Cayley Hill, the Goderich businessman who ac'coni,panied Export Minister Pepin on his recent mission to the„ People's Republic of China, told a class • of students and businessmen Tuesday night that Canada needs exports . to continue the expansion of its economy. Speaking to a session in international marketing, a seminar series at Waterloo Lutheran University arranged by Dr. Herman •Qvergaard, professor of international business, Mr,'. Hill Said:, • "Canada needs 2,600;000 neW jobs in the 1970s.making it crucial that Canada broaden its economic goAls and diversity into every feasible market in the world. We cannot afford to rely on only Qne market - be it the U.S. or any other country., But diversification provides, the, necessary continuity and stability .we .require when any one market is disrupted," said Hill. The world-trayelling. Mr. Hill is vice-president and ; ,general manager Of the Dominion Road 'Machinery, Company, a firm that operates from a small Ontario 'town but regards the. entire world as its ' market. Mr. Hill leaves within days on another welling' rip in Europe. Mr, Hill warned his listeners that the proposed U.S. Domestic International' Sales Corporation ,• (usually called DISC) could become taw this fall -and will. encourage more manufacturing ,for world trade within the United_States at the expense of Canadian firms. "The advantage which DISC will give U.S. exporters must be counterbalanced by equally realistic and hard-nosed policies in ,Ottawa," sad' kill. Specifically,' he added, where . gov'ernment activities are operating positively in • the overall' improvement of the Canadian business world - such as In industry, trade And commerce programs - they should be continued and • expanded. As for the new labor �egistatOrri -Mr.. Ht» was hopefut that "business would get the government to be a bit more co-operative and • perhaps even morerealistic in changing these , policies before they become law." He insisted that in a private enterprise economic system, such, . as exists . in Canada, business and not government should have the predominant voice. , ,,, "Only through better business practices, better policing of our own .activities, can we bring the initiative back where'.1t-belong,he. said. "The only way this can happen," he said, "was for the individual businessman, as well as business associations, to improve their record, and insist that they are, in fact, more competent to manage their ,affairs than is `big government'." "Industry must make itself_ heard and government should listen," Hill said. Turning .to..his specific topic of ' financial planning for export, the. Goderich businessman said the ' financial part of any export sales • program is highly .amportant.since_.the..terri s.of.sale are highly important to the foreign buyer. If credit must be offered, the exporter should discuss the ' problem with his bank and als `with the Export ort o p Development Corporation. Another important „point is the exporter's attitude toward • • export pricing. In the world , market place frequently . goods and services of equal quality are available from a number of sources. Canadian firms, to be successful - and success means jobs for Canadians - must look carefully at their pricing structure. • "Profits are - important , but atteripts at•making a high profit, or loading a price with excessive overhead costs, could well 'be fatal. There isa.no prize foraose• who „come in second: •,The successful bidder must be aware in advance of the competition he. faces," Hill•said. Mr. Hill also told his listeners that the department of trade and commerce maintains 'abroad, a highly efficient foreign trade service, often regarded as the best in the world. These men.,can supply a tremendous quantity of useful ' information about specific market conditions:" "Make your offer clear, concise and couiplete - and then get ot9 and sell,' - he Concluded.
