London, Oct. 11.
Progress in connection with the shadow factory, which the Company is managing for the Air Ministry, was Yeported by Lord Austin at the annual meeting of the Austin Motorcar Company yesterday.
Lord Austin said that the production of engines and plants was proceeding at a very substantial rate, and that the Company had been 5 assured by the Ministry that the Sie Coa quality and finish of the work they were turning out were unsurpassed in that branch of engineering.
Had the Government's peace efforts proved of no avail, he declared, his address today would have been of a very different kind, and the word "motor" would have ceased to be an appropriate description of—the activities of the Company.—Reuter.
