HIGH COST MACHINERY
HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
CANADA'S DEPRESSION

number of persons employed in man.
ufacturing as a whole would doubt
less have increased materially, in
stead of diminishing. But Canada's
imports of machinery are very large,
and were especially so during the de-
cade of 1911 to 1922 So, much of
the increased capital investment in
Canadian manufacturing industries
represents expenditures abroad for
machinery.
Difficult to Find Markets
No doubt the Canadian companies
obtained all this machinery abroad
cheaper than It could be manufact-
ured in Canada, in the present state
Of the country's technique. But the
Canadian manufacturers are now
confronted with the fact that while
by the introduction Of imported ma
chimes they have materially increased
the production of wealth, and in
creased even more their capacity for
wealth production, they have great
difficulty finding a market for their
products. Machines are not con-
sumers; their multiplication does not
enlarge the market.
Canadian manufacturing industries
in 1922 paid in salaries and wages
an amount more than 100 per cent
greater than their disbursement for
labor in 1911. That means, of course,
that the persons actually employed
obtained very material improve
ment in their standard Of living. But
these employees, being $1,000 fewer
in number, would hardly, despite their
increased earnings, enlarge the mar
ket for staple products to any great
extent, as compared with the market
they provided in 1911. Much of the
enlarged income would go to rents,
amusements, etc.
Industries Face Big Problem
Hence Canadian manufacturing in
dustries face a peculiar problem.
With a productive capacity, thanks
to improved machinery, probably
three times greater than before the
war, they are mostly working on
short time. They need a greatly in
creased population to consume their
products; but they are not able to Of
fer increased opportunities of a live.
lihood to any material increase in
population.
And this effect of the multiplica-
ton of machines is not peculiar to
manufacturing. The major industries
Of Canada-agricultural, mining,
manufacturing, fishing, logging, and
transportation were, only epntlbying
n, 1871 more persons in 1922 than they
were in 1911, according to govern
ment statistics. Yet the efficiency of
these industries, thanks to machinery,
was very much greater in 1922 than
in 1911, the volume Of the work done
by them showing an increase of about
so per cent, and the value of the
work an increase Of over 100 per
cent. Yet the increase in the num-
Der of persons engaged in these in
dustries was less than 2 per cent.
Unfortunately Canada's major in
dustries are not offering much more
employment today than they were in
1922, as the employment chart of the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics shows.

JUSTICE BUILDING
RECEIVER SOUGHT
Buyer Declares He Was Told
u. S. Was About to Vacate.
Says Trusts PYamided.

An injunction, an accounting and
a receiver for the Department of
Justice Building at Vermont avenue
and X streets, are asked in a suit
flied today in the District Supreme
Court by Felix Lake, real estate
operator, against the F. H. Smith Co.,
F. H. Smith Investment Co, Column
bia Building Corporation, Fairfax
Securities Co, G.. Bryan Pitts and
other officials of the corporations.
Lake charges that it was represented
to him by Pitts that the Government
was about to remove from the build
ing, which could be turned into pri-
vate offices and made to pay on an
investment of S1,420,000.
Lake tells the court through Attor-
ney r. l.. Merrick that in May. 1921,
he was about to sail for Europe and
executed a contract by which he au-
thorized the Smith Company, which
was engaged in collecting rentals
from other property owned by him. to
buy the building from the late Mrs.
Henrietta NJ. Halliday for s550,000. or
as near that sum as possible. He gave
notes totaling $4,000 to Pitts. he
says, to be paid out of his rentals
as a deposit on the purchase of the
property.
In his absence, he asserted, the
other defendants, or some of them,
through A pyramiding of trusts and
conveyances, had run the value of the
property up to s1,420.000, and when
he complained that he had not au-
thorized such expenditure, he was
told, he states, that he had set limit
of S1,500,000 in his order and that the
purchase had been made for $4,000
below that amount.
He denies he ever authorized such
amount, but declares he was persuad-
ed to carry out the purchase and
turn over s290,000 additional in Sc
curities to the Smith company in
ignorance of what he calls a secret
agreement among some of the defend
ants to injure him.
Lake asks that the defendants be
enjoined from selling or disposfng of
the securities given by him in con-
nection with the purchase of the prop
erty and for an accounting and re-
ceiver pending final action of the

WARREN IS IN LEAD

Confirmation of Court Ap-

While unexpected opposition appar-
emily is delaying action by a Senate
judiciary subcommittee on the nomi-
nation of Attorney General Stone to
be justice of the Supreme Court, there
were increasing indications today that
Charles B. Warren of Michigan would
be appointed Attorney General.
Mr.. Warren's name has figured per-

Endorsement of Gov. Groesbeck of

Couzens as their first and only choice

Warren in the highest regard and has
frequently conferred with him and
been his host in a more social way at
the White House. One of these con-
ferences was held yesterday, and later
the President saw Senator Couzens
and afterward Mr.. Stone-a series
of calls which were looked upon as
significant by those who feel that Mr..
Warren's aversion to returning to
public life is not an insuperable OBJ
stacle to his possible acceptance OF
a binet post.
Others Are Discussed.
Mr. Warren's desire to be a private
citizen for while after his service
in many high official Government
capacities has served. however, to
hold other possibilities for the ap-
pointment in the limelight of dis

Another feature, the Express
says, is that there probably will be
no tunnels, the products of the

pipes running alongside the stern.
The distribution Of the armor
also will be revolutionary. The
magazines, like the guns, being all
forward, the usual armor belt ex-
tending for three parts of the

and the weight saved on the sides
can be added to the deck protec-
