Auto Production (Continued from Page 1) during the year 1947 were of course, considerably above the .require- ments of a normal year. Thus, as domestic demand restores itself to normal, we will have to export more cars if we are to maintain employ- ment in the industry at present levels. Following the remcval of price controls by the Government early. in 1947, there were no such pricz| increases on the part of Canadian car manufacturers, as had been ex- pected by the public. Car manu- facturers, because of wage increases during the year, amounting to 11%, and because of' increased cost of! components, in many cases far be- yond this percentage, raised prices by amounts varying from 3% % to 8%. The really big increase in the price of cars to, the public came when the Government imposed the Excise tax of 25% and upward in mid-November. On the general point of Reeping costs down, the industry did a rela- tively good job. This may be seen from the following table showing | the percentage increase in the fac. tory retail price of three typical standard car medels in the United States and Canada between No- vember, 1938, and October, 1947. The figures compared were, in both cases, before sales or excise taxes. % Increase % Increase In USA, Car 1 8 Car 2 74.6 : Car 3 67.7 49.9 It reflects some credit on the Canadian automobile industry that prices have been kept where they are, The Outlook ° In the final quarter of 1947, the Canadian Government imposed a temporary ban on the imports of cars built in the United States. This was in the interests of conserving our reserve of American dollars. The imposition at the same time, of a high Excise Tax on all cars built in Canada, was also declared to be in the interests of conserving American currency, The effect of these two regulations combined could be' serious. At the present moment, however, it looks as if the Canadian Government would event- ually-set a figure which it will al- low the Canadian automcbile in- dustry to spend, either on imports of cars or on the Americal compo- nents which go into the making of Canadian-built cars,--thus-we shall have a clear picture of the extent of ' / » Oshawa Suburban Road Commission TENDER FOR TRUCK spare tire.

This, however, is so wrapped up in the Government's over-all economic program, that nothing definite can be announced at this time. The long-run picture is encour- aging, Our national production generally is at a high level and production costs are relatively low. We have the raw materials and the ability to produce. Whatever ex- pansion takes place in the Canadian economy, the automotive industry will undoubtedly keep pace with it. Sholden, Kent, Eng.

Moreover, system power resources have recently been reduced owing to lack of rainfall causing poor water conditions. : Winter has now set in and little improvement can be expected in the replenishment of water storages, with the result that system power resources may be expected to progressively deteriorate throughout the remainder of the winter. In these circumstances, it is evident that unless additional voluntary savings can-be obtained the Commission will be obliged to order municipalities to reduce their load from time to time by as much as 15% or possibly more. The Commission's engineers are now drawing up such reduction schedules in order that any neces- sary reductions may be equitably distributed amongst the municipalities. Your Commission should also draw up load reduction schedules for your consumers so that you will be in a position to put into effect, on short notice, any reductions t~ ~ ~ur total load which may be ordered by the Commission. : S. J. BABE, chairman' - To All Municipalities In Southern Ontario: Re: POWER CONSERVATION An active campaign should be undertaken immediately in your municipality to acquaint all industrial, commercial and domestic consumers with the situation, pointing out to them that unless they are prepared to increase their saving of electricity on a voluntary basis their power may be cut off entirely at intervals throughout the day. / Yours truly, Osbowne.
