Recently C0llClii(ll'(l agrccntcuts with Brit- ain ltave assured tnarltcts for several years for a variety of Czntadizttt farm produce. The wheat fzirntcr, as well as producers of tncat, eggs, poultry, d-ztiry produce and several other commodities ltave now been relieved of any uncertainty itt connectiort with marketing. But wlnt will lttippen after 1948 or 1950? That depends largely‘ on the outcome of im- pending world trade talks. In an article en- titled "Agricultttre and World Trade Negotia- tidnsf’. published in the August, 1946. issue of the Economic Annalist, Dr. L. Lorine: draws a picture of the intricacies of post-war trade re- lations as they affect post-transition farm pro- duce markets. . Before the war, the United Kingdom and Germany absorbed the bulk of the world's live-stock product exports in addition to large commodities. i of world imports taken by these (with Britain's share shown in interleaving: (78) Ch“ - .1 t n. $.37 (79): Em. 81 Y! Q41 (s3)- o other Western European countries. Before the war, all these nations derived large incomes in foreign Currencies frotn their ittvestttiettts abroad, which enabled them to fill the gap llC- tween export earnings and tnuclti higher ex- penditures for imports. During the five Shars 1934-33, the European nations imported gfludj VEllLlEd at 7,525 million gold dollars, while ttter- cltandise exports totalled ottlv 5.800 tttilliott gold dollars. The 1,725 tnillion gold dollar ex- cess of imports over exports was lZll'Q‘.‘l\' cttv- cred out of investment income. Front thc 1,- 725 million total, the United Kittgdottt account- ed for 1,011 tnillioti, France for about 300 million, and The Nctlterltttttls, ltulv, Belgium and some other cotttttrics for the balance, All these cotnttrit-s ltatve now lost, or are losing, most 0f tltcir furcigtt lllV(‘5llll(‘lll5, .\s a conserttteitce, thev tttu-t ittcrcase their exports and dccrcase imports. The (tuestiott is, httw- ever, where to find ntarkets for these exports. Present creditor nations, the United States and Canada are large, rich countries that need little in the way of imports. At the sapte time they have also made platts to increase their ex- ports to tut itttpoverislted world, several titttcs to pre-war levels in some cases. Unless they can do this, there will be tinemploymettt. The wheels of industry must turn at full StiCt-(l tn produce larger ittdividtutl ittcotttes than before the war, if heavy debts incurred during the war attd on account of recent social legislation are not to result in taxes so ltenvy that living standards will suffer seriously. How to find tnarkcts for the additional goods turned out, in a world where cvcrv na- tion wants to export and ntost nations mus: watch what they spend abroad, is the 64 dollar question that the forthcoming International Trade Conference will have to answer. - EDITORIAL NUHIS .-.

The nature of both philosophies is cssetttially tltc same and likewise the methods of achieving their nitns idehtical, whereas the difference is Durclv for- mal.

The difference lies merely in the criterion as to who is to be regarded as friend arid who as an enemy, but frotn a tnoral point o view it appears to be of no consequenct‘. he Nazis believed that one race only should rlile the world, while all the others should be ‘bjugated and eventually exlerminated.

A bofltle of saccharine water was served for sweetening. y The sweeping expanse of the farmlands of nothern France, \v.th ltc-rds of cattle, acres of out; and and wheat, belied the scantiness of the repast, for it certainly com- pared‘ unfavourably with the quantity and quality of what the restaurants serve in Britain, no matter how monotonous. And at four hundred francs! Here. surely, was the first‘ lokcci of inflation. That evening another Canadian and myself decided to have din- ner at a li-ttle restaurant in Montparnassts. It was not a vefy attractive-looking spot, and when we were told that cabbage soup, boiled vegetables, and a bit of des- sert with ntore acorn cc-ffee would cost u: two dollars each, .hlugs did not look too good. Then it was thnt my friend asked for le patron, and mentioned the name of a mutual acquaintance. Wlih a sweeping how we were ushered upstairs.

