CANADA TO DRAW Effect of British Anti-Dump- ing Tariffs Analyzed by Bank Agency. By the Assoclated Pre: NEW YORK, November 28 —A greatly extended movement of American indus- try to Canada may be expected in the next few years as a result of the recent | tariff increases in England, says an analysis by Case R. Howard of the New York agency of the Canadian Bank of ‘Commerce. American corporations have estab- T'shed approximately 1,500 branch plants and affiliates in Canada to date, Mr. Howard has calculated. This rep- Tesents a growth of about 800 plants in 11 years. “The movement.” he said, “arose first | from the desire of American manufac- turers to serve the growing Csnadian public, but it received great impetus from the fact that Canadian goods en- joy preferential treatment from many countries within the commonwealth and favored nation agreements with other countries. America does not en- joy these benefits. Greater Stimulus Seen. “Now even greater stimulus has been exerted by England's so-called 50 per cent dumping tariff, which probably will be worked out to favor the nations of the gommonwealth. “It remains to be seen whether tariff | will be increased or lowered, but it! cems quif> gertain that England defi- | itely is embarked on a tariff policy. and thet her great import market will b preserved to some extent for her 1-mily nations. 3 “American manufacturers may avoid these tariff increases by manufacturing in Canada and using Canadian natural resources. Such development will greatly aid Canada, bringing in new capital, employing Canadian labor and edding to the self-sufficiency of the Dominion. Americn Investments Big. ‘American investments in Canada of all kinds totaled about $3,941,000.000 at the end of the year 1930, Portfolio; that is, security, investments were around $1,200,000,000, while corporate investments in manufacturing, mining, paper, public untility and other, to- talled $2,048,000,000. These figures are from the United States Department of Commerce. “British investments in Can:ida also sre large, and England has estzblishea many branch plants in Canada. Her investments have shown a tendency to Tise. Despite Canada’s spectacular growth, her great resources have scarcely been touched. She herself has embarked on a program of tarlff increases which offer preferential treatment to nations of the commonwealth. Other parts of the commonwealth have or probably will take similar action. BANKERS ORGANIZING REICH BOND HOLDERS U. S. Buyers of Dollar Obligations Totaling $1,250,000,000 Held Only Unprotected Group. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, November 28.—The ‘Times-'says -banking interests here are trying to the holders of the $1,250,000,000 of German dollar bonds as a measure of protection in the pres- ent German economic crisis. “Premier Laval's announcement that France would not permit Germany's private debts to take preference over Teparations,” the story says, “has given point and force to the plan to organize Tholders of dollar bonds. The movement here, it was emphasized today when some of the details became known, is wholly precautionary, there having been no defaults on the obligations of Ger- m>n debtors.” Sponsors of the movement were quoted as pointing out that investors in long-term dollar obligations of Ger- man municipalities, banks, utilities and industrial enterprises that were floated in the American market are the only important group of German creditors whose interests are not being cared for in a concerted program. The creditor governments for the ac- count of Germany's reparations debts were described as already co-operating, while the foreign bank creditors for the account of German short-term commercial indebtedness were organized last August when the “Stillhaltung” agreement was drafted. Negotlations toward a protective program_also have been carried on in Washington, the Times says, adding that the attitude of Washington toward the proposal is not known. | HEFLINAND BANKHEAD FRAUD CASE BRIEFS IN Senator Charges Predecessor Failed to Substantiate Poll Plot Charge.
