wue AttAUWA TiLite ERM Went rye err eeey Wredasedaw Pahow, Sntencre tee. . om 98 1088 GOO -- By JACKGEARIN -- D EVENING WEST INDIES WOULD TRADE MORE HERE People in the West Indies want to trade more with On- tario firms, but there is one big impediment -- high freight rates via ship or plane. Authority for this statement is Ray Hall of Oshawa who recently spent three-and-a half-weeks in the West In- dies (Barbadoes, Jamaica, Trinidad and Bermuda) as member of a 12-man Ontario trade midsion sponsored by mission sent to representing more than 100 firms, was "much impress- ed'? by the cordial reception and sold products from stoves | to paints. ("I actually obtain- } ed business for my Oshawa marketing and advertising : firm," he said). ---- "The Department will later publish official trade figures for this mission and they will astound people," he said, "but we must do something to get those freight rates down -- they are the big impediment to new trade down that way. The quality of Ontario's products ig as high, often 'higher, than that of competitive countries and the West Indians displayed a strong kinship towards Ca- nddians." Hall met. the Hon. Stanley Randall, Ontario's Minister of Ecvnomics and Development, in the West Indies, He also took letters-of-greeting to municipal heads of the Islands from Mayor Lyman Gifford ECONOMICS MINISTER TOP SALESMAN The Hon. Stanley J. Randall, Ontario's Minister of Eco- nomics and Development, was a sound selection as guest speaker at the annual banquet of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Randall ("I peddied washing machines in 1930') ilidstrated wh¥ he is one of Ontario's better salesmen -- he is forceful in a calm, ingratiating way, overflowing with pertin- ent data on the Province's economic picture and, all in all, one of the best good-will ambassadors to come out of Queen's Park in séveral months (if his speech was too long) ~ here are thousands of Canadian plants that operate but eight hours daily insted of 16, Ontario must widen its mar- kets without delay to overcome this situation, he said ('Do you realize we must soon find 60,000 new jobs annually -- the objectives are simple: in fact, there is only one true objec- tive and that is a prosperous Ontario, so we can provide jobs and income for our people and expand opportunities." He gave his formula for prosperity -- first we must in- crease our exports of manufactured goods as extensively and as speedily can, Then we must reduce our im- ports in the same manner as we He said Ontario has the skills and ability to. utilize more of our raw materials and as, we do the emphasis must be on largér markets for all our products. "In addition to expand- ing industry, we must also Work towards full utilization of the far@ities we have already. By this I mean that in Ontario to- day we have dozens of factories which stand idle two-thirds ofthe day .. .We cannot compete cost-wise on less use of this invéstment or. production runs of one-tenth of the vol- ume," he sald. With the hundreds of millions being spent on Education the loss in terms of dollars in future would be staggering if we cannot employ them in Canada, He added: "If we don't then we are subsidizing the future for other industrial nations today. He said 8,000 of the Province's 13,000 manufacturers ém- ploy less than 15 persons each. Mr. Randall added Eighty percent of the buying today is done by women who have been responsible for many automotive.
