Short Bibliography 62-56 ON the 4th of June last The Right Hon. Sir George Foster. Minister of Trade and Commerce, inue<' the following clear cut and comprehensive call to those interested in thp development of Canada: A CALL TO ACTION. "For nearly two years a coios-il and far-rcuchii g wnr hns convulsed the activities and disturbed the avocatio.is of the world, hns destroyed an incalni- lal)le amount of pccumuiated wealth, killed and disabled millions of the world's best workers, abstracted millions more from beneficent productive work to provide munitions for the destruction of life and property, and i- Ived the warring nations in expenditures and debts which pass the pow. i.. man to comprehend, the burden of which must remain for long years t» j»ple and restrict the progress of mankind. "Though n .lo can foresee the end of this war, yet the end must be drawing appreciably nearer and peace must eventutally come. Until that time comes production will be largely abnormal, and every possil>lc energy must be directed to the great purpose of prepiring sold.'rs, providing munitions of war and supplies for its maintenance The normal work of industry and pro- ductive power must, for the time, give precedence to war work. "But the date draws continually nearer when this abnormal activity will cease, and the world, and Canada along with it, will move back towards normal. This transition period will, I believe, prove more grave and critical than that which marked the plunge from peace to war in 19i4. "In the belligerent world fully 20,000,00c iult men will lay down arms and flood back into the fields and factort-s, the ies, towns, and countrysides; whilst millions more will lay down the lo< Is now being used in making war munitions and take up again the tooi- of peaceful pursuits, and still other millions, now engaged in the . , st subsiu ..} services of the war, will be thrown out of employment and hav ' . look for work in other lines. "The change is obvious on a moment's reflection; but it needs the deepest and most serious thought to adequately sense the tremendous meaning of that change. "In Canada we shall have our problems to soive, and it will tax the wisdom and energy of us all to bring about a successful solution. "Therefore it becomes necessary for business men and men of knowledge and experience to begin an earnest study of the situation that must soon be faced. "As one means to this end, the Department of Trade and Commerce has thought it wise to convene in the coming autumn a convention of the business 5 6 Tnd" knowledge ^ifoTvf ^K^f ''' °"* °' ^'^^'^ P'"'*^*'^^' ^^^^ ^^^^ed ^''Perience the engineering aasoeiation,, the' labou, Sl ^ Iw ""* Sh"g"l r'""' better prepared to answer certain tnndamenlal qnestions which must be^L^ and answered betor' our productive and distrihntrv.-„„„.i.ii-»- u " mobilized and energized'for the greTt'^fklhtlX^^^^^^^ war :f'l^str ^^^^^^^^^^^ f--^ve and wasteful which forces will assume totally nerKments t^P^ ?l" "°"*''* "^ keener aad stronger than ever, and llntS Ut^ar^^^^^ '' leading part in any successful role.

