cant export Hinton from page 1 in Canada for export to Cubi The BOO pound machine sale for Vector Holdings of just under isn used for production Smith pointed out He added an electrical discharge machine would cost more than and the machine he bought from a firm south of Chirago would be for school training only Vector Holdings ordered the machine paying in advance including freight costs and when it arrived six months later the firm applied through a broker to Trade and Commerce for an export permit Smith said after six weeks word came back from Ottawa that the export permit had been denied He says he spoke lo an official of Industry Trade and Commerce Smith withheld the of ficialsnamelandwasinformed Verbally that the permit had been denied because Washing ton refused to allow Industry Trade and Com permission to give us an export permit Smith notes his uncle and president of the firm Frank Smith also contacted the federal government and got the His company can t export the educational machine to Cuba because it was American made and Washington doesn have normal relations with Cuba The United States clamps down and a poor little Canadian firm is the victim Smith ob served unhappily The machine will be extremely hard to sell in Canada Smith says and even If It can be it will be costly making calls and sending letters to possible buyers All this snould eat up Vector Holdings marginal profit on the deal Smith stated If it can I be sold in Canada the company can either keep it in Inventory paying high in leresl rates on the crated machine every day or send it back to America and lose up lo In freight and a possible to 15 per cent restocking charge Smith explained And all that Is above and beyond the loss of an 8 sale In addition the loss is There is supposed to be free enterprise in Canada I could understand this If we Canada had poor relations Cuba But wcarcon good terms with Cuba It bothers me that the United States government can tell the Canadian government what it can and cant do Smith declared He is quick point out he has a lot of respect for both the American people and their govern Further he believes the Yanks are get ting a raw deal around the world and he blame the United Slates for his firm dilemma But he does blame the Canadian federal government This is a reflection on our government he staled adding no matter which party is the government It is interesting to note his firm a problem transcends both the Liberal and Progressive Conservative regimes He d really like to know who Is running the Canadian government Canadians or Washington All he politicians are the same Liberals and the The country Is going down the tube It is ridiculous they won t get down to business They all say they care about small business but don I do anything Smith declared He admits sometimes he and his family wonder why they keep going in a business where they deal with governments and educational institutes because thoy hold all the aces Fortunately he says they don deal directly with foreign countries There arc too many horror stories for small business it too easy to lose money dealing with third world nations At any time there arc four to six people working for Vector Holdings so It definitely Is a small business what Smith calls the backbone- of our country We pay a lot of taxes but he wonders if anyone cares The company started back In and initially sold used machinery but then switched to whale sale and distribution in the late 60s Pleads not guilty stabbing charges A former Acton resident charged with one
