employed by the refugee industries, which have a total annual payroll above $7,000,000. Most of the plants are unionized. Among the equipment produced by them are shell containers, army boxes, plane parts, gun parts, precision tools and signal flags.
