$13.82 for the U.K. and $8.7 for the U.S.A., but the pattern looks very different if the comparison is limited to the develop - ing countries and Portugal, reducing the figures to $4.73, 25.74 and $3.86 respectively. The addition of Japan would put the Canadians back in the lead, but the fact remains that more than two-thirds of their imports come from the developed countries. The replies to the GATT questionnaire on measures for facilitating adjustments in the cotton textile sector show-e.g. in Table 11 of COT/W/115 that the Cafadian industry has suffered very little from import competition: the past six years, only the Australians and Norwegians have fared better, at least so far as employment is concerned, and all three have fared better than any of the other developed countries.

I apologise for having dealt with this matter at some length, but it is important that we should talk in the same language when it comes down to discussing what constitutes actual or threatened injury to a domestic industry. I still believe that our case on imports of, e.g. shirts and trousers, is no worse than most of those referred to in the Hong Kong list and I hope that if and when it comes to the crunch we shall be able to concentrate on the question of injury and not on the question whether we import more or less of our requirements than countries who are less dependent than we are on manufacturing industry.
