The 1948 British Columbia Live Animal Fur Exposition will be held Vin the city market building New Westminster, B.C., November 14-16. Animals on exhibit will ' ‘ " mink, fox, chinchilla, mar- ten and ﬁsher. Manager Jackson expects about 1,200 animals will be in the show. Invitations have been sent out to United States fur farmers to exhibit in order to make the event an international ODE.

Seaboard dz Western Airlines, lnc., 16 Liberty Street, New York 5. are advertising reliable and fast air shipments of all furs and pelts between New York and Europe on their "Seaboard B: Western Air Traders." Shipping furs by air has become quite common.

The International Fur Animal Show will be helddn Detroit, Michigan, December 2-3-4-5. lt is sponsored by the Michigan Fur Breeders Association and it is ex- pected that all the principal breed- ers of silver fox and its mutations. mink and its mutations, in the United States and also some from Ontario will exhibit. One of the features will be the showing of fur garments estimated at having a value of a quarter of a million dollars.

'R.oy D. Harmon, past president of the National Board of Fur Farmers. has this to say about the present situation of the fur farm- ers in the latest issue of the Black Fox Magazine, New Yorkz-“Prob- ably the chief cause of the collapse of the fur market in general since the War is the general disruption of commerce and trade between nations as a result oi the War. Europe in particular found the ﬁnances of every combatant coun- try strained to the limit after the War merely to provide the essent- lals of life. As a result until the past year, Europe has been nearly out of the fur market. Not only trade in iurs has suffered but dis- ruptlon of normal trade between nations in nearly all commodities has occurred.

“This breaking up of normal trade balances has hit nations like Argentina. Mexico, South Africa and Australia. some of them not in the War st all. These countries have by government orders ceased to import such commodities as are not essential to their economy. Unfortunately for us iurs are con- sidered in that category and sev- eral nations are now completely out of the world's fur markets. In recent months there has been con- siderable improvement in business in several countries of Europe. enabling them to step into the fur markets again on a moderate scale. But even with thls improve- ment the fact remains that now. August, 1949, over half the fur wearing people of the world are cut of! from wearing furs by gov- ernment edict, by ﬁnancial diffi- culties or by the fact that their currency is not acceptable to the nations that have the fur.

"With over half the fur wearing peopleout of the market those countries with fur to sell have sent it into the United States snd Canada. the only countries where it can be sold st s price for cash, which can immediately be con- verted ic purchase of any kind of goods desired. The furs sent into this country since the War hsye amounted each year to from two to ﬁve times the average annual pre-wsr imports. Even the econ- omy of America cannot stand that. Our fur farmers erebelng forced out oi business. our dealers going broke with huge inventories of ever declining values. Our trap- pers ﬂnd it no longer pays t0 trill with the result that in many sec- tions wild foxes. skunk and rac- coons hsve multiplied until they are a nuisance.

"Business recovery in Europe is not likely to occur by bounds but when it does come it will do much to consume the crest quantities of fur available. It should improve trsde conditions in non-European nations so they will again buy furs. Recipients of our aid under the Marshall Plan state It is a de-

finite help in prosporib abroad. There is no way to fore- see how much time this process will require. In the meantime, the pressure of these vast quantities of furs on producers in America of both tarm and wild furs will re- main enormous.

“The National Board o! Fur ljerm Organizations is fully aware of these conditions and deﬁnite and determined steps are being taken to improve the situation. Bills are now before Congress to place restrictions or quotas on im- ports and to reduce the 2067- Ex- cise Tax. Passage of these acts will not be easy. Rebuffs have been encountered and will be met again, We continue to believe clean American business has enough friends in/ official Washington to bring about some aid before com- plete strangulation of the Amer- ican fur producing industry oc- curs."

We notice in The American Fur Journal the death of Leo N. Sil- vcrman, owner of the Chicago Silver Fox Farms, Napierville, Ill. Mr. Silverman purchased ﬁfty pairs of silver foxes from Mcilure L‘: MacKinnon and the writer with Arthur Henderson, who became their caretaker, placed them in their pens the afternoon of De- cember l0th. 1925. It was sero weather with a strong wind blow- ing snd we never felt as cold in our lives. Mr. Henderson had good crops oi foxes and the fact that the ranch is still in existence shows the quality of the breeding stock they received. Mr. Silver- man was manager of the American Steel and Wire Company and held oiher important positions. We re- gret his passing.
