May 2 - (C?) Britain was urged tonight by Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe.

H, raid there was an unbalance of between £75,000,000 ($100,000,- C00) and 21001700000 (400,000- 000) in the trade between Canada and the sterling area and if was "unrealistic" to think the differ- ence could be made up by expand- ing the sale to Canada of manu- factured goods from the U. K. alone. ' "The Canadian market." he said "holds no less potential for pri- mary materials from your colonial areas than from manufactured products from the U. K. itself. "I suggest that it can only be by an expansion of such trade with the Western Hemisphere that there can be any real hope of the sterling area being able to balance its accounts with the dollar area. except by continuin o. policy or restriction. "Therefore, I hope that this same drive for exports to Canada and to tba dollar area from colonial and other Commonwealth areas will be made comparable with the drive for exports of the United King- dom itself." Mr. How said he realized there were obstacles such as supply shortages and divergent price levels. yet opportunities might he lost for all time should the Cana- dian market be left to other sup- pliers until the period of shortages had peeled 4 l2 Years Oil Supply Known At Trinidad tey‘ nie Canadian Press) Votes With rogram A l, .
