Trade Wilh Britain

In a din tch from London 11.1 the lfiuziucizil Post, of ' oronto, Mr, Kenneth \\'l1S0l'1, says" that Britain alreadv is considering its 111.11» 111i- tho purchase of Canadian food and 1111101‘ p111- duets after the war. In brief, Britain will buy from the counfrics which are willing t0 acccpt payment in British goods. lf laiiada is 11111. willing to accept such twaynicitt, lli-itaiu 11111 l1uy elcewherr. Our British market ihiis depends 1111 the volume of our imports from Britain.

For sewn years before the war Britain was buying from Canada far more than it sold to Canada.‘ It was carrying a heavy adverse bal- angg m’ trade, with 11111111111 which it 11.111 1'1 make up by exports to other markets. \\-hcn not (m1;- the trgrlg in commodities is consii-lt-icrl. but other factors like interest payments, t11ii1-ist t1~a1l1-, 111111 freight services. the net l1alance 11f payments in Canadzfls favor during the pre- war ycars was as follows:

According to a rplculation recently published 1n the authoritutivc London Economist‘, Bri- tain was running a net deficit on all its foreign transactions before the war of 540,000,000 a year. This was not a large or very alarming deficit. hit as a result of the changes brought E11 r111; 11-111; the prospective dcficit when pcacc 01mg, will be ltlltth larger.
