Another Big Victory

Add to the encouraging news from the iotllcfronts of Normandy, Italy, Russia and the Southern Pacific the fact, as given in the latest official statement on anti-submarine activities, that merchant vessel losses to the undersea raiders “reached almost the lowest fig- ure of the entire ivar.” In a. joint statement re- leased on Sundzvv by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, we have the assur- ance that "Hitler's stihtii.'triiie flcct failed on all counts iii June, 1944." No dctailcd figures are given, but it is stated that for everyt Ilnited Nat- ions’ nterclittiit vessel sunk by (ierniztii stibtiittr- inns, several titties as many Ll-boats were sciit b the bottom.

It is not long‘ siticc tlic subinaritie tiicttacc bulked large itidt-t-tl, causing an zippallitig toll of losses every iitotith.

Prospects in Argentine

"It would appear lo be more essential than ever." says _l. .\. $troiig.

The fourth of .\lr. Strong's articles deals Wlill Argentine imports from Canada which, lie declares, “have had to be ltctit at the low level commensurtitc with the stipplics obtainable from

They indicate the character of the import dc- mand in this market, and cover three broad groups: (i) mass-production commodities from Canadian raw ntaterials, such as newsprint and wood-pulp; (2) i-sw materials and raw or semi-raw materials and parts for local indus- try; and (3) heavy machinery and specialty manufactures, such as farm machinery, need- les, and ivatt-meterg flttich are not produced in Argentina. n}
