At first, everyone knew it was a lie. By the second telling how- ever, it had becomne a "ru- mnour". On the third round, it was "1reliably reported". And, after that, everyone knew that it was the truth. Tell a story - even the most outrageons lie - often enough and it eventually comes to be recognized as the truth. Which is what has happened to the belief that small businesses in Canada are less active in export mar- kets than big firmis. Some popular misconcep. tions really don't matter a great deal. Does it make the slightest difference whether the telephone was invented in Brantford or Buffalo, for example? But other misconceptions do matter. The issue of ex- port drive is one of those is- sues that counit. We live, after ali, in a global economy and any group of firms which fail to compete for international business are lettmng the home side down, as it were. For many years, the small business community bias been claiming that it does pursue export markets vigorously while big business bas been arguing that only large-scale firms are capable of getting into foreigners'pocketbooks.

But a new study by Talaat Abdel-Malek of the University of Saskat- chewan bas finally cast a sci- entific light on the entire dis- pute. Abdel-Malek bas found - after surveying large numbers of big and little businesses - that there is no significant différence between the ex- port attitudes of big business and those of small business. In fact, smiall business in Ca- nada is every bit as active in the export fields as are Cana- dian big businesses. If anything, Aýbdel-Malek's study would seem to fail to take full account of the role of the smaller firms. A sur- prisingly large portion of the production. by small manu- facturing firmns is donc as sub-contracting on major contracts by big business. The big business assembles the components produced by the smaller businesses and then exports the final pro- duct. Even though the smnall firm's production is destined for the export market, it only Town of Bowmanville Village of Newcastle Village of Orono.

Time and again, our na- tion's economic counsellors have advocated creation of more big businesses as the answer to Canada's interpia- tional trade problemns. Abdel- Malek's study shows that in- dustrial strategy to be quite inadequate. Discrimination against small Ifirms cannot be justified by international trade considerations.
