heavy Flow W II. S. Capital To Canada

OTTAWA. June 1 -- (GP) — United States capital is flowing into Canadian industry at unpre- cedented rotes. the Bureau of Sta- tistics reported Monday. Preliminary returns for 101s in- dicate that total U3. investmerrs in Canadian business and industry for that year may exceed $3.700- 000.000 — an increase of more than $156,000,000 over 1047 and s gain of at least $23,000,000 over 104d.

It means an increase of more than $800,000,000 over the pro-war 1939 total of $1,88l,000,(x)0.

The biggest part of the 1948 total showed in manufacturing - ap- parently a favorite for U8. invest- ors - which in two years jumped from 01.308.000.000 in American capital in 1946 to more than al.- 800,000,000 in 1M8.

While the bureau lacks up-to- date figures on other foreign cap- ital in Canada, it noted that in 1947 when US. capital amounted to $$,l87,000.000, total foreign invest- ment came to $7.l'l'5.000.0iltl.

U18. investments compared then with 81.642.000.000 held by the Un- ited Kingdom and 8346000900 held by other overseas countries.

C. N. R. Claims Before Commission

MONTREAL, June 1——(CP)-—The Canadian National Railways, in a submission to he placed before the Royal C mission on transporta- tion this week and made Public Monday, says “the Canadian Na- tional considers that its capital structure is unsatisfactory.”

The railway will urge:

1. That consideration be given to determine whether it is esscnllfll ’that all forms of transportation be under a unified control:

2. That notwithstanding the pre- sent division of authority between the Federal and Provincial Govern- menis, it would be beneficial to control competing services from the standpoint of national public convenience and necessity;

3. That the railways should have a scale of rates which would inter alia accomplish the following ob- jectives: obtain for the railways a fair return on prudently invested capitol; apportion transportation charges as equitably as possible be- tween different sections of Canada and as applied to various commodi- ties; enable the railways to per- form that portion of the country's transportation which can be per- formed more economically by rail- way than by other means of trans- port;

4. That the “agreed charge" pro- visions of the transport act should be amended to make the agreed charge more effective in obtaining for the railways traffic which they can carry more --- ‘ "y than competing forms of transportation.

"The fixed charges are grossly excessive in relation to the carn- lng power of the railway or when compared with the fixed charges of other major railways," the submis- sion adds.

"In 1923 Canadian National was required to assume without miti- gation the debts of its bankrupt predecessor corporations. The as- sumption of these heavy debts by the newly-organized system is the principal underlying cause of the present excessive fixed-charge bur- den."

The Royal Commission opens its public hearings at Winnipeg to- morrow.

The railway says, "that the fin- ancial difficulties of the company do not arise in their entirety from overcapltoiization but also from operation of railway lines which can bear no fixed charges and as a result place an excessive burden on the remunerstive lines. There is at present an unbalance between the level of ratés and tolls and the level of expenses of operation."

The management says it views the C.N.R. as the pioneering rail- way of Canada. bearing a large share of the responsibility for de- velopment of national resources.

I "The railway is also o! vital strategic importance," says the sub- lmission." .. .. Lines connecting the ‘ports in the Maritime Provinces with the rest of the country were

of outstanding (wartime) strategic value.

"There are many instances of thin-trsffirlines which are per- formlng' essential services but which are operated st a loss, even when consideration is given to their feeder value to the rest of the system. Lines of this nature will be found in all parts of Can- ads; the line from Halifax to Yen mouth. the line from Centreville through Fredericton to Saint John. “To be added to this category are the Newfoundland railway and steamship services which were re- cently entrusted to the Canadian National for management and oper- stion. These services were operated at a loss, prior to union. The loss will be aggravated by substantial decreases in freight and passenger tolls, and by increased operating costs and the discontinuance of subsidies."

llpsurge In llome Sewing Exiends Also To " tiiilinery

NEW YORK, June 1-(OP)- A few years ago most women didn't know how to blanket-stitch. Now they know the difference between a gusset and grommet and talk wisely of dogets and tacked her- ringbones. / The upsurge in home sewing has left sewing-machine and pattern industries panting with huge back- logs of orders to fill.

But it isn't only dresses, suits and costs that woman are making. They're also making their own hats.

Some stores specialize-one store haw nothing but flowers and feath-

I ers: another veiling and ribbons:

and still another all shades and sizes of hat forms, which csn be twisted, bent or out into any shape. The biggest rush for forms and trimmings comes just before Easter but even during the summer there is a brisk trade. ‘ "Nowadays women want a dif- fersnt hat for each outfit." explains one salosglrl. “That runs into money and that's why so many of them make their own." The ‘bne hat” girl is warned to consider small Items of her ward- robe when making her hat. "Even things like scarves. handkerchiefs one costume jewelry can add im- measurably to a hat-provided it's right and they're right." said an- other selesglrl.

P "I1 of the 28 L.A.A. RegL. R.C.A. had the opportunity of put- ting into practice one of the many phases of training that has been carried out during the winter months when one hundred Officers and men from Charlottetown, Bouris and Montague spent some ten hours on the Rifle Range at Squaw Point on Sunday, May 29, 1049. Each Officer and man fired the .308 Rifle. Bren, 2-in Mortar and Plat.

There was strong competition in the firing of all weapons and some really good scores were registered with RSM Hillier, PG. leading. following closely were BQMS Coop- er, A.W.: Capt. A. M. Gallant and Major C. D. Ives.

The Commanding Officer of the Regh, Lt. Col. G. G. K. Peake. DS.O., E.D., in speaking to the Re- giment, expressed his satisfaction in the enthusiom shown by all ranks, and was quite confident that much benefit would be derived from the day's exercise. stating that it. would be repeated at a later date.

Speaking of Bummer Comp which will be held at Picion, On- tsrio the latter part of July, Col. Peaks impressed on all ranks the necessity of attending Parades re- gularly, thus ensuring that this year's Camp will meet the high standard that has always been as- sociated with the Prince Edward
