STRATFORD BOTTLING COMPANY PELDPIIONE, 78 STRATPORD, oNT, is NORTH AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS "Quotation from Speech" The question I leave with you for deliberation therefore is very It is that we of North America stand at a crossroads. If we take one road we accept the new roles of North. America. It requires that we furnish a ready import market for the goods of other nations, and also that we supply dey:' elopment capital for less advanced re- gions, Following that road we may hope to see an expansion throughout the world of .the good life which is our North American heritage, based as it is on democratic institutions of a type which have yielded the best way of living that civilized people have ever established. If that.be true, as I profoundly be- lieve it to be, then the alternative choice need not be stated. That is the summary in his own words of a speech delivered by Donald Gordon before the National Foreign Trade Convention in New York, He was speaking as deputy governor of the Bank of Canada tones more frank, more vigorous than most men occupy- ing such a position. He perhaps felt freer to give his forthright advice to Americans in view of his recent ap- pointment to the C.N.R. presidency. In the past 35 years, he declared, there have been tremendous changes in the realm of world trade. Before 1914 Europe was the dynamic centre of world economy. North America was helped and nourished in its devel- opment by Great Britain and the coun- tries of Europe. The war of 1914-18, with its devastation and the exhaus- tion of the people, brought about the end of that era. Even Um' loans and gifts were made to the Old World by the New, full recovery was never ach- ieved. With these loans went the erec- tion of trade barriers by America against the very products which Eur- opean countries were best able to pro- duce and thwarted their every attempt to develop markets for their products. Staggering were the war debts carried. There followed the depression of the 30's. with its unemployment and falling prices. Since 1939 foreign countries. have been unable to find sufficient resour- ces in gold and dollars to pay for goods they need from North America. Therefore, these countries have found it necessary to restrict their expendi- tures in the dollar areas to the level of their income and to produce them- selves goods which could be more cheaply and more efficiently produced in North America. This inevitably leads to the reducton of American ex- ports. LoanS and outright gifts have come from both U.S. and Canada, which indeed for a time after the last war were necessary and desirable. Then came recently devaluation of cur- rencies which was intended to bring prices in the dollar and non-dollar areas more into line. - All these measures, Mr. Gordon pointed out, brought temporary relief without effecting a far-reaching cure. More fundamental corrections must. be made. Canada and the United States,. but more particularly the United Stat- es, as the only great cerditor nation, must reduce harriets to foreign trade and accept foreign competition as an essential factor in a free world. econ- omy. It is necessary for Americans to assume the responsibilities of provid- ing a reliable market for foreign goods and for underwriting the devel- opment of the countries, who will send their goods to them. This policy of un- derwriting, he added, skilfully done, could be very profitable for the cred- itor nation as well as being very ben- eficial to the debtor. As an alternative, besides the stran- gling of our own exports through the dollar-starvation of our European customers. Mr. Gordon pointed that those countires still outside the Iron Curtain would go unaided. They must be assisted in increasing their pro- duction and in building up their econ- Untie and socal defence against a brutal and ruthless form of imperialism which is seeking to destroy everything Ave ttt, hold dear.

No group being assisted by govern- merit subsidies, controls or bonuses at the expense or by the taxes of another group in society will admit this is socialism. But the Marxian plan was to tax and tax one group, spend and spend on another but larger group who would, for favors reached, vote and vote, until, even inside the party sys- tem, one party would emerge in Con- tinuing control. Thus the people will gradually tax sod vote themselves into complete dependence on a paternal government, Freedom is the only atmosphere and of which the best can come for only the free man really invents, explores t and proceeds.
