NE
of
the
most
important
factors
affecting
the
i)
future
trade
and
consequent
employment
in
('Canada
will
be
the
decisions
arrived
at
in
the
Geneva
conference
on
world
trade.
The
nation
which
will
hold
the
key
to
a
freer
trade
.policy
throughout
the
world
is
the
.United
States.
The
American
policy
is
announced
as
being
one
of
freeing
trade
by
tariff
reductions.
But
with
their
existing
high
tariffs,
even
a
50
per
cent
cut
will
do
but
little
to
stimulate
the
huge
flow
of
trade
required
to
put
the
world
on
its
feet,
to
the
end
that
consumption
can
be
increased
tre-,
mendously
in
every
country,
the
standards
of
living
raised;
the
costs
of
both
aims
being
met
by
increased
production
flowing
to
and
fro
between
nations.
Canada
now
needs
export
markets
for
industrial
products
as
well
as
for
her
lumber,
wheat,
fruit
"
and
fish.
Other
countries
too
need
export
markets
in"
order
they
may
import
goods
they
need
and
1
which
are
the
surplus
products
of
other
countries.
The
world
is
ripe
for
a
revival
of
the
doctrine
of
free
trade
advocated
in
the
middle
of
the
last
i
century
by
Cobden
and
Bright
with
.such
modifications
as
are
necessary
to
ensure
protection
against
unfair
labor
standards,
and
products
necessary
for
national
security.
STILL
HARD
PRESSED
was
a
serious
statement
made
by
an
eminent
(T
British
medical
man
yesterday
that
the
people
of
England
were
dying
of
malnutrition
and
that
continued
scarcity
of
food
had
already
seriously
affected
the
physique
of
the
people
of
the
tight
little
island.
After
all
the
arduosity
of
being
the
primary
target
of
violent
attack
in
a
long
war,
Britain
still
suffers
and,
unfortunately,
the
end.
is
not
clearly
in
sight
as
yet
Hard
days
are
still
ahead,
it
is
agreed
by
all.
To
any
people
less
tenacious
than
Britons
it
would
seem
almost
hopeless
,
but
the
great
spirit
is
still
there.
Possibly,
the
statement
of
the
British
medical
man
is
a
long
drawn
bow.
Britons
have
gone
this
far.
Doubtless,
they
will
see
it
through.
Today
as
always
therein
always
be
'an
England

V

"MARKET
TREND
CHANGES
Z
THOUGH
there
are
still
many
shortages,
the
long-
anticipated
rise
in
peacetime
production
is
now
rapidly
taking
place.
The
physical
task
of
re-
"
converting
war
plants
to
civilian
production
has
been
largely
completed
and
supplies
of
many
basic
materials
and
components,
both
domestically
produced
and
imported,
have
improved
Barring
further
major
industrial
disputes,
the
immediate
prospect
would
seem
to
be
for
a
continuation
of
the
upturn
in
production
which
had
become
apparent
by
the
end
of
,1946.
A
good
deal
of
the
industrial
expansion
resulting
from
the
war
has
been
retained
and
the
economy
as
a
whole
is
functioning
at
a
very
high
peacetime
level.
For
the
present
demand
appears
to
be
sufficient
to
sustain
the
generally
high
and
rising
level
of
production.
The
year
1947
may
mark
the
turn
from
the
seller's
to
a
buyer's
market
for
durable
poods
at
least,
brincring
competition
more
strongly
for
the
consumer's
dollar.

must
toe
nailed
to

The

floor
of

called
the

series,
has
been
hastily
assumed
to
be
a
certain

This
not,
however,
from
