THE USHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1929 Say Canadians Negligent In West Indian Trade Toronto, March 14.-- Pointing out that Canada's to the bys Indies for 1928 represented a t "$19,414,000, being an in- crease of $2,200,000 over 1927, the Canadign Manufacturers' Associa~ tion pe issued a statement with the ol of refuting any idea that Cana- dian business men are indifferent or apathetic in the matter of trade with the West Indies, The statement fol- WED . _ "Recent articles appearing in the ress at different points of Canada ndicate that a good deal of misin- formation is being circulated by re- turned visitors who make public statements respecting conditions in the West Indies and respecting the trade 'between Canada and the West Indies. which are not supported by a real re of all the facts, The Commereial Intelligence Department of the Canadian Manufacturers' As- soclatign have had these reports and article drawn to their attention and have been asked to provide some information supplementing that which has been receiving publicity respecting the trade between Can. ada and the West Indies, "It has been stated that Canadian business: men have not been taking advantage of their opportunities in the British West Indies, Canada's exports to the West Indies increased by $2,200,000 for 1928 over the year ending = March 31, 1927, The in- creased sale of $2,200,000 of manu- factured goods per year in a widely distributed market is no mean task however willing the buyers may be, as any sales manager will attest, In the year and a half between the two periods whose figures are com- pared, Canada had suffered under the much curtailed psailings from Canadian points, only now being ree- tified by the five new ships, When compared with the business done by Canada's principal competitors on the basis of comparative production, or in relation to respective total ex-|- rts trade, Canada stands in a very h rank indeed in the British West Indies, : "Criticisms are made based on the complaints of one or two West In- dians whose dealings with one or two Canadians have not been fully satisfactory. There are few places in the world where mutual faith in one another's business representa- tations play a greater part in the continuance of good business vela- tions than in the British West In- dies, That such instances for criti cism are rare is best evidenced by the fact that Canada's business has continued to grow; new lines of goods are being steadily introduced with completely satisfactory results. | "It 1s suggested that few Canadian salesmen visit the West Indies, How can any casual visitor determine that point? Not a ship leaves Halifax or St, John for the West Indies with. out carrying a good quota of Cana- dian business men going down for the first or the tenth time to exam- ine the economic conditions, get in touch with prospective customers or agents and to bring home substan- tial orders or prepare the way for gome oné else to do so, It is diff- cult to support the criticism that Canadian business men are indiffer- ent or apathetic when one looks at our total export trade to all the Bri- tish West Indies, In the last calen: dar year it reached a total of $10, 414,000, It takes real effort and real service to sell the quantity of goods represented by that sum. The growth of business is the real test and will continuously act as a real incentive to Canadian exporters to maintain their steady use of the improved steamship, trading and banking facil- ities now offered and to enlist fur- ther aid for the Canadian trade commissioners who have given such fine service in the Caribbean terri tories." NEW RAILWAY TO BE OPENED IN JULY Quebec, Saguenay and Chi: bougamou Line is Progressing Quebez, March 14--The new Que- bec, Saguenay and Clubougamou Railway will start operating in July next, with a regular service over the first section, between Alma and Peri- bonca, stated Hon. A. Turgeon, Speaker of the Legislative Council of Quebec and one of the principal di- rectors in the new road. "In this section, the road is prac- tically completed but for the laying of the rails, which will be started next spring. Thanks to the excellent preparatory work which has been un- dertaken, our engineers count on lay- ing a mile of rails a day. "As for the big bridge over the Sa- guenay River which we are to build, the Dominion Bridge Company sent 50 per cent of the super-structure to the scene on Feb, 1, and the remain- ing 50 per cent will be soon sent along. As the piers have already been sunk, the erection of the bridge is a foregone conclusion, According to 'calculations made by our engin- eers, trains will start circulating on July 1 between Alma and Peribonca, "The second section, which is to link Peribonca with Mistassini will have to be completed by Jan. 1, 1930, according to the terms of our con- tract. The rapidity with which the first section has been completed is a good sign, and we will soon have the satisfaction of seeing an excellent ilroad - threading its way through one, of the most interesting, and at the same time one of the richest, re- gions of the province. The Quebec, Saguenay and Chibou- amou Railway is headed by Lord Gainford, who is president of the road, while Sir Henry Thornton, prdiident of the Canadian National thways, is vice-president. i Explorer Welcomed New York.--Retpraning from his merial exploration of the Antaretic, Sir Hubert Wilkins is to be the eity's guest at an official welcome U, 3, FARM RELIEF PROGRAM AWAITED Agricultural Leaders Pre- pared to Accept With Little Delay Washington, March 14.--Agricul- tural leaders in Congress are prepar- ed to accept the Hoover farm relief program with as little bickering and delay as possible, ! .

A haze was reported over the Arc- tic Circle which would undoubtedly delay the return trip.
