Geneva T211“ Bring Empire Trade Changes

Dy 1K. CAI-III!!! (Canadian Pnoolﬂff Writer)

OTTAWA. Ndv. 14 - (om -A historic port of Canadian tariff structure is expected to got o go- ing-ovsr when trade agreements made at Geneva are debated in the House of Commons opening Dec. 5.

'I'hls is tho kitisb pmforonco system pioaocod Csnsds 80 yous ago which expanded into a network by which countries of the Commonwealth made special con- cessions for the entry of' ssch others goods.

Opposition monitors designated by their parites to take over the debate on tariff matters will, have s busy time going over details and implications of the agreoment; and l complaints already have boon

In 1808 Mr. Fielding nomad the tariff what it had really been, the British Preference, when he brought in s bill increasing the margin of preferences to 1-4 and extending its provisions to other Empire trading countries.,1n 1900 the preference margin was 1n- creased to 1.3

Torilf Llltlxponds

In 1919 tho United Kingdom sought to reciprocate, but her tar- iff schedule was limited to about a oooro of articles, chieﬂy luxur- ies. From that time Britain's tar- iff list expanded from year to year as she moved sway m free trade.

It was not, however. until the depression that she was in o pos-

ition to grant important prefer- ences. In 1,931 she posed the Ab- norms] Importstions Act which put a 50 per cent ad valorsm duty on many lines or goods from for- eign countries but allowed Em- pire goods in free. Thefso were add- ed to in 1932. preceding the 1m- perisl Conference in Ottawa that year. (An ad valorem duty, as the name indicates, is based on the value of the goods. Sometimes tar- iffs are based on quantity, such as so much a dozen. This is called s specific duty).

The Ottawa conferences. initia- ted by the late Lord Bennett built up the comprehensive systém of Imperial preferences, much as they exist today. Eleven trade agree- ments were signed among Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa. New Zealand, India. New- foundland, Southern Rhodesia and the Irish Free State. The agree- ments were much the same except that each dealt with the commod- lties in which the two signatory countries were particularly inter- ested.

The 1932 agreements were for five years and in 1987 a new ag- reement was signed between Cari- ada and Britain which maintained them with minor changes. willie agreements with other Empire countries were extended.

In 1938 the United States, Brit- ain and Canada signed a new set of agreements by which Britain reduced some of her tariffs against the United States. thereby reduc- ing Canada's preference in the British Market. Britain put wheat hack on the free list with Canada's consent; and the three countries each made tariff concessions.

heard that tho time is not suffic- lent.

Tho most important angle doubtless will be how the agree- ments affect the British prefor- ences. Will Canadian exports be able to hold their overseas mark- ets with the preferences in those markets narrowed or disappearing altogether? Will tho lower tariffs offered by United states offset any losses? How will they affect the adverse balances in Canada's tirade

Slotted By butter

The British preference system reached its high point in the years from 1932 to the present. It grew from a small beginning in 1897 when the government of Si: Wilf- rid Laurier adopted o Reciprocal Tariff by which goods from Brit- ain, Ireland British India and New South Wales came into this country 1-8 lower than the regu- lar tariff.

Why it was called a Reciprocal Tariff is not clear. Probably ‘the finance minister. Hon. W.S. Field- ing, foresaw unfavorable reactions from foreign countries and sought to make it clear that this gesture was in appreciation of the fact that while most other countries had stiff tariffs against our goods, Britain let them in free. She also let the goods of all other countries in free and as far as tariff im- posts were concerned, she could not reciprocate.

The only foreign country to react was Germany which slapped on a special tariff against Canadian goods in addition to her regular tariff. Canada in return added a. super-impost against German goods. This caused Germany to back down and both special tar-

In return, roughly half of all classes of goods which Britain ex- ported to Canada were allowed in free - some 185 articles in the Canadian tariff. These included hooks and many lines of printing matter and printing machines; a long list of chemicals; most oils and tabla wear; unwrought alum- inum; a wide variety of steel and lion products; gasoline engines, automobiles, motor cycles and ma- chinery. Some British textiles came into Canada. free but mostly met a tariff somewhat lower than ‘hat against United States tex- ‘lies.

As the war progressed Canada ieaded for a shortage of United ‘rates dollars and in December. i940. she passed the War Exchange Conservation Act which put a l0 per cent exchange tux on nearly all goods bought from the United States. and sought to buy more ‘rom Britain by a further lowering of tariffs. (The Exchange tax has since been rescinded.)

LAUNORY CENTRE TAKES DRUDGERY OUT OF WASHDAY

By DOROTHY CAREW

NEW YORK. Nov 14 — lAPl — About 2.000.000 families in the United States tote the family wash to thc nearest self-service laun- dry ccntrc. ‘

washers began to be userl for ccn- -tral washing facilities in apart- ment houses in the late '30s.

Just three years ago the pub- lic laundry centre came onto the scene. The soap shortage was at its peak and there was little hope of replacing war-worn home wash- ing machines when thc first one opened its doors in New York.

Now it is estimated at least 1.600 iurits are operating in more than (l3 towns and cities from coast

to coast. Besides that, some 38,000 coin-operated washers are being used in apartment houses, in col- leges and industrial plants.

The laundry shops are designed to take the drudgery out of wash- day. Some operators go farther than that. They use a variety of methods to make their service at- tractive to the housewife.

Some centres have play pens and entertainment corners for children. Others provide facilities for women who want to knit. write letters or chat with friends. A new “super laundry store" in Los Ang- eles has a trained "sitter" to watch children whose mothers Iwant to shop while the machines work.

Frills Too

A Chicago unit has an arrange- ment with a neighboring beauty parlor so patrons can haveltheir hair done on the spot. Other stores have television sets and card tables for their patrons’ use.

But. operators say the frills are of secondary importance. They claim women like laundry centres because o; their time and labor- saving features.

A woman can get s nine-pound wash dons in 30 minutes at a cost of 25 cents for use of the machine. she handles her own wash, and It is done automatically from the point where she tucks it into the
