In the Case of Oil for Ada is now becoming for the first time self sufficient in Petroleum. While the great new foreign investments have to be serviced the Cost of servicing them is off set by the saving in Exchange effected in the reduction of Petroleum imports. Or. Borden also cited the Case of steel. Until recently this Industry depended largely on imported Ore. . And Canadian capital then developed Canadian Ore deposits. Today Canada is an exporter of Iron Ore nearly As much As we import and our Iron Ore exports will grow More rap idly than our imports. Partly As a result of foreign investment Canada has under gone an economic metamorphosis since 1939. As pointed out b y or. Borden the Gross National pro duct in terms of constant 193a 39 dollars has risen from billions to billions. There have been tremendous increases in the production of newsprint steel aluminium base metals automobiles Oil and electricity to name Only a few. Industrial employment has risen by 56 per cent and the swing from farm to Industrial employment has reduced farm employment by 25 per cent. But in spite of this reduction in us labor Force Agri culture because of its increasing mechanization and improved practices is producing More than it did in 1939. Another Point made by or. Borden is Well Worth noting. Our Export Trade now represents about 24 per cent of the Gross National product. On a per capita basis Canada is the greatest trading nation in the world not in total volume of International Trade compared to the . But on a population basis.

O 1ttawa a Sharp discus Sion of the japanese peace treaty Bill in the Senate Exter Nal affairs committee has emphasized one great defect in the administrative relations Between the Senate and the House of commons. Because government i legislation is not normally Dis cussed by the Senate before it has been passed by the House Senate reviews of the legislation usually come too late for effective cure of legislative defects. If House Bills and such mat ters As the japanese treaty convention could be dealt with simultaneously by House and sen ate committees the advice of experienced senators could be use fully applied before the approaching end of a session enforces Hasty scrutiny. Senator Arthur Roebuck lib. Ontario raised serious constitutional objection to certain phrases in the enacting Bill of the japanese treaty. He contended that under them Domestic legislation May be enacted by or Der in Council before discussion by parliament. The external affairs official before the commit tee could not undertake to answer Legal questions on the to provide for prosecution in Canada of a Canadian for. Exactly the same offences named in the treaty whether committed inside or outside of there was no reason he pointed out Why .

In the clays of the Aird report on radio. But Long since the argument completely lost All Validity. Scientific advances rapidly multiplied the number of radio stations which could be operated at any Given Point. Long ago radio stations outstripped newspapers in turn her. Here in this Community there Are two newspapers and less than five radio stations and there could be twice number of stations and on radio obviously is not the Lack of wave lengths but of economic Opportunity. The two Media of communication or publishing radio and the press stand on exactly the same foot _ the number of 2000, instead of ids Are expected to follow.

It quoted those who had tasted the apples and dealers who had sold them As being unfavourably impressed with the imports. They were expensive and compared poorly with . This item has brought a res Ponse from two new sealanders now living in Winnipeg who express concern Over the poor impression that has been created. They say that new zealand produces the finest varieties of a pies in the and they deplore the Choice of delicious a Dies for the shipment Here be cause they say delicious apples Are All right when picked for immediate use but Don t stand the packing shipping and storage necessary to their distribution in they add that better varieties could easily have been requested.

How they were justified to the customers is not stated. It will be apparent that the big five had a wide measure of Freedom in the Domestic Market and or.

The practice is causing great in jury to the reputation of Cana Dian securities in the . New treaty this was a new approach to a recognized problem of Legal equity Between the two coun Ries. Apparently no one had even thought of it before. If the extradition treaty had been put before the Senate the House at the very least a useful discussion of the Point could have been had before the House approved the treaty. The ministers of Justice and external affairs probably will now have to make another last minute Effort to convince the Senate that the extradition treaty is just and practicable. Another example is an argument coming up in the Senate shortly on Points raised by the Canadian chamber of Commerce with reference to the new remo de led combines investigation some of the great firms were in Aeed in several of these Indus Ries and Are therefore accused of having been parties to three or four illegal combines. The mechanical rubber goods Industry is dominated by five firms Dominion rubber com Pany Ltd., the Goodyear tire and rubber company of Canada Ltd Dunlop tire and rubber goods company Ltd., Gutta per Cha and rubber Ltd., and the b.

