In view of Canada's dependence on foreign trade for her welfare, it is interesting to note the progress we are making as a nation. Total domestic exports in April 1938 were less than 51 million dollars; in April 1947 they had increased to 191 million and in April 1948 to 212 million dollars. For the first four months of this year they were 884 million compared with 788 million for the first four months of last year and only 254 million for the first months of 1938 the year before the war. Agricultural products played an impressive part in this increase. They amounted to 273 million dollars in the first four months of this year, 253 million in the corresponding period of 1947. This was an increase from 68 million in the same period of 1938. Export of fish and fishery products was 30 millions from January to April this year, 26 million January to April last year compared with less than 8 million in the same period of 1338. L.P.P. AND C.C.F. THERE HAS BEEN a great deal of discussion and speculation on the significance of the socialist wins in three by-elections. One question debated at length is "To what extent did communist support contribute to C.C.F. successes?" The L.IP. is claiming that its support greatly helped to elect C.C.F.ers. In Oshawa, the principal city of Ontario riding, the national secretary of the communist or Labor Progressive Party made a personal appearance in support of the C. C. F. candidate. The C. C. F. candidate did not even pretend to repudiate his support and there was every appearance of full cooperation between the Communists and the C.C.F. party. It is noted that the principal C.C.F. gains in the Ontario provincial election were made in Toronto which is the headquarters o'f the Communist party. , TRUMAN UNBENDS PRESIDENT TRUMAN has been out west, mending his political fences. He is back in Washing-; ton, and even those not his supporters are inclin-ed to agree has has an enhanced reputation within certain limits. He managed to get closer to the people. He talked their language and, it seems, became a regular "guy." And the other guys liked it. For example, in Butte, Montana,, he asked, before he arose to speak, that the high school band play again. He said he was sure more of the crowd, ;eame to hear that band play, than to listen to him talk. ; That went over big.
