European Money and Industry Seek Haven in North America
Joseph W LaBine analyzes how European turmoil shifts capital and people toward North America. He notes foreign investment in the U S rose from 7.036 to 7.883 billion dollars between 1937 and 1938, with 49 million in U S securities. Czech Bata planers consider Prescott Ontario to supply markets. Sudetenland settlers move to western Canada. Canada relaxes race limits for skilled refugees while currency deposits climb. Japan’s long influence in China persists, with western concessions shrinking yet U S influence in Shanghai, Amoy, and other ports maintaining order and threatening possible withdrawal. English prose reflects era concerns about global politics, finance, and empire.
