Probe alcohol As motor fuel

OTTAWA, Jan, 2- (CP)—Crop supplies, looked On as possible sources of motor fuel, have almost disappeared in Canada at a time when gasoline substitutes are being sought, departmental officials said tonight.

A committee of scientists, is mak- ing studies to decide the most

economical and effective means of"

buttressing existing gasoline sup- plies by iaking alcohol from fiat- ural iesources. The stildics will cover wheat and other form pro- ducts, various types of wood and mineral fuel.

spokesmen indicated that any substitutes developed would come from products other than those which may be used as food for man or beast.

Although a wheat surplus of

hundreds of millions of bushels re- mains in Canada, and examina-

A* tion of methods, of taking a‘cohol

from ivhcat has been extensive, lfllClills said there vats the rising

hope that all Canadian wheat would be required for normal food purposes.

OfficiaLs said alcohol extraction from wheat and other vegetable production could b0 undertaken tniough \vcll-estnbliz.\id methods used ill Europe for many years. But gasoline prices have always been lower in Canada and the United States and the process of turning vegetable matter into alcohol has been uneconomicnl.

Potatoes, sugar bot-ts and grains "1

other than wheat all glwc cppor. tunity for alcohol extraction. but in all such products the surpluses of a few years ago have practically disappeared because of large war- time foocl supplies required by tho Unitcd Kingdom and other nilirs. With lnrm products required to: normal purpose; officials said the tendency was to examine more closely the development of pro- ducer gas equipment. Fuelled with wo or charcoal, producer gas units attached to existing motor vehicles give reasonable service. More than 10.000 pl‘O(lllC('l' gas units are attached to Australian EOl/emment vehicles, costing about 8 0 each, and using about half a pound cf charcoal per ton-mile.

Expect removal 0f tariffs on. Wartime goods

Recommendation Was In Report By Cana- dian-U. S. War Com- mittee.

(By J. I‘. Sanderson, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2—-(CPl—— All tariffs 0n wartime supulicfl passing between Canada and the United States are expected to be removed within s month or six weeks by joint action of the two countries.

This was one of the recommen- dations of the Canadian-American war production committee report has been accepted by Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Pre- sident Roosevelt. Action has al- ready started to implement the re- port by preliminary investigations by the tariff commissions of the two countries, with legislative ac- tion to follow.

The object of the war produc- llon committee was to remove all legislative and administrative bit-l‘- riers standing in the way of the North American continent bccom. ing onevast arsenal for demo- cracy, irrespective of international boundaries or local considerations.

An illustration of what the com- mittee desires to correct will dern- cnstrste Why it recommended the abolition of tariffs. Both Canada and the United States fnce an acute shortage or zinc in their wartime production programs. There are several deposits ln Can- ada. that could. be mined if mar- kets were assured but they have never been developed because of an exceedingly high American tar- iff on zinc concentrates.

If the American tariff was re- moved the zinc deposits could be worked and both Canada and the United states assured of a steady supply__of this essential a line

In Washington it. is conceded by both Canadian and American gov- ernment oificlilLs that the aboli- tion of turilis will have a bene- ltciul cflcct on Canada's wartime economy, particularly on Canada's American dollar position.

It should have the effect, they say, of increasing Canada's ex. ports to the Unitcrl States and at the some time, relieving the Do- ini on Lcusury of millions oi doi- uirs s year in extra costs on war orders.

Canadian tziriif - although no money nciuuly is mvolved——is charged. ngn 1st, it, with the result tnut pro ssing and fnbzicating

costs are computed on this en- hanced price. With Canadian im- ports from the Uritcd states at the highest level in history. these ex- tra charge. originating in the tariff, reach very high figures in the aggregate.

It was impossible to find here any estimate of the savings that Canada will make through the re- moval 01' American tariffs. At the present time, Canada's American dollar position is only fair, due to abnormally high orders placed in the United Stat/cs and a. relative slowness in completing dellvery of American orders placed in Canada.
