Ono of Good Spots

The severance of friendly re- lations between the two countries not having occurred until the be- ginning. of August, Canada's trade with Japalrfor the year ended June again showed one of the few satisfactory conditions in this Dominlon's dealings with foreign countries For the twelve months ended June’ this Dominlons sales to Japan were nearly $l8,000.000, an increase of $4,500,000, while Canada's purchases from Japan were, officially, $4,350,000, an in- crease of $600,000. This total of imports would be much larger if there were included the Canadian importatlons of silk which is of Japanese origin, but which reaches the Dominion via the United States.

Sales to Bel- gium were $11,000,000, a drop of over $1,000,000; to France exports were $9,000,000, a decrease of over $2,000,000; to Germany they had slumped to a little over $3,000,000, as compared with over $10,000,000 in th eprevious twelve months; to Italy exports were $3,500,000, l. drop of $200,000; to the Nether- lands the sales amounted to ab- out $8,000,000, a decrease of $ll,0 000,000, while the exports to the various Central and South Am- erican countries, though not large in volume showed further import- ant increases.

m FISHINli EXPURTS

(CI. By Guardians Special Wire)

UITAWA, Aug. il-The world at large, and Canada in particular, 1s eating more Canadian fish than previously, 'I'his is brought out by Roi/eminent statistical figures, says the weekly statistical review of the Trade and Commerce Department. Canadian exports of fish and fish vwducts in the first half of this

06 countries and groups of coun- tries in the world. This was an in- crease of $856,000 over the corres- ponding period last year and more than $3.000,000 over the same per- lcd 0f 1933.

For the calendar year 1934, Can- adian fishery exports totalled $23,- 150,952, as compared with $20,050.- 172 in 1933 and $18,498,466 in 1933. Deducting these exports from do- mestic production figures, statistic- ians find that Canadians consumed Canadian fish to the value of $12,- 000,000 in 1034 and approximately $7,500,000 in both 1933 and 1932.

Canadais most important custom- er is the United States which takes most of the Dominions shipments of fresh fish. Exports to the United States this year Lo date totalled $4,4&,504 or which fresh iish ac- counted for $3,815,860. In the cor- responding period last year exports to that country totalled $3,883,007 of which $3,339,047 were fresh fish.

Exports to the United Kingdom totalled $1,880,123 this year mostly

CONFERENCE

(Continued from P080 1) three-power conference on the Italo-Ethloplln dispute.

Great Britain, France and Itch’ are to meet at Paris next week and in conversations based on their 1000 trea endeavor to find a solution or the present impasse, which othsrwi? will come before the League o Nations Council Sept. 4 in all its stubbornness.

The Sue: Canal ‘question may be the first problem to settle ,if the three-power parley should fail, in- formed observers said tonight.

May Be Requested

The special phrase used by Eden. "the Council" will have to discharge the obligations placed upon it in the Covenant," signified literally that invocation of Article XVI "will likely ho requested, probably by Ethiopia, if the deadlock is un- settled. If such an extreme meas- ure is taken it is asserted Great Britain would give its unequivocal support.

Article XVI provides mediate application of econom“ and-mil- itary sanctions against an ag- gressor.

The principles by which the con- vention of 1888 established. the Canal charter left nothing open to conjecture, and the terms specify clearly more-than once that the canal is to be left open to both merchant and warcraft.

But the objection rained by the Italian foreign affairs magazine Affarl Esterl that the League has not the right to modify this con- vention because its validity was re- cognized in the Versailles Treaty itself is not valid, it is felt here. The London Law Times has al- ready urged this step should be seriously considered.

While to all intents the closing of the canal for the present at least is no more than an academic suggestion. some observers said that unofficial "soundings" have already been made to those nations which might be asked to take part in a Council vote regarding appli- cation of sanctions and penalties against an aggressor.

