FIE process of the establishment of branches'
of American industrial concerns within the
borders of the Dominion of Canada has
!been going an for a good many years ---ever since
at became apparent that no political party was
!'likely to modify very seriously the "protective"
• character o1 the country's fiscal policy. It might
hreasonably have been expected that the shock of
•war would put a stop, temporarily at least, to
this process of peaceful penetration; but the op-
'posite has been the case. Even since the recov-
ery of capital from its paralysis, eight months or
so after the war began, the establishment of Am-
' erican branches in Canada has been going on with
greater energy and determination than before, and investigation
has shown that the war, instead of discouraging such adventure,
has afforded new reasons to justify it.
Speaking broadly,•the American firms which have established
'themselves in Canada during the past twelve or fifteen months
have been actuated by one or both of two main considerations.
Either they have bad an eye on the Canadian domestic market, and
have regarded the present az a favorable opportunity for a cam-
paign in it became of their own abnormal cash reserves, and the
exceptional pro_ perity and activity of the Dominion; or (this Is
the explanation in the majority of cases) they have had an eye not
only to the Canadian market but also to the vast territory of
the Entente Atli..ns, and are convinced that in the fiscal arrange-
ments which will follow the conclusion of peace, no neutral coun-
try will receive "most -favored -nation" treatment from any of the
Allied countries.
Canada, cenihinine tee economic advantages of the American
continent, with Re we Oth of raw material and of skilled labor, with
the market advantages of a member of the belligerent Entente, is
thenatural basis o>• operations for an American concern with de -
!signs upon European markets. This, according to the industrial
commissioners of various Canadian cities, and of the Canadian
gaacific Railway, is the main motive in inducing most of the recent
'American branch establishments in Canada, and is likely to bring
!to Canada within the next few years industrial capital running to
;many hundreds of millions.
American concerns which have established plants in Canada since the
(beginning of 1915, is an imposirg evidence of the attractive power of the
(Canadian market and of Canadian export possibilities. It should be added
that all of the establishments ace substantial plants, built for meeting a
(large business and for carrying on, not merely a sales agency or an assem-
tbling process, but practically the entire process of production from the
purchased raw material to the finished article.
One of the first American products to meet with an avowed policy of
fiscal discouragement in Free Trade England, as a result of the war and
ats effect upon trade balances,was the automobile. The establishment of
branches of American automobile concerns in Canada has already been go-
ring on for some years, owing to the great growth in Canadian consumption
rot the article and the popularity of American brands. But the European
(situation has given a tremendous impetus to the movement. Existing
Tants have been vastly enlarged, and three new and important plants have
been undertaken, those of the Maxwell Motors at Windsor, Ontario, the
'{Chalmers Motor Company at Walksrvflle, Ontario, and the Chevrolet Motor
(Company at Oshawa, Ontario. This is exclusive of the acquisition and en-
largement of Canadian -owned plants by Alner'.can firms for the manufacture
,of American brands of cars/ a
One of the biggest industrial undertai:irgs of the year was that of the
,of an immense plant in Hamilton, Ontario. The famous packing house of
Proctor & Gamble Company, the proprietors of Ivory Soap and of sundry
other soap and cottonseed oil products, 'who have commenced the erection
Abbey, McNeill & Libby has established itself in Hamilton, Ontario (which
,
,city, it will he noted, is a favorite with American industries owing to its
combination of cheap power and good labor supply 'with the best of shipping
,facilities). The Flint Varnish & Color Company has put up a branch fac-
tory at Toronto, Ontario; and the Link Belt Company is locating in the
same cit;', Sherer & Gillett, makers of store counters, are establishing at

