Feature Article PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT NDWS FUTURE By LEWIS MILLIGAN Canada has the raw materials industrial equipment efficient management skilled workmanship ample capital and business enter prise to provide full employment for its working population With all these facilities for industrial prosperity why has there been fallingoff in employment in the last six months To find an answer to that ques tion have been making some in quiries at firsthand and the con clusion may be summed up briefly as follows We can produce and de liver the goods but there are not sufficient buyers who will pay the prices we ask and must receive if our industries are to pay the costs of production and marketing While on visit to the City of Welland recently pursued my in quiries Previously had passed through that city several times but had never realized that it was the centre of one of Ontarios highly industrialized areas includ ing the urban parts of two adja cent townships with total popu lation of 30735 gross production of $89585132 and wagé total of $23261937 in i952 During and since the war work ers had enjoyed full employment the average income being $2891 per year up to the middle of 1952 Manageriallabor relations have been good and although wage de mands have been increasmg pro ductivity of workers is said to have more than offset that factor The decline in employment began in July 1953 when there were 870 out of work fur ther decline occurred in Sep tember When many were laid off in the heavy industries and today there are 2600 unem ployed in the area The three heavy industries affected are Atlas Steels Limited Electro Metallurgical Company of Can ada and PageHersey Tubes Limited Diversified industries are said to bedoing fairly well their products being readily ab sorbed by the domestic mar ket In order to discover why these three heavy industries had laid off about half their regular staffs interviewed their managers They all blamed the present situation on the decline in sales due to their inability to compete with the low sr PAULS Mr and Mrs Walter Stunden Hamilton spent the weekend with Mr and Mrs George Stunden and family Mr and Mrs Noble Hanna and family

that Bri tain Germany and France could manufacture and deliver steel and other such products to any part of Canada at much lower prices than it costs to produce thcnr in Welland The annual reports of the three heavy industries showed steep in sales during 1953 Atlas Steels suffered decline of over $9 million in sales last year Net profits after provision for in come taxes were $872680 in 1953 as compared with net profits of $2706707 for 1952 drop of nearly two million dollars in one year Factors adversely affecting sales in Canada are said to be production cutbacks and in ventory reductions in many in dustries While stiffening com petition among recovered Eur opean companies plus lower labor costs had affected export sales Moreover the contin ued high exchange rate of the Canadian dollar adversely aff ected trade with dollarshort age countries which had to re strict Canadian imports It will thus be seen that the un employment problem at least so far as the Welland industries are concérnedyis one of selling the goods they produef And the sales problem is not confined to Europ can countries teacher oflan guages in Toronto whotranslates correspondence for an Ontario manufacturing firm showed me letter written in Spanish from sales prospect in South America The letter expressed admiration for the quality of the samples of goods submitted but regretted they could not be handled because the prices were too high Many such letters must have been received by manufacturers across Canada and they go to show how our productsare being priced out of foreign markets and our work ers out of employment The problem is how to maintain the Canadian market for Canadian manufacturers and othis must be seriously faced by employers by labor and by the government which adds greatly to costs by high taxation and has added to indus trys difficulties by reducing tar iffs intend to deal with those aspects of the Welland situation in another article cox or 43 Regular size

India for years and years She felt that the year 1947 when the Indians became independent was one of the great stories of India and credit to both British and Indians that independence had come without war She referred briefly to the great problems that had followed with the partition of Hindustan and Pakistan and the assassination in 1951 of both Ghandi and the Pakistan prime minister Still the Indian government had set out wellordered problem and 59 per cent of the electorate had voted in the last elections compared with about 50 per cent in recent United States elections and 33 per
