Capital Flows in Canada Reach New Highs

Official figures show very large capital inflows into Canada for factory, mine, and wells investment. U.S. branch plants in Canada total about 2544 million dollars at year end, a postwar rise of ~250 million. Unofficial estimates suggest an additional 125 to 150 million in 1944, bringing total U.S. branch plant investment near 2.7 billion by January 1, 194? Findings indicate continued growth in American investment in Canada.
