(Sydney Post-Record)

a -, I". f- ‘ ‘ to. the Report of the Royal Economic Com-V mission, its Chairman, Professor

mummy picture oi the prosperity the Syd- ney steel industry might have en- joyed under an all-round free trade system. ‘

“The existence," he says,“ of a large supply of coal in Nova Hectic. and of an abun‘ * supply of iron , ore at Wabana provides a natural: advantage of the first importance in the manufacture of iron and steel. ‘Under a free trade system the money cost of coal would have been

coke oven plants, steel furnaces, rolling mills and fin- ishing plants would have been far ‘lower, while wages and other cur- rent costs of production would also have ‘been characteristic cf those arcvailing under a free trade sys- ~ m. “The industry might have devel- oped so easily and quickly as to secure and maintain a considerable pert of tbs central Canadian market hat is now supplied by central Canadian establishments.

“It would undoubtedlyhave been able to build up a considerable ex- port trade and become a far more important seat of production for the markets of the world than has been the case." .

Soaring still higher on the winp imaginat r1 ' ‘Jones add: "Under the more favorable cost conditions which s free trade sys- tem would halve maintained.» ex- ports might have been expected to. grow far more rapidly and in many more directions. Moreover, since the colt o: transport is not a serious matter in relation to rolling stock. it:

tree trade m Nova‘ Bcotia would have been a far more unper-

the Jones footnote stare the most

aalllti reader Iuuarely in the face. * IIIIIII

Professor Jones that Nova flcotia‘: con reserves

is highly probable that under a dos

l

would never have been, established hers were it not for the abundant supply of coal in its immediate vicinity.

But where would thqflolilery 1n- dustry of this Province be, if it were , not for the tariff protection it has | enjoyed for more than half a cen- tury? Everyone knows the answer.‘ Even as it is more than half the Canadian market is supplied from American mines, Under free trade, Novascotia, coal would be off the market, our mines closed, our colliery workers absorbed long slnu in other occupations. .

.Professor Jones’ ideal free trade system, he himself frankly admits, would» mean lower wages for Sydney steel workers. as well as cheaper liv- ' ing standards. ‘Ihey stock for that‘ kind of thing for long years in Eng- land, but. would never do so in Can- ads._ The value of a wage-worker's servioeshould bear a reasondble ratio to internatricrlal standards, and no. induat y could-"be of much advan-I tags to this province which would force its» cmployeestc accept lower pa and less favorable standards" ‘of liv ng than obtain elsewhere.

In assuming that the products of the Sydney steel plant compete chiefly, in Quebec and Ontario with those of ‘Central Cansdaian estab- lishments," Professor Jones shows c remarkable lack of knowledge of the situation on which he offers advice to the people of Nova Bcotia. l By far the largest supply of. such products reaches Central Canada from the United States, where the tariff structure is and always has been considerably higher than in Canada. This ircumst in itself is surely a conclusive answer to the Professor's ' contention that free trade is the ideal route to success in a competitive market.

The case of Professor Jones is of course easily understood. Ho is under the double handicap of being a confirmed Cobdenite and a book‘ economist. Every practical indus-g trlalist knows that the two greatest factors in cost reduction under‘ modern conditions are mass pro- duction snd mass transportation. A factor of, almost equal importance, Henry mom coxltends.—arid he a one of the worldsglargest employers c" labor.-"-is a well-paid force of skilled workers. And yet Professor- .v~ner holds up the deal ofreduced wages as affording the key to suc- cessful industrial operations in such an enterprise as the Sydney steel industry! ’

‘Mr. Johnston and IA fessor Innis are to be congratulated on not being responsible in any way for the precious "foot-note."
