copper from eastern Canada and elsewhere in the Empire, has un- til now been unable to pay the price sufficient to make Bri- Columbia copper mining profitable, · British Columbia mines sold to Japan on a long- term contract and were paid in United States funds. Thus they benefited by the acquisition of valuable foreign exchange and by the maintenance of a pay roll distributed among several thou- sand families. Furthermore it was believed that with the Japa- nese market eliminated the British Columbia low-grade copper mines would be unable to find a profit- able customer anywhere else. It is unlikely that they could find a United States market owing to the high tariff on American Im- ports.

Farallel Action Needed

arc

Another argument was that it would be useless for Canada to ban shipments of copper to Japan If the United States continues, to sell there. If the United States effected a similar embargo the situation would be different, al- though Japan might still be able to get copper from America..

Shipments of

scrap' Iron virtually prohibited now, and the same applies to nickel, although come lead and zinc goes through. In view of Tokyo's present in- creased anti-British attitude it would not surprise anyone, even the copper producers, if Canada were to clamp down tightly on continued shipments of all metals to Japan,

| A similar ban might also be applied to raw,log shipments from British Columbia to Japan,, This has been, the source of annoyance to those who would like to see Canada retain the profits of lum- ber and pulp manufacture rather than let the raw materials go across the Pacific for the benefit of Oriental mill operators. How- ever, under the present setup, nothing can be done to restrict these shipments as the logs come from crown grant timber. Only Ottawa could apply needed pres- sure there; the provincial authori- ties are helpless.
