Sfends
on

Soun
Comparative
Figures
1928
and
1929
First
Ten
Months
A
perfunctory
glance,
at
the
export
figures
of
Canada
during
the
pat
year
.gives
the
impression
of
a
general
downward
trend.
Analysis
shows,
however,
that
the
reverse
is
true.
Due
to
conditions
which
no
one
can
control,
the
export
of
raw
material,
mainly
grain
and
grain
products,
shows
a
decrease
of
$70,700,000.
But,
on
the
other
hand,
exports
of
goods,
manufactured
or
partly
manufactured,
show
an
increase
of
$46,500,000,
which
is
at
the
rate
of
9.4.
The
trend
of
the
year's
activity
in
export
trade
is
dearly
in
the
direction
of
increased
exports
of
manufactured
or
partly
manufactured
goods,
while
the
export
of
raw
materials
has
declined
considerably.

business
now
provides
more
than
EXPORT
two
million
Canadians
with
their
livelihood.
So
vast
has
Canada's
foreign
trade
become,
that
nearly
a
quarter
of
our
population
depend
upon
ft
for
what
they
eat
and
what
they
wear;
for
their
homes,
their
savings,
their
comforts
and
their
luxuries.
Export
trade
exerts
its
beneficence
in
every
Canadian
community
and
on
every
Canadian
farm.
Roughly,
a
third
of
our
total
annual
productionto
a
value
of
$1,363,700,00053
shipped
to
other
lands.
Per
capita,
Canadians
are
the
second
largest
exporters
in
the
world.
ON
A
SOLID
FOUNDATION
Because
it
is
Profitable
Business,
Canadian
effort
year
by
year
is
more
actively
directed
towards
supplying
markets
abroad.
Our
export
trade
stands
on
a
solid
foundation.
Our
goods
are
in
demand.
Last
year
no
less
than
411
new
business
agencies
in
foreign
lands
were
opened
by
our
Trade
Commissioners
on
behalf
of
Canadian
manufacturers
and
producers.
Our
exports
have
become
highly
diversified.
More
than
600
distinct
classes
of
commodities
are
embraced,
and
the
list
is
ever
expanding.
EACH
YEAR
IT
GROWS
I
VOLUME
AND
IMPORTANCE
TO
EVERY
COMMUNITY
IN
THE
DOMINION
Our
goods
are
finding
their
way
wherever
trade
routes
lead.
IN
REMOTE
LANDS
Think
for
a
moment
of
this
diversification,
and
sec
how
our
people
are
blazing
the
trails
of
business
all
over
the
world.
Here
are
some
examples:
Fence
Wire
for
New
Zealand,
Automobiles
for
India,
Lanterns
for
East
Africa,
Builders'
Tools
for
Fiji,
Agricultural
Implements
for
Sweden,
Wallpaper
for
Chili,
Box
Shooks
for
Egypt,
Ice
Cream
for
China,
Milk
for
Honduras,
Leather
for
Hong
Kong,
Fish
for
-Dutch
East
'
Indies,
Rubber
Tires
for
Czecho-Slovakia,
Canvas
Shoes
for
the
Straits
Settlements,
Flour
for
Portuguese
East
Africa,
Machinery
for
Brazil;
Motor
Trucks
for
Mesopotamia,
Radio
for
Argentine.
The
ground
is
well
prepared
for
still
further
expansion.
Will
you
take
advantage?
Canada's
32
Trade
Commissioners
abroad
are
constantly
drumming
up
new
markets.
Wherever
a
Trade
Commissioner's
Office
has
been
opened,
without
exception
there
has
been
an
increase
in
trade.
The
demand
for
Canadian
goods
is
growing
in
every
country
where
we
are
represented.

HOW
CANADIANS
CAN
HELP
It
remains,
however,
for
Canadians
to
grasp
the
larger
opportunities
offering.
Producers
and
manufacturers
can
help
our
export
in
several
ways:
1.
Producing
the
kind
of
commodities
other
countries
want.
2.
Maintaining
production
so
as
to
assure
continuity
of
supply.
3.
Keeping
all
products
up
to
rigid
standards.
,
.4.
Becoming
familiar
with
business
methods
abroad.
V&-This
is
Canada's
business.
It
is
every
citizen's
business,
because
the
more
goods
Canada
sells
abroad,
the
more
certain
and
the
more
ample
will
be
her
continued
prosperity.