Then governments will largely recede a» feeders and providers. Each manufacturer will have to seek business for himself —put back the old peace machinery or adapt the new war machinery to peace production, and betake himself to the old peace methods of hunting up business- but then, let it be remembered, in an atmosphere hot with the keenest compe- tition. Are we thinking out now what we will do then and how we will do it? "The object of this appeal is to challenge attention, to evoke thought and devise means to bring about industrial and commercial preparedness. "The question which it seems to me each should face is this- "What will be the situation as regards our industry in Canada when the war ends, and how can we best meet it?' "Will our steel industry, our textile industry, and all our great industries our transport corporations, our banking people, our agricultural and lumber and fishmgand mimng interests, our engineering, chemical and scientific research associations-in a word, all our lines of production, natural and industrial, our labour associations, and our great educational institutions take up and canvas and work out their ideas along the line of this question? "And to do this effectively will each one of these interests in this time of great national need take the trouble to get together a select number of their best and brightest representatives, who will make it their business to conduct a thorough examination and be ready to counsel and advise their Canadian co-workers? "And then, will they be prepared, after such examination and thought to meet in the proposed convention ripe in well-based conclusions, fertile in well considered plans, and ready for co-operation each with every other in one united intelligent, systematized national effort to increase production and capture our share of home and foreign markets? "If, for the next two or three months, spade work like this were carried on the succeeding convention should be made an epoch in the economic and indua^ trial development of Canada. "This is the nation's own work, a reconstructive work greater even than the work of war. Shall we take it up in dead earnest and prove ourselves equal GEORGE E. FOSTER, Minister of Trade and Commerce. FOREWORD It would be entirely futile for those interested in Canada'a progress to meet in convention without in the meantime undertaking a serious study as to Canadian resources, the extent to which they have been used in the past, and the possibilities for greater development in the future— all essential to the bringing of the tax load of the people quickly down to normal again. Canadian business men appreciating their responsibilities in connection with the solving of their country's problems, must know that team play is absolutely essential and therefore it is their duty to get together and do some very heavy thinking between this and the date of the convention, which, it is presumed, will be some time in the latter part of October. Team play is impossible without some skeleton plan of procedure, and the present memorandum has been prepared in order to give a lead in the matter of organizing forces, so that the country may obtain the fullest benefit of the knowledge and ripe experience of those engaged in the country's commerce and industry. This memorandum has been hurriedly prepared It is not claimed that it outlines the best method of procedure; it is merely advanced with the hope that it will be helpful to those wishing to seriously study trade and other conditions in Canada. SCOPE AND CLASSIFICATION OF WORK. The memorandum herewith submitted alternately assumes two standpoints from which the problems before the business interests of the country may be studied: viz. — (a) The standpoint of the various factors that enter into the upbuilding of Trade, such as Market opportunities at Home and Abroad, Credit information and Banking facilities, Commercial training. Transportation facilities, Labour, Immigration, Industrial equipment. Industrial research, and the study of Raw Materials. (b) The standpoint of the various classes of goods into which the pro- duction of the country falls. In the following pages it is suggested that a number of Committees be assigned to certain definite problems developing from each of these viewpoints and that group "b" be confronted with a series of questions along lines analogous to those herein indicated. In addition it is suggested that as a matter of convenience, first in handling the secretarial side of the work, and later in keeping the convention from being swamped by irrevelant suggestions and discussion, a Committee on Recommendations be appointed, and that to this Committee all other Committees doing "field work" hand in their memoranda prior to the Convention. 10 GROUP "a."

United States of America. 13 S To convey these twelve challenges, to the business interests convened in October, the suggestion is advanced to search out and assign to an authority or sub-committee for each country the task of preparing for pi -Nation in printed form as attractive a "prospectus" of respective market opportunities as possible, covering: (1) Outstanding demands, complimentary to Canadian products. (2) Present banking, credit and collection facilities. (3) What competing countries are doing and planning. To accompany the above ask each to prepare a chart of present annual imports by countries and articles. These, or similar sub-committees, might prepare in respect of each country also, a memorandum of recommendations or suggestions for submission to the General Committee (Number 2) on Foreign Markets and their development, such a memorandum to outline: (1) Present facilities offered the Canadian importer as compared with facilities available for importers of other countries. (2) Present methods of operation of Canadian importers, as compared with others. (3) Present returns, with comparisons. (4) Suggested plan of re-organization and development regarding: — (0) Credit terms, terms of sale, discount markets. (6) Banking facilities, ca^h terms versus letters of credit, exteu sion of open accounts, collections, rating reports. (c) Terminal and transportation facilities — methods of shipment, i. Formalities. ii. Steamship service, iii. Forwarders and their operations, iv. Handling shipments in bond — bills of lading — consular invoices. (d) Combinations of manufacturers — when and how effective. (e) Adaptation of Canadian products to foreign demands. (/) Development methods.

