TARIFF DOES NOT BOOST PRICES

Reiuting the contention that Canadian manufacturers‘ prities are determined by the amountof protection which they enjoy and notby- costs of production, Mr .l~‘. W. Stewart, President of the Mon- trenl Branch oi the Canadian Man- ufacturers Association, appearing before the Tariff Committee in Montreal, said _“A careful study of prices of goods made in, Can- adian factorierras against goods of similar quality and standard in other countries, will prove that

tlon is what all manufacturers strive for; for it means placing the manufacturer in a better posi- tion to meet competition. With the large number of industries in Canada. and small population to consume their output, every man- ufacturer must ﬂght bard for the business he secures, and statis- tics will show that a very consid- prable percentage of manufac- turers who start in business in Canada do not survive on account of not being able ‘to proﬁtably meet compettion. We wish to emphatically refute charges made in certain sections of our country that prices of products of Cana- dian factories are regulated by the tariff and not by cost of pro- duction, and we beg to draw at- tention to the fact that, after cir- culatlng these charges for many years, those who made them did not produce evidence in support of their statements at" any of the previous hlttings of this Commis- sion."