If the companies which enjoy that Protection com Pete among themselves then the Cost of that Protection to the consumer is kept to the mini mum. But if the companies fix their prices by arrangement the tendency is to fix them at the evident that the Ting zen companies have frequently taken advantage of the Tariff in fixing the level of their agreed report Page 75 the manner in which these agreed prices were arrived at amending the new criminal code or.

It is a pity that in this Case at least those in charge of promoting new zealand exports to Canada did not seemingly recognize the vital import Ance of this first impression. Rubber not named in this Viceroy manufacturing company Ltd and Barringham rubber and plastic achieved sales of about s2 millions and played a More restricted role in the Industry than the big five. These nine firms referred to collectively As the group produced about 90 per cent of All mechanical rubber goods manufactured in Canada they turned out 100 per cent., of rubber belting exclusive of automobile fan belts Over 99 per cent of rubber Hose rubber coverings and linings and Over 9t cent of rubber weatherstrip Iff will protect and thus the Cost to the consumer tends to be a Price just under the Laid Down Cost of imparts plus Tariff whether or not the companies independently could and would have sold at a lesser re port Page 173 of interest Here is a letter dated november 14, 1940 from or.

It is oust As wrong just As much an in Well answered an effective answer has been Given by an Eastern Canadian financier to those who cry that Canada is Selling out to the United states because of the huge influx of . Capital into this country. In a speech at Toronto or Henry Borden Nephew of sir Robert Borden and president of the brazilian traction Light and Power company made these Points the influx of billion of foreign capital into Canada in to years represented approximately 15 per cent of Canada s aggregate capital expenditure during the period. It More than counterbalanced Canada s Over All deficit on current trading account of millions in 1950 there is a worthwhile volume of business to be had in Canada j for the shippers in other Commonwealth countries who want to Basic Liberty the government to control radio broadcasting As it would be for the government to control news papers and the publishing Busi Ness generally.

All the usual a about limited wave lengths and the inability to give rec rein to private ownership were heard. But in the end the . Federal communications the new capital had been Vita in expediting development of treat natural resources such As the Western Oil Fields and the Eastern Iron Ore deposits. The thoughtless nature of the charge that Canada is Selling out to foreign investors said or. Borden is illustrated by this fact from official statistics if we considered net external invest ment in Canada As a mortgage on National wealth this mortgage has decreased during the past generation from 19.2 per cent of Canada s wealth to less than 5 per cent of that wealth today and this despite the heavy Cap break into this Market and earn rhe dollars which their countries so badly need.

For years he said Camp owners have been exploiting their tests in a fashion forbidden by the United nations charter. A summer Camp. Was it the guest such a suggestion said or. Slifkin was patently ridiculous. How often he recalled had he lain sleepless on hard summer Beds How often had he been awakened if he could sleep at All by the heart less Host cutting Wood in the hours of Dawn As Early As 9 in the morning. How often had he reclined miserably All Day in a Hammock sheltered in the Shade while his Host revealed in All the pleasures of the outdoors. Guest who refuses to abide by the rules who cannot endure the torture of the Camp bed who flees from the Hammock and insists on engaging in some form of toil any cowardly guest who thus spoils his Host s secret Felicity is not worthy to belong to the Union and certainly will not be invited to return.

But treat numbers of people cannot resist the allure of a Gaudy genealogy and the less they know about the science of genealogy the More lofty their claims Are Likely to be. We have met at least a dozen canadians who claimed ancestry extending into the mists of Antiquity although one of the Ablest genealogists in England asserts that there Are not a dozen fam Ilies living who can Trace their direct ancestry Back to the nor Man Conquest. But we have Neve met anybody whose claims equal led those of or. Robert Taft who seeks the presidency of Thusa. Or to be completely just we should say that we have no met anyone who claims wha or.
