The Netherlands government

According to the Presidential

sponsible act. after the experiences
Of Dutch ships in America and Brit
ish ports, to permit other ships to
sail to these ports without guaran-
tees that these experiences shall not

The American government has al
ready appealed to right and justice,
has always come forward as, the
champion of small nations. That it
now co-operates in an act diamerit-

CANADA TO REDUCE
IMPORTS FROMU. s.

ottawa, Ont, March 3l-Canada
proposes to reduce imports from the
United States by $4,000 900 a year,
1t was learned tonight. This drastic
action is planned to correct the ex-
change rate which the adverse trade
balance against Canada has raised
to the almost prohibitive point of two
per cent for New York funds.
Following a visit to WASHINGTON a
short time ago by Premier Borden
and Acting Finance Minister Mac
Lean, the Canadian government de-
clded tnat the adverse balance Of
trade must be reduced by embargo
against the importation of manufac-
tured articles that can be fabricated
in Canada.
The government has given notice
of legislation authorizing such EN-
barge ard the Canadian war trade
board Is working out the details
Among the articles the admission of
which to Canada it is proposed to for
bid are automobiles. tires. patent
medicines, all musical instruments,
jeWelry, silver-plated ware, furniture,
footwear, clothing and Injuries of cy-
cry description.
For the manufacture of these arti-
cles exclusively in Canada for the re-
quirements Of the Canadian market
large quantities Of parts and raw rna
terials will have to be imported from
the United States. but it is estimat-
ed that in the case Of automobiles,
BY having the manufacturing done IN
Canada two cars can be produced for
the same amount of Canadian money
in the United States as now required
to buy one.
