: West Ind

Increase Is Urged

OTTAWA (CPL—Liberal George Mellraith called on the federal government Monday to take “bold, imaginative and construc- tive" action to establish free trade between Canada and The West indies federation.

Mr, McIlraith, opposition trade critic, said in the Commons that no area in the world compares with Canada and the West In- dies as countries with mutually- complementary goods to ex- change.

The member. for Ottawa West, introducing a resorution urging Canada-West Indies free trade, said he did so not to produce a “merely academic discussion of free trade” but in an elifort to “free trade to the greatest pos sible extent.” .

He said the government al- ready has taken steps to increase trade with the federation, through appointments of trade commis- sioners in Jamaica and Trinidad where Canadian trade fairs are being organized for next year. '

.He spoke specifically of trade with the federation, Canada's newest Commonwealth partner. which, he said, accounts for about 75 per cent of Canada’s en- tire Carilblbean trade. ' '

In 1936, Canada had exported goods worth $8,629,000‘lo islands now in the federation and im- ported $13,305,000 worth. Last year, exports amounted to $40,- 276,000 and imports $58,430,000.

Canada traded wheat‘ flour, fish, textiles, meat, tobacco, lum- ber, motor vehicles and other goods for West Indies’ sugar, bauxite and aluminum, petro- leum. molasses, rum, cocoa, cof- fee, spices and citrus fruits.

Mr. McIlraith said there are-

ies Trade

many problems involving in free- ing trade with The West Indies, with whom Canada had traded for some '200 years. 3

For one thing, the federation now was in the midst of setting up a customs union for_ al‘ its islands. Currency exchange reg- ulations, now I imposed on the sterling—area federation by the United Kingdom, needed to be eased. ,

Shipping facilities, too, would have to be improved now that the government had decided to sell the eight-ship West Indies fleet of the Canadian National Steam- ships, tied upr a year by a semen’s strike.

Despite these difficulties, he sid, trde could» be empnded. COLOMBO PLAN IDEA

Heath Macquarrle (PC Queens) said trade expansion with The West Indies had been sought-since before Confedera- tion in 1867..

Colombo Plan aid to the area—— an idea seconded by James A. MeGrath (PC—St. John's East). Chesley W. Carter (L—«Burin— Burgeo) said the Canadian and West indies economies supple- ment each other. The best way to boost exports was to boost the income of the consumer, he added, outlining methods by which Canada chld assist the federation. Free trade would do the Newfoundland ‘salt and indus- try more good than a subsidy. J. W. PickersgilllL — Bona- vistafllwillingate) said the gov- ernment should “seriously con- sider” handing over' the CNS West Indies fleet to the federa- tion under some mutual aid ar-

rangement.

Economic Breezes Blow, Creole Economic Chill

ViCTORllA. B.C. (GP) — The provincial government has ob- tained a court injunction ordering striking officers and engineers back to work on Black Ball Fer- ries. '

Attorney-General Robert Bon- ner said the injunction was issded by Mr. Jrstice A. D. McFarlane in B.C. Supreme Court.

It was understood that the unions can’t appeal the injunction until July 29. ‘ .

This would mean that if union members didn’t return to work immediately they would be held in contempt of court.

Menlbers of the two unions in- volved struck late last week, ty- ing up water service between the island and the B.C. mainland. :Officials of the Marine En- gineers Union and the Merchant ServiCe Guild called their mem-

bers out. clamng nothng was beng accomplished in an Ottawa bid to end the SeaIia-rers’ Inter- national Union strike which has tied up CPR coastal ships since. May 16.

When the strike statred against Black Ball, the line was ‘op- erated by the B.C. government under the Civil Defence Act.

The line was taken over be- cause the government felt it was “a disaster" tor Vancouver is land to be without adequate ferry facilities. r c At present the island is being served only by Washington State ferries. \

The enm'neers an‘d oflficers of the Black Ball line are seeking a wiper-cent wage boost, the SIM wants 5 per cent. Black Ball is offering eight per cent.
