Made in Canada, or all of their export trade from their Canadian factories under present or revised tariffs of 7arioua countries. Industrial commissieoners through- out Canada are receiving numerous inquiries in connection with sites in their industrial districts from United States firms contemplatng the estab- lishment of a new industry here. The outstanding feature in connection with the inquiries of these United States concerns seems to be that they are all awaiting the much-discussed preferential tariff of the Allies. Probably 90 per cent, of the corre- spondents desire no publicity regard- ing their inquiries, apparently not de- siring their competitors in the United States to be advised of any intention of establishing in Canada, Prior to the war there were estab- lished in Canada branch factories for the production of asbestos, barrels, brtttons, `carpet sweepers, corsets, con- densed milk, bags, corks, carriages, couches, brass goods, ' billiard tables, cash registers, disinfectants, flypaper, files, fire extinguishers, fountain pens, phonographs, hardware, pickles,. presses, pulleys, razors, rubbers, shoes, scales, typewriters, watch cases, tobacco, &c. MILLIONS rro CANADA. Cost of Fifty Branch Plants Estimated' at $15,000,000. Since the outbreak of the Europeann war, about fifty Americanindustrial corporations have opened branches- tablishments in Canada. Most of these have gone to Ontario, several to Que- bec Province, and a.,, few to western. cities of the Dominion. It is conserva- tively estimated that these fifty plants represent an investment of $15,000,- 000. Prior to the war there, were about 450 such companies in Canada, so that the total investment of the 500 concerns must at least amount to $150,000,000. For years prior to the war, a,num- ber of American industrial corpora- tions, such as the International Har- vester Company, the Singer Sewing Machine Company, and the Westing- house Electric established plants in various parts of Europe, including Russia. Since the war, however, the extension has been largely in the dir- ection of Canada. Many concerns have found it advantageous to have plants in Canada because of the sav- ing in the cost of distributing their product and also .for tariff reasons. Following is a partial list of the articles manufactured by American companies that have recently located in Canada: R. ilway accessories, overalls, chemi- cals,' hemi cals `' silverware and flatware, automo- biles, horseshoes, steel goods, patent medicines, . spices, soaps;,. perfumes, glue; beet sugar, pumps, greenhouses; railway signals, fuses, boxes, spread- ers, silk gloves, stockings, tires, steel, steel products, canned goods,, automo- bile varnishes, belting, store counters, explosives, pulp and paper, sewing machines, alexite and other abrasives and electric furnace products, grain and elevator, machinery, silk and chamoisette gloves, refined nickel, and. cottonseed oil products. The total , of American investments' in Canada, according to The Monetary. Times of Toronto, is $978,000,000, of which $150,000,000 represents the branch factories. Discussing what it calls "the United States' commercial invasion," The Monetary Tinges says: Since informal discussion in vari- ous quarters has been heard as to the possibility of favorable tariffs among the Allies and the Dominions after the war, there has been an impetus given to the movement. of United: " States branch plants to Canada, and a num`= ber of inquiries continue to be made by United States firms witha view to their establishment in the Dominion_ In the event of favorable tariff treat- ment as between the Allies and the Dominions, these United States manu- facturers in Canada expect to be re- garded as, Canadian manufacturers, and thus entitled to the benefits of any such favorable tariff legislation. These firms._ are now in a position to I 'eater at close range to the demands of the Canadian; market, and hope also to be in a position to handle some A CAUSE OF IT DIGESTION People Who Complain Trouble Usually Are of This Thin EVONPOiT ONCE VERY UNPOPULAR WORKINGMEN PRAYED GOD TO S'I RIDE IIIM. }LEAD., Organization of fort of London Was a Reznarka le Accom- plishment. A strong man—strong physically as well as mentally—with a capacious head firmly set on sturdy shoulders,' a decisive mouth, and a determined, clean -lined chin—that is Lord Devon- port, Food Controller in the Lloydd George Government. The First Lo of the Larder, as he has been aptly termed, is already making himself felt in the Old Country. ' He is likely to do so with inereasing stringency. For that is Lord Devonport's little way, You may admire him, or you may dread him. But you can scarcely be unaware of him, Four years agoLord Devoliport's .., name was anathema to a large sec- tion of the British working classes.

This is proved by "the case of Mrs..3. Barris, Gerrard St., Toronto,,` who says: "About three years ago I was' 'seized with a severe %attack of indigestion, and vomiting.

Then L went to a' doctor who gave me Some powders, but they seemed actually to make me worse in- stead of better. This went on for nearly two months and by that time my stomach was in such a weak state that I could not keep down a' drink of water, and I was wasted to a skeleton and felt that life was not worth liv- ing. T` was not married at this time and one Sunday evening on the way to church with my intended husband I was taken with a bad spell on the. street.

That, in briefest 'outline, is the story of Hudson Kearley's successful business career. To -clay Lord Devon- port, Peer of the Realm, landowner, and millionaire,' declares that there is no romance about it—nothing in it which cannot be emulated by others. For he attributes his success to his possession, not of exceptional talent, or exceptional good fortune, but of exceptional industry. Ilis early energy is still unimpaired -like so many of the men Mr. Lloyd George has gathered around him he is a tiger for work -and to it he has he came in for a larger amount of abuse than usual.

There's a Reason'' JAP KNIT GOODS. HIT HARD. Britain'sa Ban on "Imports" Effects a Growing Eastern Trade. Great Britain's war ban on importa- tion of knitted goods will probably prove to be a great blow to the Jap- anese knitting industry. During the ten months ending October 31 the total value of this line of goods ex- ported to Great Britain reached $9,- 000,000. In addition, contracts enter- ed into call for delivery of additional goods up to next .Tune, amounting to $6,000,000. Exporters have held coirferenees urging the "Japanese Government to strive .for the rescinding'of the or- der. It is claimed that the order is not a friendly measure of an allied nation and that it will injure the friendship between the two countries. Itis also feared here that similar bails will affect other lines of Jap :mese' manufecture.' The immediate effort of the British order will be' the suspension of many factories and the throwing out oe em- ployment of -thousands of workmen, As a result of the Japanese repre- sentations :the British Government' has announced that the enforcement of the prohibition order ,would ,,be postponed until January 1.

They gave us the clue to the exist- ence of a very remarkable state of affairs, and revealed the identity not only of the spies amongst us, but also showed that German military desperadoes had been despatched to, England in humble guises, but with special instructions to carry on cer- tain sinister work, quite distinct from espionage. These < Huns were raiders whose hope it was to strike, on the outbreak of war, sudden and deadly blows with explosives and by other means, with the object of crippling our naval and military "or- ganization. For a time they consti- tuted a very grave menace to our country. What blows they actually struck cannot here be revealed. Cer- tain disasters were, rightly or wrong- ly, attributed to them. lie saw the Port of London Act safely into law, and then became head of the public body which was to be ran as a public utility. The salary of $20,000 a year is attached,to the post. But Lord Devonport refused to touch a cent of it. The honor of serving the. country was enough, he said, for him. As has been said, that service brought him into almost unparalleled unpopu- larity, though it gained him the re- spect of those who like to see a man stand through thick and thin by what. he believes to be right. Lord Devonport, in spite of all his hard work, is great atoutdoor pur- suits. He loves a tramp through the stubble after the, partridges. He is a great gardener, and yachting` and boating are also among his hobbies. FARMS FOR VETERANS. What the C. P. R. Is Doing For Re- turned Soldiers.
