XVI.-THE INDUSTRY IN CANADA. 77. The rubber manufacturing industry in Canada takes the fifth place in the world. As we have shown in paragraph 18, Canada absorbed, in 1929, 35,500 tons of crude rubber, or 4.41 per cent. of the world supply. The Canadian industry has grown rapidly both for the home market and for export due largely to the increase of motor transport and the necessity for rubber footwear. In Canada more than one million motor vehicles are in use, and rubber footwear is used to a very great extent, particularly in the winter months. In 1928, 45 establishments were engaged in the ndustry. The capital invested in the industry was £14,500,000 of which the section engaged primarily in the manufacture of tyres accounted for £11,000,000 and the section chiefly making foot- wear for £3,000,000. Employees numbered 17,095 and salaries and wages amounted to £3.900.000. 78. The gross value of production in the Canadian rubber in- dustry in 1928 was £20,020,000, including £10,200,000 for tyres, £6,670,000 for footwear and £3,150,000 for other rubber manufac- tures. In each section these figures were an increase on the value of production in 1927. Certain details of the quantities of rubber goods manufactured in Canada in 1928 are also available. In the tyre section 4,338,578 outer covers and 4,638,429 inner tubes, in addition to 17,377 solid tyres for motor vehicles were manufactured. 186,623 outer covers and 207,747 inner tubes for bicycles and 36,467 outer covers and 22,894 inner tubes for motor-cycles were also produced. Manufactures of footwear totalled 23,941,164 pairs. Manufactures of rubber goods other than tyres or footwear included rubber clothing—64,952 coats and 16,333 pieces of head- wear as well as other miscellaneous rubber clothing valued at £118,000. Rubber and composition soles produced reached 3,634,885 pairs; half-soles, 499,163 pairs and heels 20,600,402 pairs. 2,660 tons of belting, valued at £624,000 and 2,280 tons of rubber hose worth £430,000 were also manufactured. Other products involving the manufacture of rubber made in Canada included, tyre repair materials, rubber mats and matting, tiling and flooring, sheet packing, battery jars, hospital sheeting, wringer rollers and fruit jar rings. Details of production compared with amports and exports are given in Appendix III, page 93. 79. Canada is on balance an exporting country as regards rubber goods. Only in rubber clothing and miscellaneous rubber articles do imports exceed exports and are high relatively to the local pro- Position of the industry. Production in 1928. Imports and exports.
