PARTLY BRITISH
CANADIAN CAR INDUSTRY.
OTTAWA, Ist, November.
The "Montreal Gazette's" Ottawa correspondent telegraphs that strong feeling and some resentment have resulted from the Australian Industries Protection League's representations for an amendment of the tariff, by which goods containing 75 per cent, of British labour and material, instead of 25 per cent, as at present, should receive preference. This is considered a blow against the Canadian export of automobiles to Australia, which has grown phenomenally since it was extended by British preference. There were 4166 automobiles exported to Australia in 1921, and 11,613 for the first six months of the current year. N Canadian automobiles are the product of 700 branches of United States plants. . The tt correspondent declares that Canada will probably take active measures to maintain jts rights, pointing out that a large proportion of the British goods enjoying preference in Canada are largely produced in Continental countries and finished in Britain.
