The only reason cited was his NATIONAL NICKEL POLICY NEEDED Pro-German Influence in Connection With the Niokel Exports. CAA CANOT REFUSE ITS NICKEL TO BE EXPORTED, Or the United States Might Reply by Shutting Off Our Supply of Anthracite Coal. Ottawa, June 20.~In the House yesterday Mr, Maclean declared that Canada needed a national policy In regard. to nickel. The treasury to-day was in -need of money, and it appeared 'to him two companies which should contribute by way of taxes were the Interna- tional Nickel and the Mond Nicol Companies. If Canada was really in control of nickel and the precious metals contained in it, why did shé not 'assume her control. He was not going further into the matter at the present time, but he warned the Government that certain facts with regard to the expoft of nickel! during the war would be brought out in England which would show that there was a pro- German influence in connection with these exports. It had never been brought out just who the con- trollers of the International Nickel Company were, but he would not bs at all surprised to find that KX was controlled in Germany. He advo cated the taking over of nickel min- es by the Government, Sir Thomas White said that a lot of the remarks of the previous speaker had little to do with the item under discussion. « As far as the free admission into Canada of nickel was concerned, it was mere- ly a continuance of past practice. Nickel had hitherto borne no duty. The member for York South had made vague statements with regard to nickel exports from Canadi dur- ing the war. Sir Thomas deelgred that everything which the Govern- ment had done with regard to nickel during the war period had been done with the hearty approval of the British Government, Can- ada had not allowed nt of the coun 3 " TO ALLOW adian nickel had dallen GH man hands, but even this. happened would of nickel to the United States? Such action might have raised a grave question 'with 'that country," Sup- posing the Unitéd States had re- plied by shutting off our supply of anthracite coal. Instead of doing 50 she had been very generous "to us in giving us coal. y f With regard to Mr. MacLean's contention t ithese nickel com- panies should be taxed, Sir Thomas declared that the Canadian Copper Jompany, which was the holding company for the Internatfonal Nickel in Canada, was being taxed. It: was impossible to tax the Intér. national Nickel Company because it Was an American concern, He re- sented any insinuation that the Government had been remiss in cone trolling nickel during the war, Mr. MacLean, speaking again, sald he was not making charges, but again iptimated that some interest- ing developments might shortly be expected.
