4 THE GEORGIAN’S NEWS BRIEFS NEWS OF THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913 SAYS TARIFF CONDITIONS DRIVE PLANTS TO CANADA BOSTON, July 17.—Governor Foss of Massachusetts, who recently an- | nounced that a corporation in which he was interested would be moved to Canada because of the Government’s policy on reciprocity, has made pub lic a second statement, giving a list of corporations that moved across the border because of tariff condi tions. In part he says: "The movement is going on quietly Among the big corporations which have built plants in Canada are the General Electric Company, the West lnghouse Company, the Oliver Chilled Plow Company, the International Harvester Company, the American Locomotive Company, the American Blower Company, the Buffalo Forge Company and the Plymouth Cordage Company. "To complete the list would be im possible, for in many instances the establishments of these factories is not announced and not made a mat ter of official record. I find that up to January 1, 1913, approximately 17P American companies had established themselves. "The American Blower Company, the principal comr>etitor of the B. F. Sturtevant Company, built a great plant at Windsor, Ont., two years ago. Secretary of Commerce Redfield. until his appointment to the Cabinet, was vice president of the American Blower Company. "The recorded amounts of capital invested in the American factories across the border is $279,000,000. “In it \ny instances the plants which our manufacturers are estab lishing in Canada are directly owned and financed by the parent concern in this country, and in some instances even the pay roll is met by weekly shipments of funds from the American parent concern to its branches in Can ada. "I believe it conservative to say that $500,000,000 has been i»oured into Canada for tho upbuilding of plants owned in the United States. The development of Canada in the next 25 years will be greater than that of the United States. "The trouble with Republicans is that they are too selfish. The Demo crats are going to the other extreme. The Democrats are giving away our markets and getting nothing in re turn. "I have received many letters from business men commending me for my frankness, and I believe that my ex ample in going to Canada will be fol lowed by many others unless the pol iticians get busy before it is too late.” LAKE VESSELS LOST.

TO REMOVE WILSON FROM POST IN MEXICO WASHINGTON, July 17.—That Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, now on his way from Mexico City to Washington, never will return t<* Mexico as the representative of the United States, was stated authorita tively at the White House to-day.

Sherman also was angry at the newspaper fight against Speaker Cannon’s candidacy for the presidential nomination. At that time Representative James Watson, of Indiana, according to a letter written by Mulhall, "had a great notion to take the floor before Con gress adjourned and expose the whole 1 dirty piece of trickery from start to finish,” referring to a statement that the White House, meaning President Roosevelt, was responsible for the newspaper campaign against Cannon. “Watson states that the President is moving heaven and earth to nominate Taft,” wrote Mulhall: "that he is will ing to sacrifice the Sherman law and every other law to please the trusts and to please Wall Street, so that he can get their support for his candi date at Chicago.” Colonel Mulhall testified that he had paid money to Henry Neal, Speaker Clark’s negro messenger, for "small favors, such as getting people in and out of the Speaker’s office.” "I learned,” wrote Mulhall, "while at Senator Foraker’s home, that the opposition to the President (Roose velt) intends to let no legislation through which he wishes at this ses sion of Congress, and intends to fight the Taft forces to a finish. “I met Mr, Beveridge and called his attention to promises he made to Mr. Parry and others in India in regard to the class legislation.
