CANADA TO LEAD .
WORLD IN FLAX
This Opinion Is Held by Ex-
pertS Who Know Situa-
ton Best.
special Despatch to The SIS.

OTTAWA April 2l.--That Canada will
be the leader in supplying the world
with flax is the opinion OF leading ex-
perts not only IN this country but in
other parts of the world where the sit
uation as regards fax production has
been studied. Already, with Russia and
Belgium out of the field, the Dominion
is supplying a large proportion OF the
worlds need for fax and many plans
have been laid to prevent It's present SUI
premacy in this line ever again being
wrested from this country.
1t is only recently that Canada has
awakened to the possibilities In this
field. and already many steps have been
taken to advance her interests. one OF
the most important discussions in the
Parliament during the past week was
that on the fax industry. Frank S
Glass the East Middlesex member, who
is said to be the flax expert of the Com
mons. has made a special study OF the
industry from every angle, and for many
years he has urged the Government to
encourage fax productisa.
During the discussion in the lower
house the opportunity which now lies
before canada TO become supreme in
this industry was pointed out by Glass
He told of the big development which
has been accomplished during the war.
At the outbreak Of hostilties, he said,
ehere we're in the Dominion only about
lar acres under fax. whereas last year
this amount had increased TO $4,000
acres with prospects for $4,000 acres
under cultivation this year.
One of the biggest factors in aiding
this tremendous development has been
the vast need for linen for airplane con-
struction, and the fibre produced in On
tario and Quebec is said to be unusu-
ALLY well suited TO this purpose. With
the broadening OF aerial activities the
world over the future for the industry
looks brighter and brighter and Canada
Is intending to do her utmost to main
tain the lead she has wrested from Rus
STA, which formerly produced four
fifths OF the world supply OF fax.
A spinning mill has been established
at Guelph. and Glass declared that cor
poration is prepared TO invest $4,000, 900
In the development of linen making in
Canada. A resolution offered by him
has been adopted urging the Govern
ment to establish a station for expert
mental work within the area where fax
fibre 10 now being produced

shares Sell at $40.

Royal Bank shares are selling In the
stock exchange at 2l0 but an attempt to
buy in the open market to the extent OF
few hundred shares, let alone a block
OF 10, 900, might result in an advance OF
ten points, judging by the action of some
of these stocks recently. At the same
time the price Of 5000 share offered
by the London bank is extremely favor
able. as the last issue of stock TO share
holders, made only a few months ago,
was at $50. As the Royal is paying
IL per cent. dividend, the London bank
will receive n return OF 6 per cent on
the money invested in the purchase. this
apart from indirect advantages accru-
ing from the new connection.
The imitation in Canadian currency due
to the increase in the unsecured issue
Of Dominion Government notes comes In
for discussion from time to time. Pos
sbly the Government, in its next fnan-
cling operation, will take steps 10 the re-
firing of at least part OF the excess note
issue OF the war period.
Roughly speaking, the amount OF Do
minion notes outstanding increased
1872 5000 between June. 1914, and
February. 191S-from Sl141S2,100 TO
S3o6, 405, 399-with the increase in gold
holdings about S24.000.00O.

demptlon on the demand OF the Govern
ment, OF tho balance, approximately

While there may be some hope that the
cost OF coal and rails and other supplies
may come down and the increased vol
ume OF traffic may compensate for such
increases as remain, 1t Is difficult, In
view of the political aspect of the situa-
ton. to believe that railroad wages will
lend themselves to reduction under the
natural laws OF economies as will the in
dustrial wage. A rate Increase equiva-
lent In result to the wage increase should
unquestionably be made forthwith"
Turning to investment conditions Mr.
Mitchell declared that a year of at least
moderate prosperity Is assured, and that
the people OF the United States are
only awaiting the opportunity to invest
their capital on this side OF the border.
On this subject Mr.. Mitchell said In
part

ing throughout the length and the
breadth of the land exists as l have
never before seen 1t. Wages are every

ever It shows it's head. Merchants are

Manufacturing establishments that were

places, but plans are developing for their
activity in lines of peace industry The
war has opened UP our natural resources
to a degree never before known In his
tory. and our power to produce In
quantity has increased aplce.
"Our financial conditions are excep-
tionaliy good. We have imitation OF
course, but withal an imitation that Is
less than that which exists in almost
any other part Of the world. Our Vic
tory Loan campaign, which opens to-
day throughout our country, gives
promise OF being a huge success. BY
and larse, the fundamental conditions
in the United States are sound. We
have, TO be sure. Many questions Tor
which we have yet to find the answer
and not the least Of these Is as 10
where we are to find n market for our
goods. The development from debtor
to u creditor nation has brought us
difficulties as well as it's responsibilities
and among those difficulties Is the sharp
advance in dollar exchange, which I'M
pedes the opening of foreign markets
for our exports.

Al,lo o.
Despite the efforts made by Canada
to curtail buying from the United States
during 1915 in the hope of reducing or
eliminating the premium on the Ameri-
can dollar in Canada, due TO Canada s
heavy purchases here and her inability
to Offset an unfavorable balance with the
United States with favorable balances
elsewhere, there was little change pro-
portionately. OF every 500 worth Of
goods imported by Canada during the
year about ISL worth came from the
United States, against $50 in 1917 and

portion of Canadian exports to the

Diversity a Necessity.

A difficulty in the way is the neces-
sity that basic industries shall be able
TO put forth diversified products. The
ability to concentrate on specialized
products, which permits of quantity pro-
duction at low cost in more industrially
advanced countries, Is denied to Canada
for the present, Her builders must be-
able, for example. to obtain at one and
the same plant structural steel boiler
plates. wire nails or any other steel prod
uct which they may require
In an undeveloped country, where
communities are widely separated and
where population is not congested. the
general manufacturing plant is as nee
essary as the general store. No other
kind will serve the community and no
other kind can support itself. A handi-
cap is, therefore, placed upon Canadian
manufactures by the very nature OF the
country and the sparseness OF its popu-
lation. To meet this condition, as to
meet many Others, there is foreign trade.
and a great deal OF attention is accord
ingly be!sg given It. Manufactures will
