At another point, the report; says that since Canada is the‘ United States’ best customer “the‘ latter must be vitally interested; in the soundness of Canada’sl economy and therefore be in favor of this diversification which: will help increase it.” TOURED IN 1957
The mission of Canadia-n busi- nessmen was invited to make the trip by Prime Minister Diefen- baker. The tour of British indus- try lasted from last No . 21 to Dec. 19. It was headed by Trade Minister Gordon Churchill. tuThe 82+page report notes that in recent years Britain's trade with Canada has declined while US. trade with this country has in- creased sharply. '
“While the development of this’ strong north-south trade is nat- ural, it is believed that a grea‘ r diversification in Canada’s ex- ternal trade is in her long-term‘ interest.”
It was logical to implement such I policy through an expan- sion of trade with Britain “for msny of the resources of Canada sud Britain are of a complement- my nature."

The long - established dollar sterling trade council is being re- organized for this purpose, With headquarters in Toronto it is en- visaged as eventually having branches in main cities across the country.
T_h€ report suggests to British businessmen that “far more at- tention should be given to adver- tising."
“It should be realized. once and for all, that there can be no large rnar"ket for British g--eds in Canada solely because they are British.
“They will be bought only if the Canadian public knows that for quality and price they are worth buying.”

2.-If a British firm decides to set up its own organization in Canada, it should carefully ex- plore the possibility of associat- ing itself with an existing Cana- dian or British firm operating ' a related and non - competitiv business. This would reduce over- head and ensure distribution.
3; When sufficient trade has been established, British firms should, if possible, set up assem bly or manufacturing plants Canada, porviding on - the - spot sales and services.
PLENTY OF OPPORTUNETY
The report says the Canadian: market offers ever - in-creasing opportunities to British industries, especially those prepared to con- sider long-term development.
It suggests items that couldl find a wider sale in Canada are agricultural chemicals, tractors, balers, forage harvesters and other hay - making equilpmennl grain conveyors and grain diers for eastern Canadian use.

In construction materials. the potential for U.K. exports to this: country “would appear to be in steel and iron products with some emphasis on refractory, a c i ds proof and special glazed clay products which are now largely imported from th e United States.”
It advises that the Canadian market is extremely competitive and that the British. exporter should be prepared to allow from three to five years before getting any great returns.
The report also has these sug- gestions for British firms wanting to increase Canadian sales:

They are keen - eyed men, armed with powerful field glasses and radios. who can spot a "crossroader"-—or an overflow- ing ashtray—-more than 100 feet away. ’
The "crossroader" is the visit- ing professional cheat who may have anything up his sleeve from
idrop of a face card in a black l jack game.
, The drills; operated by flash- light batteries, are used to make
ichines, enabling the crooked player to line up the big pay jack- Dot bars by inserting thin, stiff wires.
Slot drillers are the hardest to spot, but they're becoming a v-an- ishing breed in places like Har- rah‘s, along with the “handmuck- fI‘s.” the “pressers" and thei 'Dushers”—all trade terms for other types of cheats.

Dr. Copp was telephoned at the United Nations by the university’s information department. He ‘is a member of a 20 - man scientific secretariat planning a second sci- entific conference on peaceful uses of atomic energy.
It was reported here earlier that the antidote would adjust the phosphorous content of the victim's diet by absorbing stron- tium 90 in the body.
Dr. Cop-p said that so far the antidote has no value so far as fallout is concerned.
“So far our investigation has been concerned with the problem of accidental contamination in a laboratory or around a reactor,” he said.
“Work has been carried out studying the problem of decon- tamination of radioactive stron- tium from bone. Some encourag-
ing ‘information has been gained:
in a highly experimental stage. At the present time it is of no prac- tical meaning."
