Canadian Minister Speaks In

CHICAGO (CP) Canadian. Trade Minister C. D. Howe Mon-1 day night appealed to United! States corporations to throw openl more of their brdnch operations

in his country to Canadian in-

vestors and managers.

He also urged parent companies

to let their Canadian branch

plants handle a greater share of export business and to report

on their financial operations.

In a speech to LDC Canadian Club. he said the vast majority of Canadians will continue to wel- come American investments. but Americans must reckon with the pride and nationalism of his coun- trymen.

He said he hopes Canada never will impose rigid laws controlling foreign enterprise. 'But it would be "good business" for a Cana- dian subsidiary of a foreign com- pany "to become as Canadian as it can."

Many bring in their own technicians and managers, reducing chances of Canadians getting top jobs. Many do not al- low their branch plants to handle export orders, even though these orders might have been drummed up by Canadian trade commis- sioners paid by Canadian tax-

payers.

"Mind you," said Mr. Howe "we do not object to doing oc- casional export promotion for United States corporations, but you will agree that it is rather difficult to justify the expense to the Canadian taxpayer."

FOUR PROPOSALS

He urged American industry to accept these suggestions:

1. Canadian participation as minor- ity shareholders in subsidiaries.

2. Provide greater chances for advanc mi of Canadian techni- cians and executives in U.S.-coII- trolled 'ompa.nies.

3. Make public more and reg- ular informatinn of branch oper- ations.

4. let Canadian branch plants take on more export business so they will act more "like 8004. solid, Canadian enterprises."

Mr. Howe said that though hll subject has political overtones in Canada, it is not likel yto become an issue in the American has toinal election. -

The Canadian government and the vast majority of Canadian welcome foreign investment, b said. To shackle capital imports would reduce Canada's "fantas- tic" development rate. The fact of Canada was being "literally transformed."

But while Canadians saved a higher proportion of their incomes than did Americans. only about three-quarters of current capital investment was being iinanced out of dornes' The re- mainder came from imports. mostly born the 11.5:
