Book Description
Excerpt from Imperial Preferential Trade: From a Canadian Point of View Mr. Chamberlain, with his unique capacity for burying himself in one idea at a time, has been chiefly instrument al in preaching the decline of British power and capacity. Nothing more strikingly demonstrates his well-known demagogic influence than his remarkable feat in bring ing so many British people from a condition of prosperous contentment to the very brink of ruin, within a twelve month. The very Empire itself is for him but as clay in the hands of the potter; for has he not assured us time and again, that by 'means of the Boer War he brought it to a condition of unparalleled unity and solidarity; and has he not, within a very short period, reduced it to such a parlous condition that nothing can save us from destruo tion but committing our destinies to his charge, by giving him a blank mandate to work out our salvation N ow we in Canada cannot dictate to the British people what com mercial policy they must adopt, for we in the past chose for ourselves, and insisted upon following the example of the United States, not that of Britain. We can have noth ing to say, therefore, even should the British people under the influence of Mr. Balfour, Mr. Chamberlain, and their assistants, become convinced that their day of greatness and independence has suddenly passed, and that hence forth instead of following a policy of their own and lead ing the commercial world, as they have done so long, they must go back several centuries and learn once more to imitate the example and'copy the policy of other Europ ean nations. But, in the face of such possible changes, it behooves us in Canada to know where we stand, so that we shall not be blindly committed to a line of policy which may be inconsistent with our national interests and dignity, or threaten the maintenance of those higher relationships within the Empire, which must be inde pendent of fiscal changes in any part of it.

Book Description
This paper uses a new dataset on the universe of Canadian imports and tariffs between 1924 and 1936, disaggregated into 1697 goods originating in 112 countries, to analyze the impact on Canadian imports of interwar Canadian trade policy, including the 1932 Ottawa trade agreements. Rather than use a dummy variable approach, we compute the impact of individual tariffs which varied substantially across goods, trade partners, and time. We develop a novel method of controlling for multilateral resistances in the context of a one-country dataset, and perform a variety of counterfactual exercises to determine the impact of tariffs on trade flows. The overall impact of post-1929 tariff shifts, including the 1932 agreements, was relatively small, reflecting the fact that Canadian trade policy was already highly protectionist: trade agreements can have heterogenous effects on participants because the shocks involved are different. Compared with a free trade counterfactual, the impact of the overall structure of protection on the level and composition of trade was large.
