Would WteU tfâemcâfou Canada9s Record Output of Chemicals in 1948 Postwar production in Canada's chemi cal industry has been at a record peace time rate, and for the second year in suc cession a new output record has just been established. . Careful estimates based on available official data a n d other reliable sources indicate t h a t Canada's chemical output in 1948 reached a value of $507,300,000, as compared with $488,015,000 in the preceding year. Today Canada is selling chemical products in 105 countries. Reflecting the n e w construction in the chemical field, it is estimated that about 30 Mifferent industries had new buildings under construction in December 1948, to make a total value of nearly $125 million. Added to this, a score of plants in the chemical industry had expansion projects completed to the amount of about $60 million a t the year's end. N o t only has the character of Canada's chemical industry changed through greatly increased production of heavy chemicals, paint, rubber, soap, and pulp and paper, but many new diversified lines have been added, such a s plastics, synthetic rubber, a wide range of organic chemicals, pro duction of new synthetic fibers, penicillin, streptomycin, and other antibiotics, phos phates, nitrates, chemicals from flue gases such as liquefied sulfur dioxide, newer petroleum chemicals, alcohol, yeast, and vanillin from sulfite liquor, and hundreds of new pharmaceutical products. Concurrent with the development of diversity in production, largely directed toward supplying export markets, has been the growth in geographical distribu tion of plants. Only a few years ago Canada's chemical industry was centered in Ontario and Quebec; now chemical process plants exist in both the Atlantic and the Pacific coast provinces, and there are numerous establishments in the prairie provinces, notably in oil refining and sodium sulfate production, while the manufacture of Nitroprills in Calgary and the wide range of products from the vari-
