Importers Hold Agreement

May Cause Shortage In U. S.

NEW YORK, Nov, 8 (U. P).— The agreement recently arrived at

between Great Britain and the U 8. whereby cattle hideg will be furnished to France, Holland, Belglum and Norway during the next 90 days will. meet a protest from importers and the consuming industries here, it was learned today. The agreement, to become opera- « tive through the combined raw materials board, covers shipments to these countries on a 3'-to-1 basis, with. this country furnishing the higher figure. It is understood that Great Britain will supply 47,500 hides from its foreign markets and the U. 8. will furnish 87,500 with some additional hides to be shipped from the domestic market,

Increase Seen

Importing and consuming industry observers are said to believe the initial agreement to supply the four European countries with hides is only the beginning and that the quantities will be increased as European needs increase. Under the agreement the foreign hides will’ be supplied before the U. 8. and Great Britain quotas are filled on the 3% -to-1 basis that has been in operation under the C, R. M. B. program. Drastic shortages of hides are. certain to be even further aggravated for an indefinite period or until the return of a “free” market, importers said, and they take exception to the plan because under it the hides will be delivered to the European countries through Great Britain, which may use the hides itself if it encounters delivery difficulties. These, however, are to be replaced when deliveries can be made,

OTTAWA, Nov. 8. Before the first Canadian soldiers began moving overseas to help defeat the ‘I Nazis, thee Dominjon’s government had a civillan committee under a noted educator studying reconyersion and post-war economic ptoblems,

Dr. F. Cyril Jamies,” principal of McGill university, was made chalirman of an advisory committee on reconstruction formed in Septemberg 1041. That committee, which drafted the services of topnotch technicians, was directed to study reconstruction problems and to report to a special cabinet committee

ment. Future Depends on Trade

Its findings were handed over to the government Séptember 24, 1943. Two months and eight days later the first concrete step toward-hand-ling post-war problems was taken by creation of a crown assets allocation committee. Nine days later, Dec. 8, 1943, the War Assets Corp., Ltd, a government agency, was incorporated to handle the liquidation of all publicly-owned war plants, equipment and materiel, A key finance department officikl often described as one of Canada’s best-informed “brain-trusters” summarized the post-war preparation that Canada has actually set in motion, and outlined the approach that the Dominion is taking, based upon the thesis that Canada's future depends upon revival and expansion of her international trade.

Reconversion Outlined

(1) The department of munitions and supplies (nearest counterpart of the U. 8. war production board, but with broader interests and authority) is planning how to turn war

and smoothly to civilian production, as rapidly as they can be spared. (2) The War Assets Corp. will receive all government-owned plants and try to channel each to civilian output, or dispose of it, with a minimum of disruption and delay. The corporation also will try to dispose of all surplus commodities so as neither to compete unfairly with new production nor to hold those surpluses back until they have lost all value,

Exporter Ald Provided (3) An export credits guaranty act has been adopted under which Canadian exporters will be protected against losses and through which other governments can be aided financially to buy Canadian- made goods, (4) An industrial development bank has been provided, which superficially resembles the American RFC in its functioning, except that the RFC was created to salvage de-pression~-torn businesses, while the IDB. is designed to facilitate the formation of new industries and the expansion of old ones.

UNITED KINGDOM

By 8. BURTON HEATH ) NEA Staft Correspondent OTTAWA, Nov, 8—~Canada is releasing her control over the manufacture of civillan commodities by a much simpler, more straightforward method than that followed by the U. 8S. In the U. 8, specific consumer items can not be made until the WPB grants permission for each. There has to be a separate authorization for hair pins, for bobby pins, for common pins, for safety pins; for political buttons, for wire clips —and so on up and down the line. Donald Gordon, chairman of Canada’s wartime prices and trade board believes that it is not the government's business to decide what kind of consumer articles shall be made, or to use war emergency controls either to protect one manufacturer against another or to prevent “wasteful competitive practices.” Restrictions Cut

So the WPTB is merely revoking restrictive orders as fast as possible, and permitting industry to use whatever materials, plant and manpower are not needed for war production. A long list of prohibitions already has been rescinded, and

during the first post-war year, business taxpayers can charge half of their repair expenditures against the last pre-war year, encourage industry to catch up, at once, on deferred maintenance and repair, in order to provide immediate employment and also to get

ready to use more , Workers in the a

future, Production Stimulant

Also, to prevent the 100 per cent excess profits tax from depressing industrial revival before it can be removed after the war, it has been provided that, after a date to be proclaimed by the government, all new investment in depreciable production assets can be written off, for income tax purposes, at twice the normal depreciation rate, This is expected to stimulate immediate

private investment in new produc-|M™

tion facilities. (6) The housing act has been revised so as to ease the financial requirements upon builders and to promote both public and private construction, For the first time life insurance companies will be permitted to build low cost housing. One major U. 8. company is said to be ready to take advantage of this as soon as the war permits.

The James committee thought that perhaps $1,000,000,000 of public works will be necessary. It is the idea of many that the pool of public works interrupted by the war will

be ample to meet this emergency.|c

The subcommittee expressed the idea, however, that the Dominion

" may have to finance such works in

excess of perhaps $200,000,000—that is, if $1,000,000,000 is spent, the Dominion may have to provide as much as $800,000,000 of it.

Canada Gradually Lifts Lid on Civilian Production

the lid will be virtually taken off and thrown away when Germany capitulates. Rationing and price controls will be retained as long as there is any need for them to prevent inflation and to assure the equitable distri-

‘bution of inadequate supplies of

consumer goods. Bottlenecks Predicted

“There will be bottlepecks in reconversion,” reminds Mr. Gordon, “just as there were when Canada first converted its industry to war.

The supply of materials or com-|B ponents cannot always keep pace Ce

with demand. “We may well be in a period of ‘trickle production’ of many articles that have been scarce or off the market. It is possible that speculative pressures will d greater scope in the uncertainties of demand and supply following the reopening of peacétime markets.” To meet these dangers, Canada|Y has decided to maintain price controls, at the basic level of 1941, so long as abnormal war-created conditions persist. As new goods appear, they will be priced at a level that would have prevailed in the fall of 1941, if they had been available then.
