He gave his attention from the be- ginning to the development and strengthening of the external trade of the Dominion in existing paths and to blazing new trails of commerce. He created a new office: that of Com- missioner of Commerce, and installed in it a man cf wide experience. Mr. Richard Grigo', until then a British trade representative in Canada. Mr. Grigg not long afterwards .undertook an official journey through the Orient and part of ‘Russia, spying out new markets in parts of the world where there exist trade possibilities of great importance to the Dominion. Since the outbreak of war another agent has been sent into Russia, Mr. C. F. Just, former Canadian trade agent in Germany. Since the war an agent has also been sent to Oriental and other coun- trio: with a view to discovering mar- guidance has taken its rightful place as a directing factor in the creation, improvement, and expansion of Cana- dian trade. The Department in the last four years has been brought up to a point of efficiency and of direct usefulness which has been of the ut- most consequence to Canada during a period of Serere commercial strain. A Rich Experience. . Sir George Foster was able to bring to this work of reorganization a rich experience, the fruits of years of study, and a capacity for work which has always been the wonder and admiration of those who have been brought within its range. As a seasoned administrator, as one fa- miliar from close association with the growth of Cana la, recognized inter- nationally as an authority" on com- mercial and fiscal questions, Sir George Foster had, in taking charge of this important branch of the public service, an unequalled grasp and un- derstanding of those questions with which he wa- called upon to deal. From the outset his administration has been fruitful. His first work was to enliven the existing machinery, to improve it and to add to it. He oiled the wheels. and he increased the steam pressure. The steps which he took were taken far in advance of the war, yet not far in advance of the possibility of war. How far'Sir George Foster may have seen into the future nobody knows but himself, but the fact remains'that the measures which he took in the first few months of his administra- tion could not have been adopted more happily had he known the cer- tainty of war and the day of its com- TIE work which the Depart- ment of Trade and. Com- merce has done for Canada under the administration of Sir George Foster would have been an immensely valuable one. in times of peace, and its re- sults were, in tact, bringing im- portant and far-reaching benefits to the Dominion prior to the outbreak of war. But the real value of what the Minister of Trade and Commerce has done and is doing has been proven by war conditions. The fact that Canadian industries and Cana- dian trade have been able 'so suc- cessfully to withstand the paralysing influences of a trade disruption that has been world wide, is due in no small degree to the Wise, prudent, and far-sighted policy pursued by the Minister of Trade and Commerce, first in equipping the Department to cope with just such conditions, and secondly in bringing the improved service into the closest co-operation with every branch of Canadian indus- try and trade.

Sketch by McConnell. l l l i l Not the least useful change has been in connection with the Weekly Report published by the Department for the information of Canadian busi- ness men. This report had for some years suffered from a lack of what newspaper editors call “live news.” Its usefulness under these conditions was very small, and its usual destina- tion was the waste-basket. It is now one of the most valuable of all the Government publications. Trade “'ith \Vcst Indies. Very soon after taking office as Minister of Trade and Commerce, Sir George Foster took up the question of improved trade conditions as be- tween Canada and the British West lIndies. This opportunity had been long neglected, although its existence had been known in Canada as far back as 1892 when, as a member of the then Government, the present Minister visited the Islands in the in- terests of trade extension. There was no neglect of it after the return of the Borden Government. Sir George Fos- ter at once opened negotiations which resulted in a .visit of British West In- dian. delegates to Ottawa and the con- clusion of a. reciprocal trade agree- ment, which has been mutually bene- ficial in a very large degree. Canadian Representative. Sir George Foster’s wide know- ledge of Imperial trade conditions led to his selection by the British Gov- ernment as Canadian representative on the Dominions Royal Commission. This Commission was engaged just prior to the war in visiting the vari- ous Dominions of the Empire and col- lecting statistical and other informa- tion with regard to the resources, production, and trade of the several Dominions with a view to possible im- provements. The Commission’s work, although incomplete owing to the outbreak of the war, has been done with peculiar thoroughness and will prove of immense value in the reor- ganization of Imperial trade which is ~certain to follow when the war ' closes. Interim reports already issued l by the Commission contain most val- uable information with regard to the present and possible development of Imperial trade. The Grain Commission. The administrative activities of the Minister of Trade and Commerce have by no means been confined to the development of the external trade of the Dominion. The Canadian pro- ducer has not been forgotten. Can- ada, although the greatest wheat- growing Dominion in the Empire, was sadly hampered up to a few years ago by the inadequacy of grain- handling facilities. The difficulties which faced the grain-growers were not those of transportation alone. The lack of proper housing facilities was his first and most immediate trouble, and a very serious one. Sir George Foster removed it. Under his direction the Government has built a string of public-owned and operated. terminal elevators from the Great Lakes to the Mountains, is building another on the Pacific coast at Van- cou-ver, and plans to build yet an- other at Port Nelson in connection with the construction of the Hudson’s Bay Railway. The last of the prairie elevators, that at Calgary, is in opera- tion this fall. The Grain Act also was overhauled, its defects removed, and its benefits made more directly , applicable. J The ocean freight rate problem was being dealt with by Sir George Foster before the outbreak of.war. The question increased inmagthde and in difficulty with the withdrawal of so many large ships from the Catn- adian servi‘c'e by the British Admir- alty, and became mOSt acute this fall with the necessity of providing ade- quate tonnage for the transportation of Canadian wheat. Sir George Foster has given to this matter close and un- remitting a-ttention and study, With the result that arrangements are be- ing made which will go far toward the solution of the whole problem. “'38 Acting Prime Minister. Sir George Foster while in Ottawa. was the acting head of the Govern- ment during the absence - of Sir Robert Borden in England. His long administrative experience has- special- ly fitted him for duties of this kind, During the early months of the war Sir George Foster had much to do with the British Government’s war purchases in Canada, and in this cap- acity he showed himself as keenly alert in the details of practical b1181- ness as in the larger questions of de- partmental administration. kets for British Columbia timber. and a very important trade is ex- pected to develop as a result of this step. The Commissioner of Commerce visited British Columbia this sum- mer in connection with this enter- purse. 9': British Consular Service. Each step or this kind is taken under the close personal supervision of the Minister of Trade and Com- merce. Improvements in the trade service are still being made. One of the early benefits obtained for Cana- dian commerce by Sir Goerge Foster was the placing of the whofe British consular service at the disposal of Canada. About War Contracts.
