Britain's Bacon Supply

For the five years ending with 1938 Den- mark suppiied 52.3 per cent of Britain's bacon imports, while 16 per cent came from Canada, 6.8 per cent from The Neth- erlands, 7.4 per cent from Eire, 6.3 per cent from Poland, and 11 per cent from other sources. During the war, all imported supplies came from North America, and by the end of the war Canada was supply- ing 79 per cent (in 1944, 700 million pounds). '

In 1945, European countries got into the United Kingdom market and of dollars kept down imports from North America. By 1950, British imports were 344.3 million pounds, or 30 per cent less than the 1934-38 average. Of this amount, Denmark supplied 59 per cent, Poland and China, 15 per cent each, and The Nether- lands, 9 per cent. Later, Denmark's share rose to 64 per cent, Poland's to 19 per cent, and The Netherlands to 16.5 per cent.

This month Britain and Denmark will talk about bacon prices in connection with a two-year contract which was concluded in September, 1952. A get-together was held in June which lasted two days, but the meeting this month is expected to be far more difficult. The agreement has a clause which permits a ten per cent fluctuation either way in the price, which is now f252 and 10s per ton, f.o.b. The Ministry of Food wants a ten per cent price reduction, be- cause it. argues that grain prices are falling and bacon rationing may be abolished in Britain, which would probably lead to in- creased demands for imported bacon.

The Danes, on the other hand, want a ten per cent increase, arguing that if rc- strictions on consumption are abolished in Britain, a shortage will develop on the

, world bacon market. They argue also that New Zealand recently secured a bacon con- tract from Britain at a higher price than is being paid to Denmark; also that Den- mark is getting much higher prices from other countries, including the Soviet Union, than Britain is paying.

Denmark is also dissatisfied with the methods of government bacon distribution in the U.,K., because it is not a good ad- vertisement for Danish goods which, in- cluding butter and eggs, must be kept in cold storage until released under the ra- tioning system. This tends to destroy the reputation which Danish farm products originally had for excellent quality.

The London Economist said recently that "as things are today Danish farmers have probably lost interest in concluding any more long-term agreements with Britain,” and points out that Denmark is gradually

below the rate registered by "properous" Alberta. There were six per cent more manufacturing establishments in 1953 than in 1946 and the number of employees, in the industry this year was 119;; higher than seven years ago. The increase in manu- facturing profits between 1946' and 1951, the latest year for which information is available, at 161717 was highest for all Can- ada. In manufacturing the value of output per worker rose by over 7366 and this in- crease was greater than for any other part

umbia. Total personal income for 1952 was 419.) above the level for 1946' and "even after allowing for the larger population an ad- vance of 3375 took place in personal in- come pcr capita."

Such figures as revealed by Mr. Mac- Pherson, notes the Moncton Transcript, are encouraging; Other regions of Canada with which comparisons are made are new, un- derdeveloped areas which are experiencing a period of unparalleled prosperity. Against this background he has endeavoured to show that since the war the Maritimes have expanded in many fields more rapidly than have other areas and uiat in some cases these provinces have led the entire country. The steady progress represents worthwhile forward strides and supports the belief that the Maritimes will continue to grow. and prosper with the rest of Can- ada. What is needed is more confidence in the Maritime potential and faith in the fu- ture of these provinces.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Trafalgar Day, 1805.

An explosion of vaporized hydraulic oil resulted in the death of 36 American naval men aboard the carrier Leyte. It may be that the unfortunate acci- dent will speed the installation of the steam catapult for launching aircraft which is in process of adoption by both the Royal Navy and U. S. N.

A new type of flying pig pen, enabling 28 pigs to be carried in a Bristol freighter aircraft, has been devised by Silver City Airways of Britain and approved by Brit- ain's National Pig Breeders' Association. It was used for the first time recently when 84 pigs were transported, in three flights, from Malmo, Sweden, to Cambridge, Eng- land.

The exasperation of Lord Beaverbrook is understandable at the results of diplom- acy in Trieste but his proposal to call home the foreign secretaries and "evacuate" the lUnited Nations would not have the desired effect of avoiding any meddling with the ldomestic affairs of foreigners. The trade ministers he would send abroad would soon be much more closely involved in those domestic affairs than the foreign secretar- ies ever dreamed of being.

OMarltlmo Progress

Reference has been made in these coi- umns to the recent stimulating address of Mr. R.. B. MacPherson, of Canadian In- dustries Limited, before the Maritime Prov- inces Board of Trade. Mr. MacPhersan cited convincinglcvidence to show that the Maritimes. despite geographical and other handicaps, are not so badly off as the prophets of gloom would have us believe. The population of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick increased by 11W, between 1946 and 1953, he pointed ,out. And he added:

"Admittedly some other provinces have shown more spectacular rates of population growth. but it 'must be remembered that population density is still greater in the Maritimes than in any other region. The value of mineral production doubled be-

- tween 1946 and 1953 for 8. rise of 2656 in volume terms and the gain shown by the province of New Brunswick alone was ex- iceeded only by Quebec and Alberta. Elec- trical energy produced by the Maritimes increased by 5396 and the advance exhib- ltod by Prince Edward Island was larger than for any other province while Nova

p scotian output increased at a rate almost .f'Qqtjj,l to that for Ontario and British Col- umuavpnd betuhedtonly by. Prince Edward

That the potential productivity of the seas and waters of the world is not being used, notes the bulletin of the Fisheries Council of Canada, is revealed by the fact that the best estimate of world production of fish, excluding whale products, is in the order of only 26 million metric tor- an- nually. To adequately supply the nutrition- ai requirements of the world by 1960 this amount must be increased by 47 per cent. J o -

It is quite evident that President White and the chairman, directors and executive of Imperial Oil Limited appreciated the op- l portunity oflrevisiting the Island yesterday, and it goes without saying that they were warmly welcomed! by our citizens. These gentlemen hold highly responsible positions, but they find time for social amenities and the personal contact? they maintain in com- munities all across Canada is one of the secrets of the outstanding success which their corporation has achieved.

FISCAL AFFAIRS

From the report of the public accounts committee submitted to the House of Assembly, April 28, I875:

"The amount of debt assumed by the Dominion when this Island be- came a. Province thereof was at 350 per head of the then popula- tion, 34,701,050. The actual debt due by the Island on the 30th June. 1873. was 32,088,542. Since that time there has been paid for the con- struction of Railway, the sum of SI.'734,0'l8, and in interest on de- bentui-ea sold in New Bnmswlck there was paid by the Dominion 3493. These amounts make the sum of 33,873,713. The difference be- tween this and the debt assumed, leaves 8. balance of s827.336' in fa- vor of the Island on the 31st. De- cember. 1874.

"Your committee find that in the Accounts of the year 1873, a balance of 550.303 remaining on hand from the sale of land damage deben- tures was lodged in A bank for the purposes intended. To this sum was added 31.087 for scoured in- terest, also 3100 for-sundry proper,- ty sold, and also 568,000 trans- ferred from the Treasury to this account, in all making sli9.'l80; of 'bh.Ls' sum 32,733 was paid for balance previously ovci-drawn from banks.
