ER: {THE coion QUESTION 1 IN SOUTH AFRICA I 1 Mr. Thompson, who `s the prac- tical man of the new concern, said that the crucial questions to be ask~ ed were: What is the market, and }is it likely to be permanent? He! Continuing, Mr. -Hill said that thei machinery installed would be ofthe most approved type, even better than that of the parent company. They expected a big market in Can- ada and would endeavor to maintain the premier position in -their line of manufactures; -The machines they would turn out would be practically a new thing here, and the power generated`would in point` of price be, able to compete even with Ni3._1;.;u'a] Falls electrical energy. By establish- ing a Canadian Webber Co., the dif- culty in_the way of customs duties`. was obviated, ahd this meant, a big_ saving. ' Mr. Hill stated that the proposed capitalization was $300,000, of which $150,000 would vbe preferred per cent. stock. They would have a working capital of at least $50,000 to start with, over and above the $60,- 000 needed for machinery and build- I.n all probability $140,000 of -working capital would .be required before m_any months.

Briey, the company desires a loan of $40,000 repayable in twenty equal a_nnual instalments wit out in- terest; to.be secured by rs mort- gage on the building and plant. It seeks `a xed assessment of $20,000 during the mortgage period, said` as- sessment to be conned to school purposes ,and further concessions in the nature of free light and water. _Not a dollar of the loan is topput lup by the Town until` the company shall have expended the sum of $60,- Dlant and h..;m:....

' he think- ing whites are` not more stubbornly opposed to these unions than are. the intelligent blacks. They realize that nothing but misery awaits the children born of these unnatural un- -ions, for he says the blacks will hold them in as much contempt as the whites. ,To this subject reference was made the other day in the, course of a discussion of the Japan- lese problem in the United `States. The jury in the Seay shooting case: recommended that mixed marriages! should be prohibited. There being unanimityon the subject, it might well become an international law. While acknowledging the T undesir- ability of marriages between blacks and whites, _the writer in the Leader ipoints out that there are hundreds ,:of' natives in Cape Colony holding, jresponsible positions in the civil ser- ivice. They are also to be found in teaching and in mission work; and "there are journals in all the South African languages, conducted by capable native editors, and publish- ed in English and the vernacular. He admits that there has been de- generation in the matter of morals, but blames It not on education, but on the rough white gold -seekers of an earlier generation. With his as- sertion that the native, in his` primi- tive state, was a man of the strictest `morality all can` agree who have any] knowledge onthe subject.

He believed they were perhaps too modest in thinking that $50,000 would be a sufcient work- mg capital to start. with, and Two difficulties in regard to new} companies, observed Mr. Hill, are lack of capital and lack of market.` We shall have both. It was his. opinion that $50,000 with 'proper' banking facilities, such as they would have. was as good as $100,000 capital under ordinary circumstan- CCS. , : In answer to a query, Mr. Dyment could not say what would be the ex- tent of his holdings in the new com- pany. H.e expected, however, that they would be considerable. If the by-law goes through, the business will go through,'he declared. The new company would `replace the Webber Co. in the -Canadian market, and Mr. Dyment thought the Cana- dian -Webber s most valuable asset would be the exclusive Canadian market assured, as against the company.

The class of` labornecessary for the new works! was of the highest grade, and good wages must be paid. About one- lthird of the number on the pay-roll, he thought, would probablybe un- skilled labor. They expected to em- ploy from 150 to 300 hands inside of a two years time, but did not feel it ` to be a business move to guarantee`? more than 5o.hands as the lowest number. It was expected that $35,- 000 Worth of machinery would be in- 1 stalled at the outset, as the initial 1 expenditure. They would manufact- ` ( ( ure from the raw material-from the iplg iron.
