Canada's current $300 billion-plus federal deficit "mortgages the fu- ture - if not yours, then that of your kids," he told a lecture theatre jammed with close to 300 business students, for his talk sponsored by the student-run WLU Marketing As- sociation. "Do you know who uses more silicon chips than anybody? General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, in that order. Today, you’ll find from one to seven computers in every car. if all the cars come in by boat, they'll not only bring the steel, the glass; and the tires with them, they'll bring the chips with them, too. "Right now, Canada's principal exports to Japan are wood, wheat _and coal. Now look at what we import from them - ears, trucks, motorcycles, calculators and watches. The pattern between the U.S. and Japan is the same. "Go ask the people in Sudbury, or Hamilton, or Sault Ste. Marie what happens to the drive-in hamburger business when the mills shut down." he said. M.J. (Moe) (floss, president of Chrysler Canada Ltd, warned mar- keting students at Wilfrid Laurier University last week that Canada is losing its industrial base, becoming a trading colony and sliding into a sea of red ink. "Neither Canada nor the United States can cut it as a nation on high-tech and services alone _ on sacks full of silicon chips and miles of fast food outlets," he said. “If Smokestack America, as it's called, goes down the tube. the centre of the economy disappears." Need more than silicon chips Other Executives are Hugh Koebei (Mutual Lite), Vice-President; Bill Jessop (Dominion Life), Secretary-Treasurer; and committee members Dave Embury (Prudential) and Patti Scherer (Dominion Life).

Does that sound familiar? Hell..that used to be the definition of a colony." Closs also said the North Ameri- can car industry is now on the rebound from its bad years which saw Chrysler come near collapse. He called the Chrysler turnaround one of the most remarkable success stories in business history, as it came back from the ropes to pay off its US federal loans seven years ahead of schedule, generating $311 million profit for the taxpayer. The company didn't have to use “its Canadian loan assurances at all. A major reason for the success? The company's totally new lines of fast-selling front-wheel drive vehi- cles, including the totally new Ma- gicWagon built in Winds0r's state- of-the-industry factory, "Even though we've built better than a quarter million of them, we still can't turn them out fast enough." Closs said the company dazzled the financial world when it reported an all-time record $701 million earnings for l983, matched by re- cord $118 millions earnings for Chrysler Canada. Since then it has set more records _ first-quarter earnings of $706 million for the U.S. company - more than Chrysler had ever earned even in a full-year in its history. The turnaround saved 600,000 jobs in the US. and another 40,000 in Canada. "Not bad for a broken-down little car company in Detroit and Windsor a lot of people had written off a couple of years ago." he said.
