Canada 's Domestic Exports

Domestic exports from the Dominion of Cait- arla for the four months ended April, 1942, as compiled by ilie Dominion Bureau 0f Statistics of the Department of Trade and Commerce, in- dicatc a continuous tipwarzl trend. To all coun- tries for flic period stated. total exports were $660,870,001) as compared with $405-$600“) l°1' the corresponding period of I941. It is to be noted that domestic exports do not include goods trans- shipped to Canada from other countries, but are exclusively of Canadian origin.

An analysis nf the countries to which such exports have gone forward shows a substantial increase to practicnllv all Empire countries, with tlic possible exception of British South Africa. Southern Rhodesia, and .1 four lesser portions of the Empire, though there has been an increase in

the exports to East Africa, .r\ somewhat 110181111’- increase in the exports are those which haw 1Z°11¢ forward to British India, the total value of the ex- ports to that part of the Empire for the first four m0n1hs of 1942 being $36.532l°°° P15 11111111151 58-‘ 0118.000 in the 1941 period. There has been a 1'61)’ considerable increase in exports to all of the Brit- ish West Indies. To Newfoundland the increase in exports has been from approximately $3909" 000 l0 over $9,000,000, To Australia during the period, the exports have increased from $3.000.- ooo to almost $16,000,000 and even for the month of April of this year, exports increased by $1.- o00.000. To New Zealand during the four months period, the increase was from $3,000,000 to $5,-

One of the interesting decreases has been in the exports to Eire, which fcll, in the four months period, from $371,000 in 1941 ‘to $537900 l" i942.

A very hcav_v increase is noted in the exports to the United Kingdom which increased in the four months period from $182,000,000 in 1941 to $244,000,000 in 1942.

Exports to Latin American countries have shown marked increases to practicallv all of these reptiblics but Brazil, where exports decreased in the four mouths period from $2,000,000 in i941 to $1,500,000 in 1942.

.'\n interesting increase is ‘found in the exports to Iraq, which increased from $20,000 in I941 to $5.1m.o00 in I942; but the most startling increase is in the exports to Russia. which increased in the four months period from $2.000 in 1941 to $13,- 097,000 in 1942.

U.S.A. Congressional leaders have tinder consid- eration a proposal that a iii-partisan group of 10 senators and representatives be chosen to confer in Great Britain with Parliament members on the conduct of the war and plans for the subsequent peace. Proposals for such a visit were reported to have been advanced tcntativelv and informallv by a representative of the British Government iu n secret uwclinv with Republican rind Democratic leadcrs of both houses at the Capitol. As outlined at this conference, the plan was reported to call for the s'-l"c"'o-1 of five Democrats and five Re- publicans, including the top ranking members of the house of rcnresa-ii!ntives. and Scuttle. io tiiake a trip to Great Britain in July as the guests of

The U. S. A. Government intend to convert the liquor (listilliilg industry into a process for the manufacture of explosives, rubber and other vital materials of war. The increase in grain al- coliol for war output, Secretary Jones told the Scuttle, probnblyt would permit the raising of the synthetic rubber production goal from 800,000 to 1.000.000 1011s annually. Residing from memo, Mr. Jones said that the WPB proposed to get idditional stipplies of alcohol by converting bever- age and commercial alcohol plants, including those which normallv process from molasses. into grain alcohol stills for war prorluciion. It was indicated that the program might extend to brew- eries. though it ivas not anticipated that total con- versions would be effected.