But if there are to be sanctions, that is, the closing of the canal, apart from the obvious disinclin- ation of France it would be the supreme test forthe League. which failed to take anvsuch steps when confronted with Germany's repudi- ation of the arms clauses of the ‘Treaty of Versailles.

llolvonrnf as noaolls

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) ROME, August 0—-8eVen Italians who were found burned to death in an airplane near Cairo were honored tonight as the first heroes of Italy's East African program.

Newspapers assured the nation “they have not died in vain."

The Glornale Dltalla said one of the victims, Lugl Rama, Minister of Public Works, as enroute to Eritrea “to organize public works which would make more secure an East

a

Africa which must be opened to

Italian labor and civilization."

It also said another of those killed, Raimondo l. chetti, m u- plarer, was "one of the pioneers of Italy in Africa and exploled those territories which must be opened to our works." (rranchetti was an authority on the Ethiopian hinter- land).

(Full state honors were ordered for Razza and his companions by Mussolini himself, h; was dxcrlbed as profoundly saddened by the tragedy.

James W. Gerard, former United States Ambassador to Germany categorically denied tonight Inndon reports he had come to Home w confer with Premier Mussolini on the Ethioupian situation as a represen- tative of the American Government.

SEEK JAPANESE CREDIT

ADUIB ABABA, August 0—(AP) —A one-man Ethiopian mission has- tened toward Japan tonight, pre- sumerably in an effort to secure credits for the purchase of war supplies, another indication of the developingbonds between the two countries.

He‘ was Daba Birrou, fomlcr Foreign Office official, who departed on his secret trip acccmpanied by an unidentified Japanese.

News of their departure led to speculation as to whether Emperor Halle Selassie was trning to oriental friends for arms, money and pro- visions soreiy needed to prepare the country for an expected conflict with Italy. It was sold Birrou would attempt to gain at least 50 per cent credit from Japan for the expected

other British colonies in the Carib- bean imported Canadian fish, mostly ded and salted, to the value of $551,004 this year.

With production of Canadian fisheries last year valued at $34,- 131,971 0f vfllich 22,150,852 was ex- ported, the value of this Canadian natural resource is apparent. It is estimated that 80090 CMlfldlBJlS earn their livelihood direct from the fisheries of the peg, inland lakes and rivers,

Crop Curtailment Not So Great As First. Thought,’ However, Is Claim.

(Gum, .. ._ _ Ilwm) FREDERJCION, N. E, Alli. 0.- Another three Weeks will elapse be- fore shipping of the new Potato crop in New Brunswick to the Upper Canadian markets gets under way ls the opinion of agricultural officials. In some sections of Victoria, Carle- ton and York counties, the early- type Irish Cobblers are barely ready for digging after a. growing season of three months. ‘There is no de- mand at the present time for New Brunswick early tubers in Montreal and the price situation still is Ml- versc. The general harvesting of the late crop of Green Mountains will not be under way until the end of September or early October,

Speculate On Crop

While there is much speculation in the potato-belt at the present time the probable extent of yield curtailment this year, no official estimate has yet been made for the province, it was stated here today by O. C. Hicks, superintendent of the provincial soils and crops division. Reports of a curtailment of forty percent in Carleton County this season compared with last year are believed to be exaggerated, although there isno doubt that there will be some reduction.

The acreage placed to potatoes 1n New Brunswick this year was reduc- ed twenty to twenty-five , ‘ compared with last year.‘ The late blight, which prevails in most areas, will also take some toll of the crop, but the blight situation has not be- come serious as yet, and there is no reason to believe that the general reduction in the yield will be as serious as at first thought.

Survey Underway

Growers in some localities have observed that the potatoes are turn- ing out poorly, there being few tub- ers in a hill in some places, but how general this situation is remains to be observed by officials of the Fed- eral Inspection Service, who are now making their second survey of the season. It is reported from Carleton County that the yield-per-acre this year is from 80 to 100 barrels on the average compared with 100 to 130 barrels per acre last season.