COMMITTEE TO DRAFT PLANS TOWARDS PROVIDING SPECIAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING TOR PROSPECTIVE COMMERCIAL REPRESENTATIVES OF CANADIAN FIRMS IN FRIENDLY EX- PORT MARKETS. A formal announcement has been made by the National City Bank, of New York, of a plan for developing college students for positions in foreign countries, as representatives of the bank. It is proposed to begin with about one hundred undergraduates of American colleges, who will spend their sopho- more and junior vacations in various departments of the bank, returning at the middle or close of their senior year to complete a year's training. Those who qualify for positions will be sent abroad. Arrangements have been made between the l)ank and Harvard Yale Princeton, New York University, Columbia, Cornell, and the University of P(>nnsylvania. Representatives of these eastern institutions and W. S. Kies, vice-president of the bank, are negotiating with representatives of Chicago University, Northwestern University, and the Universities of Wisconsin. Michi- gan, Minnesota, and lUinois, for an extension of the plan. The following is a parap-aph from the New York Times commenting on the movement:—" The development of American foreign commerce and its advance- ment after the war in the face of the keen competition which may l)e expected demands that American business interests in the foreign field must be conducted by Americans. Years ago the English and Germans recognized the principle that a lasting foreign trade was dependent upon the exportation of their com- mercial products and capital. Most of ail, the development of American foreign commerce depends upon the character and training of the men who are to carry on the work. England early realized this, and in the establishment of her foreign branch banks that were the foioninners of her commercial advance especially in South America, she instituted a system of schooling for her junior clerks and taught them to look forward to going into the foreign service in the interests of her commerce. Germany trains her young men early for the commercial service, and an elaborate system of schooling, beginning with the lower grades and continuing through the higher education of Universities, was worked out to fit her young men for her growing trades. Their courses of dtudy are shaped to that end. After this training period they are sent to the countries of their activities to grow up with their future customers and to enter mto the life of the country." 10 V. COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION.

For the decade ending with 1880 when the population of the United States was 50,155,783, the immigration t, the United States averaged only 28,139 more annually than the Canadiai average for the ten years ending with 1914. These figures have great signifi cance in considering the probable growth of Canada during the twentieth century. The development of the United States in the nineteenth centur was regarded as more marvellous than that of any other country in the worid'' history but the percentage of the growth of Canada since the beginning of the twentieth century has been far greater than that of the United States in any period of equal length during the last century."

COMMITTEE ON INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT, PLANTS AND PROCESSES. (Looking to the elimination of wasteful effort, the suhxtitution of more profitable methods ofproiiurtion, and the encouragement of meritorious enterprise along saentific linea.) ^ The suRgcstion has boen hrought forward of enlisting the services of the engineers and chemists of the country in developing a number of general leads for the manufacturers, along -cientific lines. It should be possible to g.-t in touch withthe engineers and chemists as a class through the secretaries of their various associations, inviting them to state to what extent they would l)e able to associate themselves with such co.nnnttoo work as might Iks designated, or on their own initiative work out and submit those lines of endeavour which aj)|)oar to them to be esHcntial to a broad yet detailed programme of development. A group of practical scientific men of this class would have -the results of the surveys of raw materials, mentioned hereafter, before them, on the one hand, and an analysis of the increasing variety of finished or semi-manufactured products called for in the markets of th. world, on the other; and given sufficient scope m authority and facilities might well be expected to bridge over strand by strand, process by process, and enterprise by enterprise, what is now but a yawning chasm of neglected opportunity. 5062— 2J ao IX COMMITTEE ON DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH.

Group "b." An Outside Group of Committees is suggested, representing respective! the various classes of goods into which the products of the country fall, as, fc example. Agricultural generally, or grains specially, Forest products, Iron an bteel. Cereal foods, etc. Committee on Agriculture. Agriculture is, of course, our basic industry and as such demands prim attention. It is suggested that this phase of the work might best be dealt with b' calling on the principal officials of the Federal and Provincial Departments o Agriculture to assume, as a General Committee on Agriculture, the re nsibilit' of inaugurating and carrying through all necessary activity in conr .on witJ this part of the Convention's programme.

"The present time presents unprecedented opportunity for a policy of getting together. It is an era requiring economic -standardization. It is a time for common counsel to prevail and the subordination of personal or local prejudices It is an epoch ripe for patriotic industrialism. pjejuuices. _ "Manufacturers cannot delegate their responsibility and duty of a deeper mterpretation of conditions. Indeed, the American manufacturer is more and more called upon and should be called upon to play a public part instead of merely a private part in Governmental affairs and public questions. We have the right to speak and to be heard. But we should not speak nor ask to be heard unless what we say is constructive, truthful, and valuable. If jur friends the so-called industrial experts, sociological investigators, and students of poUtical and social science are studying the meaning of the forces of industry and seekine remedial measures, and we are doing nothing along such lines, we have nS right to criticize, conclusicts they arrive at, unless we are able to demonstrate IhlfV^^IlT* r °*^f ^o''ds..I may say that now-a-days a manufacturer, whether he realizes it or not, is compelled r,. be an economist, student, and statesman.
