Breath -Taking Expansion

INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION in Ontario
:ontinues at a breathetaking rate with the
auphasis , on decentralization, Hon.
. William
eriesinger, Ontario Minister 'be Planning and
Development, disclosed today in releasing the
annual review of the -Trade and Industry -
Branch.
The report, submitted to the Minister by
Director F. J. Lyle, listed major expansions
and new plant developments of record during'
1950 and' remarked on two steadily developing
trends:
(1) Choice of smaller towns and cities by
a majority of companies establishing
new plants and plant additions;
(2) Growth of manufacturing, as the pre-
dominant factor in the Ontario
economy.
Analysing employment and production
statistics, Mr. Lyle said that 66 per cent of all
the men and women in Ontariodepend
on wages or salaries for their livelihood, were
now supported by the manufacturing industry
of the province. These 66 per cent of wage
end salary earners actually got '70 per cent
of the total payroll income, with the remain-
ing 30 per cent being divided amongst fish-
ing, mining, agriculture, forestry, transporta-
tion, business, communications, construction
and the service industries.
Further, the volume of industrial produc-
tion in the province and country set new re-
cords in 1950, he said. Taking the 1935-39
average volume as 100, manufeoturing produe-
teen in the country as a whole was at the
rate of 224.1 early in 1951.
"But it is in the industries in which On-
tario has a commanding leadership that the
greatest production gains have been recorded,"
Mr. Lyle added. "Volume of production in a
few of these- industries are: Primary iron and
steel -308.1; transportation equipment. -339.6;
electrical apparatus -398.6; motor vehicles -
:336.3; cement -394, and electric power -210.3.
"Rising prices have tended to obscure
volume indexes with the result that few per-
sons realize Ontario factories set new (volume)
records in 1950," the director reported to his
Minister.
Mr. Lyle developed the statemerieethat in-
dustry was showing greater interest in smaller
towns and cities by citing the record of new
branch plants established in the Province last
year. Of 77 new plants, no fewer than 51
chose locations outside the province's largest
industrial area.
"A number of factors influenced this trend,
including the availability and cost of housing
and labour," the Trade end Industry Branch
director reported. "Close proximity to con -
factor in some types of production and in
heavy nefacturing the source of materials
also counts heavily. But a substantial num-
ber of manufacturing enterprises prefer fav-
ourable locations 'in smaller towns and cities,"
Immediate problems facing industry in- '
clude credit restrictions, scarcity of materials,.
the director seid. These would produce peak
production in some industries end unem,pley-
mere, in others, But he thought the long-range
prospects for Ontario's industry as a whole
were never batter. Between 1947 and 1950
inclusive, Canadians invested about one-fifth
of each year's total production for new build-
ings and equipment.
"Reliable estimates for 1951 indicate that
capital, investment is proceeding at the same
pace The country in five years will have
doubled its facilities to produce in the future.
This gigantic development program has prob-
ablynot been equalled anywhere else in the
world, and the growth has been proportionately
greater in Ontario than in any other Canadian
province," Mr. Lyle said.
"For the last year in which production
was calculated in detail, Ontario fadmies pro-
duced goods valued at $6.2 billions, or an
amount equal to 50.5 per cent of the value of
all products manufactured in Canada.
"Investors in the United States are show-
ing an undiminished interest in industrial in-
vestment in Canada, and particularly in On-
tario," the director continued. "They now hold
$6.7 billions in Comedian investment, a huge
proportion of the total of $8.7 billions of for-
eign investment . . . All reliable projections
pn population trends point to a substantial
Increase in the population of Ontario. The
most conservative of these studies suggests a
population of 8.5 million persons for Ontario
by 1975. Another four million residents of
the Province within a generation would in it-
self provide a vast new market for our in-
dustry -virtually doubling our domestic con-
sumer market,"
Referring to a continuing link with the
industrial department of Ontario House in
London, Eng., Director Lyle disclosed there
was a growing trend on the pant of British
manufacturers to gain a foothold in Canadian
industry by buying controlling interest in ex-
isting Canadian plants. Mentioning four recent
and substantial 'transactions of this type, he
concluded:
"It has been recognized that this method
of entering the Canadian manufacturing field
has outstanding values, end that the purchas-
ing company thereby secures established Can-
adian staff, goodwill, sources of supply, mar-
kets. etc."

COMMENTS ON CTA
The Editor,
Clinton News -Record
Clinton, Ontario
DEAR SIR:
The recent action of 19 mem-
bers of the Huron County Coun-
cil in voting for procedure lead-
ing towards the repeal of The Can-
ada Temperance Act in the
County filled the minds of many,
electors with consternation. Some
have felt a compelling urge to
speak out. Let us not be fooled.
It is not those who wish to de-
crease the consumptioe of intoxi-
cating beverages in Huron County
who have sponsored this move.
We salute the courage of the
eleven Com -caters who opposed
any change.
Let the electors mark well the
names of their representatives to
County Council and how they
voted. Let the electors remember
that the repeal of the Cenacle
Temperance Act in Huron County
was not an issue in the election
which gave these men their seats.
Deserving of censure in the
strongest possible terms is the
action of men who attempt to
usurp an authority not justly
theirs. Let elected representatives
remember that the freedoms of
democracy purchased end held at
great cost cannot be treated as
trifles with impunity. Who is
there who can truthfully say that
the vote registered represented
the will of the electors of Huron
County? .A vote of the people
made the Canada Temperande Act
a law in Huron County. A vote
of the people is required to re-
move it.
I am of the strong opinion that
a number of County Council votes
cast in favor of the Repeal Re-
solution were cast without due
consideration of what the vote im-
plied. A lack of awareness of the
possible consequences is evident.
My business takes me from one
end of the Province to the other
several times each year arid I
have ample opportunity to see
the conditions prevailing under
the Liquor Control Act. I have
heard on many occasions, in a
large variety of places, outstand-
ing business men condemn these
conditions in the strongest pos-
sible terms. It is common crit-
icism from men, often not tee-
totalers themselves, that boot-
legging is rampant tinder The
Liquor Control Act and further
that the curse of the beverege
room is only exceeded by those
rooms of greater infamy where
mixed drinking is permitted.
Let those who decry The Can-
ada Temperance Act because of
certain abuses which. prevail
under it remember that our courts,
high and low, from one end of
the Province, to the other, have
the unceasing task of dealing
with law breakers and infractions
of all kinds of laws. The Canada
Temperance Act, in spite of those
who for their own reasons would
upset it, gives us conditions in
Huron County very much to be
preferred over those prevailing
under 'the Liquor Control Act.
Yours truly,
(Signed) -E. S. COPELAND
