Consequently, Canada must be prepared to suffer some adverse results *in foreign trade outside of the Western Hemi- sphere. Then again, it'ts no secret thatthe aggressive tactics of trad- ing, nations are:beginning. to turn more and more towards the West- ern Hemisphere, part ly con- -ceentrating their attentions on th ten countries of South America. + This means that Canada must de- good cide whether she will or will not start a: strenuous: trade concen- tration. policy in the Western Hemisphere..to offset. any. or all losses elsewhere on the globe, Is this policy advisable at this time? There are two schools of thotigh' on this timely and vital subject and both possess Sound argu: ments to batle-up. the opinions. One school of thought: favours such a policy, even if it means greater political interest by this country in the affairs of the Pan- American Union. They argue that the United States lias developed an enormous export trade in South per cent of all the imports of Latin Americe ag against 25 per cent. in. 1918, with the additional information that this trade has proven so valuable and profitable there. Due to the general decline of trade throughout the world, United States exports to the ten countries of South America have gone down exactly 308,400,000 in the past ten years,-but the pro- portional decline in the case of the dictatorships has been much smal- ler, amounting for the same period to only 101,000,000, with the sc- tual figures showing a gain for Italian, German and Japanese ex- ports to Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador and Venezula. Those who are in favor of more and more concen- tration in the Western Hemisphere direct attention to the fact that other nonmFascist nations are working furiously to increase their trade there and they are succeed- ing particularly Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Norway, and British India, For example, the United King- Don t Hibernate-- Insulate not only your car, but your- self as well.

Shop at pre-war prices while present fall stocks last: ARMSTRONGS it * OF WHEAT e Bs By H. . L. STRANGE Director, Research Depurtment, Searle Grain. Co, Ltd, Viscount Gort, Commander-in- Chief of the British Army in France, has just expressed his, belief that men and: not machines will win the war, This is in keeping with the con- viction of all great commanders of the past; and military history Targman with nie, bayeod or fantryman. gt; gt; OF the ancient foot soldier with his sword, who finally won battles. War machines such as armoured curs, tanks, and aircraft all, of course, now render valuable help; but it is:stif the foot-soldier who will decide the final issue. But just as war machines re- quire fuel in the shape of good oil, so will Viscount Gort s men require fuel inthe shape of good food. The last: war showed. un- questionably that the . German slsles tora a end. were severly weakened by poor food, by their tough indigestible black bread; whereas the British soldiers maintained. their full) vigour to the last; mainly because they had an ample supply of excellent, white, bread without any bran or shorts in. it and made to a great extent from high quality Canadian wheat. Great Britain and her Allies now have command of the greater part of the world s good oil and wheat, which isa fortunate thing for all ofus. Factors. Affecting Price Following factors have tended to raise price: Jugo Slavia bans corn export- Import tax on wheat; flour and other grains in Sweden it has been cancelled Increasing dry weather complaints from U. S..win- ter wheat belt A decrease of 15 per cent in area sown to wheat in Buenos Aires compared with last year Fall rains in Western Can- ads much less than normal. Following factots have tended to lower price: Substantial Danubian corn and barley supplies Corn outturn in Rumania is, large Fall seeding in Hungary is making ac- tive progress and early sown grains are up to a good stand England fixed the price of Canadian export grade floor at twenty-two shillings per 280-Ib. sack. dom, Belgium and Netherlands in- creased their exports to Argentine by 4.3 per cent in the last ten years; Belgium, Norway and France added 11.8 per cent in ex- ports to Bolivia in the same period; Sweden supplied 6.9 per cent more to Brazil in the same time. Canada also increased her trade in all the kets on the part of this nation. However, there js another school of thought on this important sub- ject and these persons are strong- ly opposed totany-concentration of Canadian capital and political en- ergy in South America. They argue that in face of all pretense of good-neighbor Policies of: the nations of the Western Hemi- sphere there is sufficient evidence in history to show that Latin American nations do not fail to devise ingenious schemes to take over foreign investments. Ever since 1865 when an Argentinean Statesman, Calvo, enunciated the doctrine the foreigners who have any financial claims-must submit them to locsl courts rather than tely on the protection of their diplomatic representatives. This so-called Calvo Clause has been written into numerous. constitu- tions, treaties, laws and contracts, with the result that in many cases foreigners cannot press diplomatic claims successfully, though. they are entitled to this legal right under the principles and rules of international law which has been built up throughout the centuries. In other words, precedents of ac- tual cases and the law itself in tnany instances make it possible to exempt foreign, investment or. property rights from lawful and proper diplomatic protection in South American countries and the way is paved for the seizure of any of these assets, if the partica- lar state might wish to do it in the futtire, Since armed force or intervention on the part of Canada is out of the question, a great many Canadians are reluctant to concentrate this country s foreign trade in Latin America, Nevertheless, in view of the cir- cumstances and condiiotns of the credit and business structure of th world today, Canada: must de- cide now what road is the proper one on which to travel. in order to safeguard the progress of the foreign trade of this nation since it is unquestionsbly the life-blood of our whole economic structure, Y.

In Alberta Crop Districts 2, 15 and 16 are the only ones which have enjoyed better than normal j, rainfall, All the other Crop Dis- tricts are well below normal with Crop Districts 3 and'5 being under 25 of normal.

In Manitoba all the Crop Districts are normal, or approximately normal, with only No. '14 to be considered poor, show- ing 56 of normal. The precipitation which occurs in the fall months of August, Sept- lember and October hetween har- vest and freeze-np usually all penetrates into the ground and so is available to the next crop. In- vestigations which haye been made show clearly that these fall rains have an important bearing on the: production of the succeeding crop: The low figures for Alberta and. Saskatchewan. reveal, therefore, that unless generous rains occur before the first of November the usual time for freeze-up then next year s crop will start under the severe handicap of insufficient reserve moisture. The moisttre situation in Manitoba, however, is good. Searle Grain Company, Ltd, BLACKMORE RE-ELECTED . C. LEADER J. H. Blackmore, M.
