Ernest Waengler writes that “Whatever difficulties Canada may face in the fut- ure in selling our manufac- tured goods in Europe our primary minerals seem 4as- sured of a growing market” (my emphasis). He goes on to point out that the average iron content of German iron ore pits has. dropped to 33.6% compared to 56.8% for imported ores. Thus, as the headline of the article points out, “Ruhr steel Mills are Hungry for Canadian Ungava Ore’. It is estimated, he says, that “Steel capacity of the Euro- pean Coal and Steel Com- munity, according to present investment plans, will rise to 99 million metric tons by 1965 — investment in steel capacity in 1960 was 30% above the previous five year average and in 1961-62 an increase of 50% above the 1955-59 level is estimated. In his article Waengler further points out that in many cases freight rates ac- count for more than half the cost of landed ore. Thus Germany, faced with increasingly stiff competi- tion in the steel industry market, finds the low grade ores in her own _ country unsatisfactory to meet these conditions and is turning to countries such as (particu- ’ larly) Canada to feed her steel industry. The irony (no pun intend- ed) of the situation is that The province of Manitoba has one dentist for every 6,800 inhabitants, excluding the city of Winnipeg. Obituary Jack McKinnon, a staunch supporter of the labor press, died at Newton on July 10th at the age of 79. Prior to moving to the Fra- ser Valley he worked for 25 years as a motorman for the B.C. Electric and was a mem- ber of Division 101, S.R.U., in which organization he worked hard for progressive policies. He leaves to mourn his loss two sisters in Kincardine County, Ont., and a brother,’ Dan in Vancouver. To them we extend heartfelt sym- pathy. He will be sorely miss- ed by his many friends throughout B.C. BON VOYAGE PARTY for. JOHN CHITRENKY A.U.U.C. HALL 805, E. Pender SAT. JULY 28th Supper served 7 p-m. Dancing & Refreshments Admission - $1.50 Everyone Welcome Bill Bennett Club although transportation costs amount to more than half the cost of the ore landed in Germany they are still able to produce high grade steel competitively from Canadian ore for manufacture and export. This illustrates what ex- cellent position Canada is in, possessing as we do some of the richest deposits of iron pre in the world, to develop our own steel industry. POLISH TRADE On another page of the same issue is an article by David Scott entitled ‘Poles at Poznan Wanted To Buy But No Salesmen’’. He points out that Canada’s exports to Poland doubled to $33 mil- lion last year ‘in spite of the ‘can’t be bothered’ atti- tude of most Canadian man- ufacturers.” The articles then goes on to illustrate the lack of con- cern Canadian firms showed for the Poznan Trade Fair. With the exception of Atom- ic Energy of Canada the fair was manned entirely by Department of External Af- fairs and Trade and Com- merce departments. Polish officials, including Communist Party Secretary Wladyslaw Gemulka were highly interested in the Can- adian exhibits but there was no one there from the firms to push sales. U.S. company’s on _ the other hand were significantly present and many of them sold their entire exhibits on the spot as well as laying the basis for further sales. Scott explained that “Pol- and is more anxious than ever to boost its North Am- erican. business as a hedge against the discriminatory tariffs of the Common Mar- ket. In these two articles illustrated the utter Tape cious villany of the U Canadian financial cli which is pushing Canada the edge of ruin. Our entire country for sale.
