The article discusses the Canadian defenses. The strength of Canada's permanent active militia is limited by an Act of Parliament to 10,000 of all ranks; in actual fact, it totals at present less than 3,700. The appropriation for 1929 was U.S. $11,856,305, which included the upkeep of the Royal Military College, the Topographical Survey, and a number of special services. The Royal Canadian Navy is composed of two destroyers and four minesweepers. There are two naval bases and a total permanent staff of 94 officers and 616 ratings. There is, finally, a Naval Reserve and a Naval Volunteer Reserve of 140 officers and 1,360 men.
