accepted the Chamber's estimate of the average proportion of
learners and agreed that 15% represented the minimum (R 219).
2.
Employment of learners during the past several
years has been especially pronounced because of the great ex-
pansion of the aeroplane manufacturing industry (R 54, 55). The
expansion of the industry may be judged partly by the increase
in the value of the output and partly by the increase in em-
ployment. The following table shows the expansion in output
measured by value of product:*

Employmont showed an increase commonsurate with the
expansion in the value of the product. In 1934 employment was
about 13,000; in 1937 it was about 35,000 (R 44).

This expansion came to a halt in recent months.
The manufacture of commercial aircraft has declined rather
severly (R 45-6). Unless new business trends assert themselves
or unless governmental purchases are expanded, recruiting of
learners will subside to the point of merely supplying such
replacements as the ordinary turn-over in employment may demand
(R 55, 59-60, 72-3, 114-15, 210). On the other hand, repre-
sentatives of the industry anticipate expansion in government
purchases (R 86, 44-5; and Supplementary Brief of the Aeornau-
tical Chomber of Commerce, pp. 16-17).

Representatives of the industry gave uncon-
tradicted testimony that learners are employed in the execution
of government contracts and that during recent years the
