O, - Al- though only a few weeks remain before the New Zealand House of Representatives adjourns for the lilTi tl tlVWHUII VCUISU1I( tlJ InrlirnHftn line hfnil rrlvmi Ku il-io government that It intends to have the Brctton Woods mone- .session. New Zealand is one of ilun tiadnno nut nf n 4U1 nr 44 representor! at isreLLon . nil ( i . the agreement. To retain the rights of an original member it must join the International Monetary Fund and International Bank by December 31 Prime Minister Peter Frascr has said Uiat nothing will be done .o ratify the agreement without consulting parliament, but when asked whether the matter would be brought for ward this season he has been non-committal. Undoubtedly one of the rea sons for the delay Is that the Labor government Is divided within itself on many points in the agreement. Lobbyists think that if the matter was brought forward it would be approved by parliament, but only with the support of some members of the opposition, which is also divided on the sutfject. Government 1 c a d c rs are thought by observers in Wellington to favor ratification. Finance Minister Walter Nash said recently that as Birtaln had accepted the agreement, New Zealand .could scarcely stay out. There Is, however, a body of Labor members, known commonly as left-wing, or money reformers, who oppose ratlflca-i tlon. Opposition Leader S. G. Holland has said that the Brctton Woods agreement could strangle country.

Publishers say the Increased demand came with the war and has ftbVslackencd since. A more mature outlook, the formation of the reading habit during the dreary war years and more spending money are among reasons they give for the present boom. They still have a backlog of ' unpublished m a n u s c r 1 pts which they are gradually releas ing as the exigencies of the publishing field permit. Chief difficulty Is scarcity of materials and labor. Though controls over paper are ended, most firms say they find it hard to obtain all they require now that the market Is open to all comers on an unratloned basis. Inability to obtain parts for warn-out machinery Is another factor. Labor shortage began with the loss of men for war service. Now they are taking advantage of rehabilitation schemes or entering new lines of work. Binders are also scarce and many book firms now have their manuscripts bound by an outside firm. . Publishers say one of the encouraging signs of the times is the great number of Canadian authors whose works are selling well aaglnst the stiff competition of highly-publicized American writers. Themes emphasizing various aspects of Canadian life In fiction and history are popular. Another hopeful omen is seen In Increasing Interest in translation of. French-Canadian novels Into English. Critics of Canadian literature have been drawing the attention of publishers and public to this little-developed field. Interest in political and econ omic subjeots, developed during ' the war, has not dwindled. Serv icemen had the use of camp library facilities, giving them an' appreciation of much good literature which they are apparently retaining, as is shown by the steady sale of reprints of the classics. Though a drop is reported in the sale of war books, almost all types of literature are in demand. Despite paper shortages and the increased call for educa tional texts due to war veterans returning to schools, publishers say they expect to be able to meet the need. In Ontario, texts generally have not been revised since the war though a royal commission is at present going Into the matter, while text revision in the western provinces has begun to bring educational books up to date. to the Great Northwest" PRICE FIVE CENTS FARM STRIKE TO CONTINUE EDMONTON 9 - Secret -ry R.
