Obviously there will be a serious
difficulty defining what constitutes
key and infante industries.
What principle can be invoked to
govern: decisions here?
Lord Beaverbrook is vague on Mat
point.
Any industry that has a key tie pro•
Sts under tarifa protection is probably
prepared to .argue that it. is a key in
dustry. .
Every htdustry in Canada, except
fox breeding, is probably ready to
argue that it is an infant compared
with British industries.
There are some other points .of in-
terest which will not be readily clear-
ed up unless Lord Beaverbrook by a
personal tour of the Dominions is able
to do so at firsthand.
