CANADIAN FACTORIES
IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRY. OTTAWA, Canada. “At present, one-quarter of the entire population of Canada depend for their living on the salaries and wages paid by Canadian factories.” declared F. C. Brown, prominent manufacturer of Vancouver, in his presidential address at the annual meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association here recently. He was emphasising the ever-growing importance of Canada as an industrial nation and stated that every great department of national activity was intimately associated with and affected by the conditions of industry. “Of all materials used by the manufacturing industries of Canada,” he said, “36 per cent are of Canadian farm origin and to this must be added the consumption of farm products by the industrial population and their dependents. . . . Similar co-operation with industry is evident in the cases of lumbering, fishing, mining, transportation, finance and trade.”
