that the united states govornmont has exempted can ada from all their recent res trictions on the flow of capital outside of the united states in this way united states subsidies in canada will be allowed to re tain their profits in canada- for use in canada in addition the government has made arrangements to borrow almost 1 billion from other countries to serve as a reserve to safeguard tho position of the canadian dollar tho resolution on tho 3 por cont surtax is now before tho house of commons and is ox- pectod tobe totatod immediately it is anticipated that like the previous dofoatod
