Excerpt from Canada and Empire Free Trade: What the New Imperial Policy for Prosperity Means to Canada; A Manifesto Canada is already the fifth industrial nation in the world, and there is no reason why she should not take a higher place. Part of our aim, for example, is to secure for her a far greater share in the New Zealand motor market, which is at present dominated by America. But industrial expansion of any sort must be based, as the American export trade has been, on a constant and prosperous home market. It is this which Canada quite rightly desires to protect for her manufacturers, and nothing in our scheme will prevent her from doing so. But her home market depends on internal prosperity, and what will become of it if her farmers are crippled? This is where Great Britain is in a position to confer benefits in return for the benefits she asks. She is, in plain terms, the only considerable buyer of wheat in the world. Her annual import is roughly equivalent to Canada's exportable surplus. But Canada is not the only country that exports wheat. It comes from the Argentine, where it is grown under labour conditions far below any British standard, at a producing cost as low as from 60 to 65 cents a bushel, from Prussia, where export is liberally subsidised by the State to the tune of about 35 cents a bushel, and, in the form of flour, from France, where also export is subsidised. This last subsidy works out at the equivalent of 60 cents a bushel, roughly the same figure as the total Argentine producing cost.
