even more recent visit of the dominion president and provincial presidents to ottawa on the occasion of the annual submis sion of the ictfion brief to the fed eral government he told of the interview

canadian woollen and knit goods manufac turers association said speaking at the final luncheon of the associations three day 35th annual conference at the seign iory club mr dobbie said the sit uation faced by the textile indus try and three events that have ta ken place within the past year will have the most profound effect on our future r the three events the speaker said were the publication of the preliminary report of the royal commission on canadas economic prospects publication of the report on the textile industry by the can adian office of the national indus trial conference board and fin ally the decision of the minister of finance to ask the tariff board to conduct a complete review of can adian textile and clothing tariffs as a result we are now facing as in the clothing industry major examination this is likely to be the most crucial period in the his tory of these industries mr dob bie said there sias gradually emerged into rhe public and government consciousness the fact that these large and essential industries need more serious attention and more immediate remedies than have been considered before mr dobbie noted that close to three quarters of a million cana dians are directly or indirectly de pendent on the primary textile in- iustry for their livelihoods that the industry unlike much canad ian manufacturing is almost en j tirely canadianowned and is oper- i ated with the best interests of can- 1 ada and canadians in mind that capital investment at stake is ab i out three quarters of a billion dol- lars represented in more than 740 separate establishments ft is obvious that our industry 1 represents a contribution of no 1 small importance to the total ccon- omy of a nation in which as was pointed out in the gordon commit sion report manufacturing must play an increasingly important part he stated canadian manufacturers found inquiry and any action or lack of action that follows will have a pro found effect on our future for this reason we welcome the indica tion that the federal government is interested in our problems and we intend to cooperate to the fullest extent it will take a long time for the board to review and report on 160 different tariff items the urgent need is for the job tobe done with the greatest speed some sections of this industry need immediate relief from prob lems that have already been well documented to the government it is obvious that great britain the united states and most of all italy and japan will not restrict ship ments of goods to the country whiie the inquiry is underway the events of the past year have been encouraging if they reach what undoubtedly is their logical conclusion the canadian primary textile industry can look forward to a much brighter future mr dob bie

we like the story we hear about tat chamberlain walking with a limp on sunday in the parade it seemed he tripped on a tack imag ine a grown sergeant falling over a wee defenseless tack after that very well attended parade on sunday which you can read about elsewhere in the paper the president writer and other guests were invited out to the local armories as guests of the regiment a gesture we really appreciated it has been our feeling for a long time that the two groups should get together and we think that this is going to be the case incidentally earl li nee and ken murray propo sitioned

more direct importance to canadian textile manufacturers was the second major event of the past year- the publication of the report of the canadian office of the nat ional industrial conference board on the canadian primary textile in dustry which had been ordered by the gordon commission here again was an exhaustive impartial report prepared in an inttrnatiunallyrcctigriized busi ness research organization at the request of the gordon commission it has logically become the stand- tcx tile industry i the canadian primary textile j j industry had been accused in ccr- i tain quarters of inefficiency over- expansion lack of imagination etc i etc we for the best of reasons vigorously denied these allegations they simply were not true now wc have the carefullydoc umented whollyimpartial nicb re port which shows this industry to be by any standards efficient forward looking and by no means overexpanded in relation to the market it should have the privilege of serving through this means damaging misconceptions about our industry have been swept away i am sure that i speak for the entire canadian primary textile in dustry when i say that we are grate ful for the close scrutiny under which our industry has been placed it has accomplished more to estab lish what we know to be the true facts than we could ever hope to do by ourselves we now have an ob jective authority for those state ments wc have made many times in the past last month the government an nounced a tariff board inquiry into imports of textiles into canada this we welcome but tariff board hearings involve a great deal of work and are timeconsuming we only hope that action will come soon enough to save some of those canadian textile enterprises that through no fault of their own now find themselves on the edge of bankruptcy it is plain that the tariff board georgetown curling club welcomes new members enjoy this healthful sociable winter recreation in georgetown memorial arena where a friendly
