"In 1956 the same trend pre- vailed. Agricultural employment declined by some five per cent and an estimated 45,000 persons left the industry."

Canadians on the average not only earned more in 1956. but spent more-and saved more.

Spending on consumer goods and services increased to a record 818.556.000.000 from 317.139.000.000 in 1955. Consumer credit rose by s:s0.000,o00 compared with an in- crease of S340,000.000 in 1955.

OTTAWA iCP)-Defence costs climbed 518,000,000 or one per cent in the 1956-57 fiscal year from the previous year.

Rather it is directed at the landlord who wants to get rich at the expense of his tenant. who is unable to fight back."

She is also expected to visit Denmark before sailing for Hali- fay April 16 to take on stores and prearpe for her regular summer operations in the Canadian Aro-

tic.

Although officially described as a "goodwill" visit. the Labrador's European cruise is believed to be part of a Canadian government plan to publicize Canadian ship- licine Canadian shipbuilding skill.

During her stay in Portsmouth. the Labrador will be visited by several groups of British mari- time and oceanographic scien- tists. She normally carries a number of C nadian civilian sci- entists on her patrol trips in the Arctic and they may take part in the European cruise to demon- strate special research equip- ment.

The decision to send the La brador to Europe is believed to have resulted from the sensation caused by the visit last summer of the Canadia-nbullt and de- signed anti-submarine destroyer St. Laurent.

it is known that senior Royal Navy officers and ship designers were impressed by the low, clean lines of the St. Laurent, whose flared. rounded bow and low su- perstructure gives her a sub- marine-like appearance.

British newspapers carried lengthy articles describing the St. Laurent and said she was ”well ahead" of British designs for ships of the same size.
