For if you will rcmcmbor nftcr placing bciore tho itoturizlns the oxsct standing of our organization you look tho mutter up and appointed n committee to investigate conditions.

On this occasion I want you' to de- iiuitr-_ly undcr.~liund that I am not colli- lng to you with any idea of -looking for your support in any way. l nm only coming to give you'u short -talk on conditions as they appeal to me. You are under no obligation to nc- cept anything, and still you have the right to criticise to your heart’s con- tent.
We all know the new enthusiasm
that was aroused in our .industry this Near. You are conversant with the facts of what our industry is. You iftlow the r'ovenue.it is producing. You also know what the future of this in- dustry cun be made to as-sillile, ond the question that comes up to us all is can it be made profltnhlo to our- selves. For after nl-l we nre living in nu ago of not self-denial, -but en- lifeil' fill nge with the dcnial extracted leaving it self.

Sir Hon- ry Pellatt of Toronto is -reported to be interested in the financial end of' theplnn. lt it should go through and Canada were able to get the whole order at the price mentioned. this would give the flnnl ' touch toward making the shipbuilding industry in Canada permanent, it would also help to give a great deal ot' employ- ment and keep the country prosper- ous through the reconstruction peri- od. With steel plutes easier to obtain than at any time during the war, Canada should beable to get the trade.
