Bulletin Of Manufacturers Association Shows Exports
There Triple England S Unwillngness to Extend
Credit When Needed Must Be Overcome

In an important bulletin issued yes
terday. the National Association OF
Manufacturers, of so Church Street,
New York, discusses trade conditions
in Canada. and asserts that Ameri-
can made goods In many lines al
most monopolize Canadian markets
as far as imports are Concerned. The
statement Is made that the total i'm
ports from the United States into
Canada in the last fiscal year were
more than three time, greater than
the total imports from the United
Kingdom.
"As Canada does not permit trad
ing with the enemy" says the bull
lett. nor the importation of enemy
goods, there is a possibility that the
United States might increase it's trade
with Canada through the calls made
upon US to supply her with articles
to take the place of those heretofore
obtained from Germany and Austria
Belgium is also crippled as an ex-
porting nation. and much of the
French industrial territory has been
a battle-ground for months. There Is.
therefore, the possibility Of call be-
ing made upon us. for the supply of
an additional quantity of goods to
the extent of s36,o00,000, provided
Canada can maintain her former pur-
chasing power, which II is by no
means certain she can do.
"Of Course, we can continue to
compete with British goods in Can
ada. as elsewhere. The United King

or $lS0,000.000 less than it import

by the war in Europe the financial
condition of Canada, according to the
bulletin, is remarkably good in the
circumstances. In this connection
/ the bulletin says:
