CANADIAN INDUSTRY
PROWS AT RECORD RATE
Trade Minister Howe said recently
that the industrialization of Canada is
proceeding at a rate hardly matched
by any other country in the world. He
made this observation in an article pre-
pared for the current issue of Public
Affairs published by Dalhousie Uni-
versity at Halifax, He added, "as a
result of this expansionist process and
other favorable conditions, our manu-
facturing industry has been ablle to
more than treble its output in dollar

terms and about double it in real
terms in the short space of 10 years".
This industrial expansion is largely
due to the fact that „Canada has a free
enterprise economy and the initiative
for industrial expansion originates
with private individuals and firms.
Private initiative is encouraged with
the result that industry thrives and ex-
pands. Between 1945 and 1948 Can-
ada invested $1,000,000,000 in plants
and equipment for the manufacturing
industries—more than was invested in
the four years preceding the Second
World' War and the corresponding
period of Canada's last investment
boom in 1926-29 taken together.
Some of the increase was due to

construction last year are soon to be
completed and- ready for occupancy, it
is time to think of increased industries
for the town. While Wingham is for-
tunate to have the present number of
valuable industries in the community,
it is nevertheless true, that the Indus-
trial life of the town must advance
or recede. Things cannot stay dor-
mant, they either go forward or back-
ward.
In the past, Wingham has known
periods of progress and also periods
of stagnation and recession in its bus-
iness life, Progress can only be pro-
cured by bringing hi new industries or
increasing the capacity of the present
ones. Wingham, has the public utili-
ties, Stores, schools, churches, trans,*
portation and comMunication services,
social services, auxiliary businesses,
etc„ necessary fora much larger pop-
ulation, The whole life of the comm-
unity will be benefitted by a larger
population and it requires more in-
dustries to bring more people, to the
town,
The present tax rate is abnormally
high and one sure way to lower taxes
is to have more people paying tastes
for the same 'civic expenditures. If
more industries are induced to locate
in Wingham, contractors and private
individuals will be encouraged to build
mote houses. If future hottting de-
Velopments are kept close to existing
streets and public utilities that would
Mean an increase hi the taxable asseSs-
tnent without a corresponding jump
in civic expenses, thus lowering the
tax rate,
New' or increased industries Would
benefit every existing business, reA

higher prices, but in volume terms the
investment exeeeded any past achieve-
.ments. In 1948 alone, Canada spent
!close to WO millions, or $46 fur every
man, woman and child in this country*
-tin expanding our manufac luring fa-
cilities, Our gross national product
Lin 1948 will exceed $15 billion, of
'which some four per cent. went into
investment for manufacturing, The
United States, the most industrialized
,'country in the world, spent about
!three per cent, of its anticipated gross
!national product on capital goods for
'its manufacturing industry last year.
Canada now is producing a large
number of commodities or parts which •
were fornierly imported from the U. S.
Also, Canada is now exporting, or pre-
paring to export, many manufactured •
articles which many of her customers
used to buy from the United States,
In 1919, agriculture was Canada's
Most important industry, contributing
44 per cent, of the total net value of
commodity production against 38 .per
cent, for manufactruing. By 1945,
manufacturing had increased its lead
to 52 per cent, against 21 per cent. for
agriculture, and the trend is still con-
tinuing, * *
CANADA STILL HAS
ROOM FOR PIONEERS
Canada still has room for pioneers,
with virgin land on the fringes of the
settled areas, or civilization, awaiting
pioneers to turn it into homes. And
the pioneering spirit in hardy Canadi-
ans and in Canadian immigrants is not
dead, because pioneer settlers contin-
ue to push the boundaries of the
settled areas farther and farther into
the once little-known hinterlands.
Just recently an organization has been
formed in the County of Kent, Eng-
land, known as "The British Settlers'
Association", which plans to bring 100
families from Kent, to set up a self-
supporting community, named Kent,
in Ontario,
Already 100,000 acres near Timm-
ins, Ontario, has been made available
to the settlers "at a nominal price" by
the Ontario Government, which has
also offered to assist the settlers . by
supplying water, electricity and labor
for the initial clearane of the ground.
This land will be divided into farms
of about 350 acres each, and the im-
migrants plan on wheat-growing and
pig-farming. Although the Ontario
Government is interested in the
scheme and has offered assistance, all
the capital is being found by the immi-
grants, each, of whom has between
$2,000 and $5,000.
So far, 82 families have been hand-
picked from a list of more than 700
applicants. All come from towns and
villages in Northwest Kent and among
the successful applicants are machine
fitters, bricklayers, carpenters, decorat-
ors, electricians, butchers, bakers,
plumbers, concrete workerS, black-
smiths, hydraulic and electrical engin-
eers, surveyors, farmers and nursery-
men. Among the settlers will be more
than 200 children ranging in age from
three months to 16 years, but no old
folk, or at least none older than 53.
These hardy pioneers are sick and
tired of government supervision and
they want to stand on their own feet.
They are willing to make their own
way the same as the pioneers of other
days and they do not look to the goy.
ernment to smooth the way for them.
They are the kind of immigrants that
Canada needs and there are thousands
more like them eager to come from
England and other European coun-
tries. It was pioneers like these who
were the forbears of many of the pres-
ent-day inhabitants of this land, and
Canada has room for hundreds of
thousands more of them. There are
still large areas of Canada waiting for
pioneer settlers.
