{HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929 PAGE NINE ~ JUNP260 PER CENT. ++ LAST THREE YEARS £2002" (Continued from Page 3) "4 "hive another thought coming, and probably you will get it inside of a ye time, hig consumers of fan ucts in this country mean more :4i 40 the farmers of Canada than do : the consumers of any other country in_the world. : + 7 What has happened, for instance, . 7 in the matter of automobile impor- .,. + tations? Do hon. gentlemen smile at Gf the fact that since the Minister of ss: Finance made the change affecting automobiles in 1 there has been 4' (an increase in the importation of the sii) ed article amounting to over "7 "pet cent? Automobiles have been co- _ *'ming "into this country in ever-in- 7 ¢reasing numbers, while the manufac- "5: turers in our own land could have *1'7% manufactured right here at home ev- LAs automobile that is used in Can- & 10% 'today, and in addition, they could 20». have reduced the price by 20 per cent. zo +i they had been given a fair chance .2 :*and were not continually assailed by 2; + people who think that our automobile manufacturers and manufacturers of every other article used in Canada .» should be exposed to the competition of the whole world. A 1. believe that we can make in Canada, everything, that "the people of i need, and if our indus- 'trial centres were left alone we would produce most of these goods just as cheaply as they are produced in the "Uhited States or anywhere else, but "we cannot do it if our manufacturers "*are¢ to be eternally disturbed by these © "absurd theorists. Our manufacturers -. cannot 'go on and develop industries in Canada if they are always to be .asailed by people who believe that ' "these goods should not be made in this country, ut in some foreign land. "Why should there have been this increase of 260 per cent. in the im- portation of automobiles when our own manufacturers could make every antomobile that is used in Canada. 1i this 260 per cent increase in automo- bile importations were not comin into this country, our factories woul be able to run for one month longer 'in' the year than they do at present. "The theory that these articles should be manufactured in foreign countries instead of at home will not hold up against the facts; it will not even hold up against the consumers' idea ' "of cheapness, because if we had 'becn manufacturing all these automobiles in Canada we could have produced ' them almost as cheaply as in the Uni- "ted States or anywhere else in the world, How can we ever develop in- to a great country when such absurd "trade theories are put into effect as those expounded by certain hon. gen- tlemen in this house? Mr. Coote: I shall not attempt to deal with the rash statements which .'haye just been made by hon. member for Ontario, but he did ask for in- » formation, He asked what led us to «believe that the manufacturers of au- obiles. were. taking advantage 'of 'the excise ; tax. » Mr. Kaiser: How do you know that Nish ¥ i baa Raw Sl of 53 the manufacturers are not. passing this 5 per cent. on to the consumer? Mr. Coote: If the hon. member would only keep his seat warm, I would try and tell him. : Mr. Kaiser: How do you know they do not pass it on? Mr, Coote: I just got up to tell my hon. friend how I knew. If he would take the trouble to read the state ment I placed on Hansard on April 12 last, he would sec that the retail factory price of a Ford car in Can- ada is 29.1 per cent. higher in the acse of a coupe, 29.3 per cent. higher in the case of a tudor sedan, and 29.8 per cent. higher in the case of a for- dor sedan. Mr. Gott: Higher than what? Mr. Coote: Higher than the price of the same car in the United Sta- tes. Mr. Gott: There is no comparison between the two cars, The Canadian car is a much better can than the United. States car. i Mr. Coote: The customs tariff which these men enjoy is 2U per cent. and the price in Canada is 29.1 per cent, higher than in the United Sta~ tes, it seems to me that we have fur-|. nished enough proof to the Minister of Finance tor at least an investiga- tion to be made to determin wheth- er or not these manufacturers have taken advantage of the excise tax. Mr. Gott: There is no possible way of comparing the American Ford car with the Canadian, because the Can- adfan Ford car is so much better than the other, An hon, member: In what way? Mr. Gott: It is better built and bet- ter in every way. Exempts G. M. C. Mr. Coote: 'The tariff board could make a very thorough inquiry into this question. They could get the ad- vice of mechanical engineers and as- certain just how much more expen- sive the Canadian Ford is than the American, May I point out to the hon. member from Oshawa (Mr, Kai- ser) that in my statement in regard to this matter a year ago, I said that apparently General Motors had lived up to this agreement. I had no proof to the contrary, and so is exempted them, I cannot sce why he is so anx- ious to continue to protect the auto- mobile manufacturers, particularly at what might seem to be in his own expense, because in every case when clection time comes around these manufacturers certainly do not do anything for the party of which my hon. friend is so prominent a mem- ber. The 'hon. member for Ontario should thank the Minister of Fi- nance for what he did for the auto- mobile manufacturers, instead of be- labouring him so hard, because as a matter of fact, after the Minister of Finance reduced the tariff in 1926, General Motors greatly increased their plant at Oshawa. I am perfeci!y unable to understand the attitude of the hon. member for Ontario, I thinik he should thank the Minister of Fi- nance for his attitude if he is really sincere, Maybe there isn't any truth to the report that New York police have concluded that Arnold Roth- stein was shot by Charlie Ros-, and are planning to drop the ease, it they have any. -- Detroit Free Press. © $245.35 Complete with Tubes On Convenient Terms UR aim to satisfy the most discriminating radio purchaser has been reached in this new and finer MAJESTIC, Its performance is, aston- ishing, its beauty out- standing, its price from $50 to $100 Jess than any other similar radio.

ARPLANE TO HELP DRY AGENTS HONT RUM RUNNERS Will Search Numerous Routes Between Canada And New York Albany, N.Y. May 11.--A half dozen dry agents with Director Palmer will. go hunting today for bootleg trails between here ana Canada from an airplane, Director Canfield avows that this method of search, which contem- platee mapping numerous routes leading from the moonshine and tne bootleg trail, though spectacular, should make it possible for the agents in the' northern district to check somewhat the flow of choice liquors, cordials and wines over the Canadian border. Recently, Mr. Canfield made an automobile. trip through the north country, but it was conceded that probably scores of dirt road rouies, known best to bootleggers, partic- ularly those through the Adiron- dacks, had not been placed. Mr. Canfield and his agents, in- cluding a map maker, will fly northward shortly before noon and return to Albany in five hours.
