THE MOTOR CAR INDUSTRY | Ri 'S. McLaughlin, president of General Motors of Canada, in a state- ment on the outlook for the motor aerate, discusses 'the tariff tac tor, and says: "The duty on separate "items which it is necessary_to import "to manufacture a car in Canada, even when drawbacks are applied, often reaches a total Jrostet than the duty ed on a finished car." 'hat does not seem fair to the in- 1 try, if it obtains at all generally. er these parts and materials are Rualiable in Canada in the desired juality and at su i able prices or they wre not, If they dte, the manufactur- sr does not require to import and pay "duty; if not, the duty is illogical and unecessary; it is not required for ' protection of domestic industry, but hy werely adds to the cost of the finish- ed products. But a glance at the customs sched ules shows that Parliament has been ided by this very principle. A long gn of parts and accessories, including horns, distributors, ammeters, oi gauges, gasoline gauges, carburetors dometers, vacuum, tanks, welded pt housing and gaskets of copper and asbestos, are free, if "of a class or kind not made in Canada" The list of dutiable items is quite short, thouth certainly important, Batteries and boiler parts pay 30 per cent., tires and bodies 35 per cent, but these are made in Canada, in quantity and quality which makes im- tation unnecessary. In fact, Mr, Laughlin mentions that "nearly all our bodies are made in Canada, Cliev- rolet motors in Walkerville, axles and other items at cur Mackinnon plant in St. Catharines, and fenders when- ever the quality justifies it." He adds "We are Re raw material for our cars from several hundred Canadian and British sources, and that helps the percentage. Only if our market were broadened, and a production volume attained that a stable pro- tective tariff would give, can we work up ultimately to a higher percentage. Quite as cffective as further pro- tection on motorcars would be reduc. tion of duty on parts and materials, according to Mr. McLaughlin's state- ment first quoted, But is not clear to what items it applies. As to a broader market, he believes the saturation point has not yet been reached in Canada, as there are hun- dreds of thousands who have yet to purchase their first cars, It is true also, that the Dominion imports ans nually many million dollars worth of foreign cars, but this is partly coun- teracted by the export trgde to Em- pire countries. Mr. Moen says that "even free-trade nd has a general tariff of 33 1-3 per cent, while in Canada the general rate on small cars is only 20 per:cent" But purchasers in England do not have to pay the general rate on small cars; there is a preferential rate applying to those of Canadian manufacture. Canada does pay the general rate, because our imported cars come from a non=Empire country next door, IS HUNDR GD PER. CENT RIGHT (From the Border Cities Star, Windsor) Dr. Lee DeForest, retiring presi dent of the Institute of Radio Engin eers and generally regavded as one of the principal scientists contribut- ing 'to the discovery of modern broadcasting and receiving equip ment, has returned to a top that gave him a great deal of publicity some months ago. Dr. DeForest leaving office, has seized the occasion to utter another vigorous warning against what he calls "insistent ballyhoo of sales k on the radio, which is consum- the vitals of the organism." He that sales talk now "viciously interrupts, 70. per cent of entertain: ment pi "" and that this over dose of' ublicity is largely re. sponsible the general falling off in radio sales during the last year, - Dr. Dé Forest 18 100 per cent right.
