NG the trade routes over the Seven Seas, leading to more than 100 different countries, go Cana- dian products. Other peoples-- often peoples of strange languages and different customs--have shown their pre- ference for Canadian commodities. This to the extent of a billion and a quarter dollars a year, They buy from us on the basis of right quality and right price. But greater export trade opportunities await Canada from across the Seven Seas. wih ehh el Year by year Canada is exporting more manufactured goods. In a quarter of a century our export of manufactured goods has increased seven fold. That of our export trade now amounts to $700,000,000 annually, or about a quarter of our total factory a While Canadian manufactured goods have gained a foothold in some of the world's greatest markets, still the volume we export is small when compared with what these same markets import. Let us take a number of Canadian manufactured commodities, sold mostly in 23 countries, eight of which are in the Empire. Let us place the Canadian exports of these countries against the imports of these countries, and demonstrate the field for greater Canadian business: The possibilities for greater Canadian exports What 23 Canada countries ts to import Manufactured Commodity these 23 countries Rolling Mill Products $2,143,621 Tubes and Pipe (Iron) » 1,919,014 Machinery (not agricultural).. 4,298,667 Farm Machinery 15,430,149 26,379,152 9,918,000 5,568,261 97,900,000 15,291,224 64,955,000 1,286,000 215,977,000 116,920,699 626,375,000 62,065,5% 167,254,000 11,175,806 22,052,290 4,286,244 3,083,801 24,853,503 20,937,106 51,223,271 These are the latest statistics available, The 23 countries are: United Kingdom, Australia, British India, British South Africa, British Straits Settlements, British West India Colonies, Irish Free State, New Zealand, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Czecho-Sloyakia, Dutch East Indies, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, United States. THE OSHAWA DAILY !IMES. MONDAY. MARCH 26, 1928 The accompanying figures tell something of the possibilities for sixteen Canadian manufactured commodities already in the export field. They also show what Canada has accomplished in twenty-three countries --a creditable performance for nine million people scattered over half a continent. But we can accomplish greater things if we go after them in our straight-forward Canadian manner, - Every Canadian manufacturer should keep a map of the world hung up in his office --a silent reminder that Canada cannot live to herself. In entering foreign trade the Canadian manufacturer must be prepared to: 1. Give a standard of quality, 2, Make the articles required by the importer. 3. Pack in the manner the importer desires. 4. Deliver promptly, 5. Maintain contract dates. The advantages of export trade to the manufacturer are: 1. Keeps plants in full operation. 2. Brings about a lowering of production costs at home. 3. Lowers prices to honm= consumer, 4. Stabilizes employ- ment.
