§ 108. Mr. Russellasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why Government restrictions on dollar imports into the West Indies since 1947 have operated to the disadvantage of Canada as corn-pared with the United States of America.
§ Mr. AmeryThe dollar restrictions imposed by West Indian Governments do not discriminate between Canada and the United States of America.
I am, however, aware that West Indian imports from the United States have shown, in recent years, a greater increase than those from Canada.
A major cause of this development has no doubt been the great increase in United States investment leading, in turn, to increased imports of United States machinery and other goods.
