Canada wants more Ameri-

would like to double the $40O
million annual amount of sub
contracts the State and De-
Tense Departments forced de-
Tense firms to give our north

This was apparent when
Canadian officials met recently
with State Secretary Rusk and
Treasury Secretary Dillon to
discuss Canada's desire for
more automotive and defense
business. The political necessity
for this was stated to be Prime
Minister Pearson's shaky con-
troll of Parliament.
Canada's spokesman ask e d
for this Nations cooperation

United States automobiles and
parts by approximately one
half and at the same time sell
parts to American auto manu.
facturers. More United States
defense contracts would pave
the way by providing equip
ment, technical know-how and
funds.
Automotive executives an d
AFL-CIO union leaders are
greatly concerned. They point
out that Canadian car prices
are now much higher than
American and that this plan
would only raise them, reduce
sales and cause more unem-
ployment In both countries
Canada now produces only
one sixteenth of United States
car production.
Defense industry spokesman
state that the quality and de-
livery schedules Of many Cana

been far from satisfactory.
The Tariff Act was amended
in November, 1861, to eliminate
duty on all military supplies
purchased from Canada. The
Buy-American Act was amend

Canada continues to sell re-

has asked American firms not
to do. The funds for this lucra-

can be assured of increased
business.
Canada's annual trade deficit
of $500 million with the United

rapidly. Much Of this is covered
by purchase Of Canadian secu-
