Canning Factories Will Employ More Canadian Help.

Industrial conditions in Canada at this time will result in the employment of many more Canadians than usual in the canning factories of the Dominion. … In view of the unemployment in some industries at this time the factories will be able to secure in Canada most if not all the help they require this season. Thus many Canadians who would otherwise be out of employment will have the work in the canning factories that in previous years was given to parties who were resident in Canada only during the canning season. The policy of the leading canning companies has been to employ local help as far as possible.

Another condition that will tend to increase the number of Canadians employed in the canning industry in this country is the curtailment of imports of canned vegetables from France and Belgium. The exports of canned vegetables from these countries into Canada during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1914, amounted to $164,151 and $122,463 respectively – a total of almost $300,000. The curtailment of these imports will increase the demand for the products of Canadian canning factories.

Good Times Ahead

The sudden breaking out of war caused many to “run to cover.” Like the chicken on whom the rose leaf fell, some of us became a prey to fear and were ready to declare “the sky in falling.”

Now our vision is clearing, our alarm has fled, we have recovered our poise and courage. We are seeing, also our opportunity. Swiftly and almost overwhelmingly has come to us the perception of the fact that the competition of Continental Europe has been taken away. We are faced with a condition and an opportunity both tending to our advantage as a country of industry, agriculture and trade. Good times are ahead, if Canada and Canadians see and seize the present opportunity for enlarging their industries and trading.

We Must be Careful. We Must Have Courage
