London. May 14.--British manufac-
turers are being urged by American
factory promoters to transfer their
plants to Canada. The development
of Canadian industry SO that it is SAID
to overshadow that of the United
States is said to be the reason.
Thousands Of Americans, it is SAID,
are transferring themselves and their
business places across the border from
the United States.
IT is understood that the Canadian
government has sent representatives
to the United States to secure able
town promoters and urge them 10
boom Canadian trade centers. 1t is
said they are authorized to offer I'D
eral government subsidies.
Lord Strathcona, Canadian hlgn
commissioner in London, said last
night:
sUnprecedented numbers OF Yam
KEGS are crossing the border to cast
in their lot with us Canadians. we
welcome them most cordially, for they
bring the very qualities we need
brains, vigor and grit Many OF them
hail from the far west, where they
have already experienced severe con-
fiicts with nature. J.
Canada's undeveloped forests, farm
ing lands and mineral fields hold out
to these frontiersmen not only the
prospect of profit, but also OF life
that meets the requirements or tnelr
adventurous natures.
II am glad that some of these ener-
getic and ingenious Americans VINO
have done so much to stud the plains
of the United States with prosperous
cities are turning their attention TO
the development of Canada. Several
of them, understand, have come to
London to encourage the investment
of British capital in North America
We welcome their efforts and also ex'
tend a cordial invitation to moneyed
Americans to pre-empt the great IN
dustrial opportunities of Canada II
they can.
"Our country does not shudder at
the name of Morgan or at the Woro
'rrust.' We fear no combinations OF
CAPITAL. On the contrary, we welcome
enterprise and money whencesoeve1
they come.
eve are loyal Canadians and Brit
ishers. but we believe in competition
and do not shrink from the law OF the
survival of the dttest. Americas
onslaught on Atlantic shipping gives
us no sleepless nights. Here AGAR
we expect friendly rivalry to promote