was first posted up Wednesday of last
week. There are 1068 names on the
been small compared with those of Ontario, but the present labor situation,
which is much more favourable in Quebec. is likely to correct that tendency
to some extent. An important asset to the industries of Sherbrooke, Qua
bec, is that of Kayser & Company, the famous manufacturers of silk eaves,
stockings, and other articles, The Aetna Explosive Company, at Drum
mondville, Quebec, has been improperly regarded as a war industry; it is
so for the time being, but its immense plant has been designed so as to be
applicable to the manufacture of dyes when the explosive business falls
off. A rumor, which appears to have good foundation, though not officially
confirmed, asserts that one of the great American chemical and explosives
concerns has made all preparations for the establishment of a plant for
the production of nitrates from atmospheric nitrogen at one of the hitherto
undeveloped powers of Quebec Province.
Several American concerns already operating in Canada have found
that their existing plants are not equal to the demands which they antici-
pate. The Dominion Sugar Company, which is largely financed by American
sugar -refining capital, is adding a big plant at Chatham, Ontario, to its ex=
isting buildings at Wallaceburg in the same province. The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company is removing from small premises at Bowmanvr-lle, On-
tario,
ntario, to an immense property which it has bought at New Toronto, Ontario.
These examples, all of them being enterprises undertaken long after
Canada's participation in the war and her financial sacrifices for that cause
were known and allowed for, are convincing evidence that the progressive
manufacturers of the United States have perfect confidence in Canada as,
a field for industrial investment. As most of them are looking for an export
trade, it would appear that they are satisfied that production costs in
Canada will not be materially altered after the war, either as regards labor
supply, cost of living, or burdens of taxation. Mr. Graham W. Curtis, In-
dustrial Agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, stated recently that he lead
found American business men greatly impressed by the showing of Jimmie)

George Blatchford, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Blatchford of Exeter, was
drowned at Goderich on Monday after-
noon. The body has not been recovered
and the finding of his clothes on the
river bank gave the first clue to the
accident. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Blatchford of Exeter and a
cousin of C. W. Blatchford, proprietor
of the Listowel Banner. Only last
week he went to Listowel to work on
the paper. He went to Goderich on
Monday on an excursion and went in
for a swim near the mouth of the Mait-
land River.
THE SOLDIER'S SACRIFICE
(London Advertiser)
Speaking to a company of soldiers
in London camp, an eminent divine
expressed the view that the soldier
who lost his rife in the trenches was
net saved to eternity because of his
sacrifice. We very much doubt if
there are soldieas who entertain the
controversy view. These Canadian
soldiers are men of intelligence. They
are fully capable of understanding
the relationship that their patriotic
services has to their spiritual salva-
tion,
It cannot but be admitted, how-
ever, that the spirit of self-sacrifice
and devotion which animates the Can-
adian in khaki bespeaks of itself a
nature that is most likely to be to
close communion with the divine.
Men do not enter upon tasks so seri-
ous without being impressed with
their need of spiritual help. Parents
of Canadians at the battle front note
a spirit of courage and trust in the
Almighty in letters from their sons.
Wives speak of the same thing in let-
ters from their husbands.
And so it may often prove to be
the fact that indirectly the soldier
does not reach a saving decision
through his act in placing himself
in the hands of his country, to work
out its defense. Men are ever led
to higher things through noble deeds
both upon their own part and on the
part of others.

KEEP THE BOWELS REGULAR
AND AVOID
CONSTIPATION.
When the bowels are not kept regular
they become clogged up with waste and
poisonous matter, causing constipation,
biliousness, sick headaches, piles, and
all kinds of liver troubles.
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills will regu-
late the bowels so that you may have a
free and easy motion every day, One
pill every night for thirty days will
cure the worst cases of constipation.
Mr. John J. Smith, Blginburg, Ont„
writes: 'I had been troubled for a great
while with constipation, and tried many
different remedies which did me no good.
I happened to try Milburn's Lasa -Liver
Pills, and I have found them most bene-
licial."
Milburn's Lasa -Liver Pills are 25
cents per vial, or five vials for '31.00; for
sale at all dealers, or mailed direct on
receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co.,
Limited, Torento, Ont.
THE ADVANCE IN RATE$
Each week we notice additional week-
ly newspapers annoucing an increase in
there subscription price to $1.50 per
year. They all have the same story:
On looking into their business they
found that at the one dollar -rate the
remuneration is not such as to make it
worth while to continue the business.
Besides, as everybody knows, as com-
pared with other things, a weekly paper
is now cheaper at $1.50 per year than it
was 10 years ago at $1.00 per year. We
are pleased to find that the public recog-
nize these facts and are readily paying
the $1.50 rate. We have added a num-
ber of new subscribers at the new rate
since it came into effect.
The office that seeks the man seems
