page two the tribune stouffville ont thursday feb 8 1940 stye fciouffmlu ajribmu established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to ten pages average circulation 1375 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment who do you think got the highest salary in the united states last year a soapmaker well the president of a company manufacturing soap lever brothers company of massachusetts his name is f a countway and his salary and bonus for 1939 was 469713 and seeing it was made out of soap you could hardly call it filthy lucre what other editors say one farmer at seaforth came to pay his taxes and used fiftydollar bills the collector sent for the editor of the seaforth huronexpositor to find out if the bills were all right and the editor in turn said he would have to en quire at the bureau of statistics in ottawa it is comfort ing to learn that there is more than one editor who does not know what a fifty looks like palmerston observer patriotism and our neighbor the whitby gazette stated last week that it was not unpatrioic to buy goods made in another country when canada is the fourth important exporter in the world and the gazette may be right along this very line we read an article in some paper just recently that pointed out that the united states is on both sides of the border sentimentally referred to as canadas neighbor in practice however it is far more than that it is in fact an active participant in can adian economic life and a substantial owner of its soil and resources it influences in a number of ways the pattern of life here the extent to which the us has penetrated into can ada was last year surveyed by the dominion bureau of statistics it is estimated that american manufacturers have established nearly 1500 branch plants in canada and own a large proportion of the 2000000000 invested in plants here by foreign manufacturers a considerable num ber of such plants are in ontario in a recent article in the nation james h gray a canadian writer shows that americanowned plants produce 68 per cent of canadas electrical goods 65 per cent of its rubber goods 90 per cent of industrial chemicals and up to 95 per cent of all automo biles throughout the day canadians use the products of american manufacturers at home at work at school at play etc american investments by far exceed british capital in canada and this is not due to the geographic factor only the chief reason is the tariff wall it is aimed at keeping out american goods but american manufacturers have jumped it by establishing branches here anothrr equally important factor is that canada is the gateway to empire trade and american firms can through local branches avoid the higher export duties in the us the effect on the wageearning and consuming public is twofold employment is provided for the canadian work er because canadian customs regulations require that a proportion of canadian labor and materials must be used in american branch products but as a consumer the canadian worker pays more for such products than does the consum er in the us ten razor blades in us at 37c cost 50c in canada floor wax 48c in canada 65c auta tires 1150 sell here for 1860 and scores of other goods are listed the tariff wall is not in favor of the canadain consumer directly but it makes a lot of money to carry on the business of our country canada has to buy abroad so why niix patrotism in the deal so much much less patriotism exchange plays some strange tricks the exchange rate between canada and the united states is responsible for some strange things an american went into a railroad station the other day bought a ticket to a canadian station and was handed the same amount in change as he had given thus getting the ticket free an other american bought a bottle of liquor and tendered a 20 bill in payment for this he got the bottle plus a 20 bill and some change it would be possible for an american to come to canada buy four gallons of gasoline tender a 10 bill and get 10 back not too pleasant the sudbury star tells a story about a toronto woman who recently received a letter from a sister living in germany which has its ironic angles the recipient was surprised when the letter came to note that apparently it had not been censored even more surprised at the contents which contained a glowing account of the way in which her sister was living in the reich according to the writer everyone there was living happily and normally there were no blackouts such as cursed the british every night food was plentiful and wages were good the country is very lovely the letter concluded at this time of year and i can think of no other place where i would rather be except mount pleasant naturally the nazi censor had never heard of beautiful mount pleasant cemetery in toronto so the letter was passed on
