When a joint committee of provincial and municipal authorities and representatives of Trade and Commerce began to consider some ski Loua problems but its actual organization took place on May 26, 1025. Contrary to some opinion the thing which brought the Industrial Duvel moment Board into being was not the desire of a number of commercial people to become suddenly Rich but he Effort of a. United Community both Labouring and employing and state and commercial classes to Cope with a menace which was threatening the very life of West n How situation was viewed the first statement of the problem on the minutes of the original meet Ngol the joint committee in february 1925, was this that the unemployment pro Blem had become a menace both financially and morally to the proper development of our Industrial and Arl cultural communities that unemployment a direct result of Lack of Industrial development and that Lack of Industrial development la closely connected with our present conditions by which we allow labor in outside Points to make our raw pro ducts into finished so serious did these problems appear or the eyes of the men then assembled that a budget of Lor the pro posed Industrial Bureau was quickly voted the provincial and municipal a Overn mints voted each the Manitoba Power company and Wmilne electric company each and of he Winnipeg Board of Trade the to s2 500.

In addition to submit Tang valuable showing he existing manufactories and the possible and practicable ones not yet established these committees have carried on a constant Campaign to Aid the industries now operating in the province and to attract those which ire needed. Survey invaluable probably the most important Docu ments compiled by the Board have been its Survey . The information Here exhaustive and includes a Complete analysis of the development of Industry in the province for tin past two decades and comprehensive of current activities of exist ing industries. The information i., profusely interspersed by graphic charts and statistical tables which give a Complete picture of the Industrial Structure of the province its problems and its needs. It shown that 71 per cent of the net production of the province obtained from farming while actual manufacturing represents Only 379 per cent of the whole. Mani Toba share of the capital employed i manufacturing industries in can a despite All the province Magni ent Power resources raw materials and transportation facilities less Nan 4 per cent. Although the ail Isis showed a wide diversity of Manu a Turing in greater Winnipeg the Wavd found a need indicated for More intensive development in certain and its efforts were therefore Umed in that direction. One department of the Survey was devoted to the greater Winnipeg de elopement programme with chapters in. City Structure conditions of living justness development new population and industries Good government and o on town planning a subject to which the Board has devoted much Ime and attention. It a Complete in vey Well conceived and Well executed and stands the first at third largest if Dominion Manitoba now the third largest producer of aerated Waters among All the provinces Canada. The production in 1926 was from 12 plants located in the province. Electrical supplies one of leading in the manufacture of electrical apparatus and supplies which include All firms engaged in the manufacture of apparatus and supplies used in the transmission generation and utilization of electrical Energy Manitoba has five establishments. In 1025, the latest statistics Avail agriculture Isth Basic Industry of Manitoba. So also Are the less developed primary industries of mining fishing and lumbering. But these cannot reach their maximum development. Without a reasonable development or our secondary or Manucal industries. How 1o bring about such a balanced develop ment will promote the general Prosperity of the people nov Here Hie rea1 problem facing the province it this Hon. John Bracken prime minister of. Erstwhile professor of agriculture and the Man whose lifelong researches and efforts toward the dissemination of knowledge Hare prob j ably done More for diversified farming in the West than any other single Agency made this statement to the free a Russ in the course i of an interview this week. Or. Bracken spoke with reference to the opening of the in ovine wide made in Manitoba Campaign by the Industrial development Board of Manitoba of which he honorary presi Dent and the present wide spread Effort to develop the City of. Winnipeg a manufacturing Centre. Not in Competition if there one thing which All of ought heartily to wish or. Bracken continued it that in this of All provinces secondary Industry by which 1 mean manufacture from raw material should develop an Aid to and a complement of agriculture and the other primary industries rather than a competitor develop no at their expense. These should be no competing of Industry against agriculture nor any attempt to develop Industry at the expense of Agri culture but rather that Industry should be developed Side by Side with mid an old and complement to agriculture. If this cannot be done. Industry Likely to Cost More than Are great hour Mills in win tempt of its kind in Canada. The Complete Survey was planned and directed by j. M. Davidson the Secretary of the Board. It has not been possible however ror the Board to pursue its Way with out an occasional Ripple in the smooth sea of Progress. On. December 7, 1926, a special session had to to called to Deal with the proposed agreement be tween the Dominion government and the Manitoba paper co., whereby the company was to secure additional pulpwood d to Supply a second unit in its Mill at Pine palls. Three Coiner fences with Premier Bracken and five general meetings followed before the Board viewpoint upon this controversial subject was finally incorporated in an exhaustive report and recommendation upon the proposed agree ment other evidence of the boards willingness to interest itself an arbitrator in Industrial disputes and difficulties not wanting. Among its most successful efforts was co opera Tion in settling of a threatened Quarry Hon. Lofin aka Crux. Alberta farms. There Are Ovid Fly of other manufacturing Eric Potries draw j ing their materials from the men on the soil arid in the mine pits. There you have Mutual dependence one upon the other. If the Farmer does not grow Good wheat the Miller will not Mill Good flour. If the livestock men do not produce High Quality cattle Ond sheep and hogs the Abattoir cannot turn out satisfactory products. At the same secondary Industry must tee Uble to carry on without decreasing the returns of primary Industry other Wise they become a liability to the state rather than agriculture first an agriculturist or. Bracken said he could not help believing that Agri culture would remain the Basic Industry in Western Canada for decades to comes but that did not ill the least withhold him from a firm advocacy of Industrial expansion and balanced development. There should be no need for me to ask support for the made in Manitoba he said. Some manufacturers i believe would prefer their goods to be recommended made the Western Canada but so Long Tho people of the West know it for a Home product i think they will give it their support. It seems to be an accepted fact among our industrialists now that All our great Power resources our Abund ant raw materials our excellent Sites and other advantages must yield place to markets the prime Factor in developing Industry.