Office the 9th of September ha! been fixed as the Hate for the Palestine Conference in London. and the United Kingdom Govern- ment is already making the neces- sary arrangements for the accom- moilation of their Arab and Jew- ish guests. Invitations have been sent to me seven Arab States. to the Arab Higher Executive and t_o the Jew- lsh Agency. In addition, Azzam Pasha, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, is being invited personally through the EtZYPl-la" Government to attend in the ca- pacity of counsellor tn the Aral) States nnrl out of compliment to the Arab 1-685"?- Tho invitation to the Arab States and the l&ll9l"S acceptance ef it were alreurly known. What ls new in the Foreign Office announce- ment, gparl, from the date of the Conference, is the invitations to the Arab Higher Executive and the Jewish Agency. Again. it had always been as- sumed that the Arab Higher Ex- ecutive, which represents all the Arab parties in Palestt-ne, wauld be invited. But it appeared less certain, in view of recent de- velopments, who would be invit- ed to represent the Jews of Pales- tine. It is now clear that the Jn- ited Kingdom Government has de- cided to treat with the Jewish Agency, in spite of the disclosures implicating prominent members of the Agency in illegal activities. The United Kingdom Government's decision shows that the compil- city of the few is not held to in- crimlnute the others. Other things being equal. the Jewish Agency ls the body which would be itormul- ly consulted by the United King- dom Government, since lt was recognized under the terms of the Mandate us the appropriate pub- llc body to advise and co-c-pierate with the Palestine Administration in matters concerning the estab- llshment, of a Jewish home. Neither the Arab Higher Ex- ecutl-ve nor the Jewish Agency has yet announced acceptance uf the invitation. Both are raising diffi- culties. But insofar as their ob- jections may be due to the idea that the United Kingdom Govern- ment wl-ll insist on the federal scheme being taken as the basis of discussion, such diffidence is groundless. It has been made clear to the Arabs and Jews alike that the terms of reference of the Con- ference will not go beyond the general question of finding a so- lution aceptable to all parties. Such a solution, from the United Kingdom Government's point of view, must be just to both the Arabs and the Jews, towards both of whom the United Kingdom Government has a dual obligation. It ls not disguised that the Un- itted Kingdom Government's ro- ferenoe to date is in favor of the federal scheme. as worked out by the Brl-tlsh and American experts. and the United Kingdom Govern- ment intends to lay the scheme on the table of the Conference and to consider any counter-proposals that, may be made. There will be no question of the Arabs and Jews sitting down at the same table together against their wish. But the United Kingdom Gov- ernment's ears are open to all valid arguments against this scheme, As regards the choice of delegates to the Conference, the Governments and bodies invited are free to submit any names for the approval of the United King- dom Government. No names have yet been put forward publicly. The Arab Higher Executive ap- pears to set great store by the in- clusion of the Mufti ln the in- vitation.

The Government have secured the assistance of the British Iran and Steel~Federatlon in setting up a new Control Board for tron and steel on condition that the Federation will have nothing to do with nationalization, Secondly. the demand by the National Farm- ers Union for an investigation of anomalies in the Government's price fixing schemes has been granted _by the Minister of Agri- culture. The Iron and Steel Control Board is beint: set up by the Gov- ernment to tide over the period between now and the time when the important sectors of iron and steel are tiuticnalized. The Gov- ernment had hoped to secure the assistance of the iron and steel lenders in the extremely cnrupli- cated task of sorting out those part5 of the ‘industry i0 be brought under public rcntrol from those to be left as they are.

The en- tire responsibility for working out nationalization thus remains with the Government. The "flaws Chronicle" indus- trial correspondent goes so far as to say that the nationalization of iron and steel may not after all be put through during the present Parliament but that instead a new scheme for public control will be devised on the llnes of a public utility. Present owners would keep their technical control, but would conform to an organized national reduction lan. The plan would e devised y a board re resent- ing the Iron and Steel l" eration, big consumers and trade unions under an independent chairman. At present there is nothing to indicate that the Government have abandoned their intention to bring iron and steel under pub- lic ownership. It ls a fact. how- ever, that no nationalization scheme hitherto effected or pro- pounded by thl-s Government has aroused anything like the opposi- tlon thl| one has. t In those circumstance: it is sig- nificant, not only that even such a deadlock ls not; being allowed to hold up the measures necessary tu modernize and develop this predominantly important indus- try, but that the full fro-operation of its leaders with the Govern- ment in the work is assured. That they are well qualified ls not questioned by anyone. As Sh‘ Andrew Duncan, chairman of the federation has polnted- out, there has been no major labor dispute in steel for forty yeatrs and the industry ls already well enough organized to have produced last year at short notice u national plan for scrapping, rebuilding and extending. a plan which is so well thought of that the Government ls going to adopt it. The crux of the matter is the Government's con- vlctlon. e ressed in the Com- mons deba e in May. that public supervision cannot successfully he combined with the present private ownership and monopoly arrange- ments, ilVlorrell -.....t gummy i Chartered Accountants f Intern rum Building Charlottetown H.
