Canada May
Erase War Tax
On u. 5. Goods
More Tourist Trade
Also Bait in Deal
for Pooling Arms

OTTAWA, May 3-One Of the
chief concessions Canada has Of
fered the United States. in return
for an agreement 10 pool war pro-
ducuon. is removal of the 10 per
cent war exchange tax on non
empire imports, The Financial
Post disclosed today.
When Prime Minister King dis
cusScd his new deal with President
Roosevelt on his return 10 Ottawa
last week he dWelt largely on the
extensive benefits to be accorded
Canada. The only return benefit
specifically mentioned as being dis
CuSScd al Hyde Park was a pos
Slble tightening of the present ban
on pleasure travel by Canadians
in the United States. Now the
Post hears that the special war
import tax may also be lifted.
These two concessions by Can
ada would cost this country at
least 100 millions annually in
United States dollar exchange and
il is quite possible more than
twice that much. This would be
offset, of course, by a huge new
export of Canadian-made war
equipment to the United States
and by the forwarding to Canada
under ieaSe-lend any American
materials needed in Canadian pro-
duction of war equipment for
Britain. Up until now Canada has
to finance this import herself.

SIS to 100 Millions

Canada now collects on its spe-
cial war import tax 65 10 100 mil
lions year. This would be relin-
pushed.
Estimates of the amount of
tourist dollars which would have
been spent by Canadians in the
United States in 1910 had not re-
strictions been introduced in the
beginning of last summer, are
placed at 65 to Is millions.
With generally greater prosper
ity in Canada in 1871 the latter
figure could. it is believed, be cas-
lily realized. In the first six months
of 1910, before the Canadian ban
went into effect. Canadians spent
30 millions on travel in the u. S.
and. of course. the first half of the
year is the lightest from a holiday
travel standpoint.
As yet ii is not known how far
the prime minister has committed
Canada in removal of pleasure
travel restrictions. Removal of
these restrictions has been consist
emily opposed by Canada's Foreign
Exchange. Board. The opinion
freely expressed here is that, if
this ban is going TO be removed,
Canada should make much more
determined and effective effort to
stimulate u. S: travel in Canada.

Quickly OUertaken

II is felt that if thi, were done

which Canada might lose by let
ting down her barriers would very
quickly he overtaken. 1t is not
considered likely that Canada will
throw open pleasure travel COM
pletely. At most a modification
of the present plan is being con-

Pooling OF the war production
OF Canada and the United States
has long been considered by GER
tain officials of the Department of
Munitions and Supply. Careful
study of production costs and
schedules in the two countries con-
WINGED these officials that Canada
could without great difficulty pro-
duce materials for sale or use IN
the United States over and above
British production and at costs
which would compare very favor
able with those of the United
