"12 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, August 18, 1958 Russian Trade In Goods For War Works Two Ways UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) --The United Nations reports that commerce between West Europe and the Soviet bloc is continuing to shrink but indicates some pos- sibly strategic items are still being traded. The summer number of the Eco- nomic Bulletin for Europe, issued here and in Geneva by the UN, did not go into the question of strategic material specifically. But it listed trade agreements of 15 western countries with Russia and six of her satellites, which included some items that the UN committee on collective measures has designated as of high strategic importance in any war. Some other items involved in trade agreements quotas extending into 1954 include products the com- mittee has said might be consid- ered strategic material in specific inistances. Included among the exports to the fron Curtain area are shipping, autos, trucks and tractors, rail- way cars, and lubricants, all desig: nated by the committee as items of primary strategic importance. Other exported items from West Europe included crude and rolled steel, tubing, ball bearings, elec- trical and other machines, chem- icals, machine tools, optical pro- ducts, iron and other ferrous and non-ferrous ores and minerals, watches and chemicals. All these are included in the UN designation of items that might become important strategically in specific instances. Heaviest exporters of these items were listed as Austria, West Germany, Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland Denmark and France. In return, the listed trade agree- ments show that Russia exported valuable manganese ore, scrap iron, ferro-alloys, and diesel oil -- also considered strategic material --to West Europe. Sharpest cut in the dwindling trade 'from west to east was in machinery exports, the Bulletin notes. Tightening of export licenc- ing by western countries cut ex- ports of machinery by 10 to 15 r cent from 1950 to 1851, and > a further 25 per cent from 1951 to 1952. Eastern markets in 1952 ac- counted for less than one per cent of all machinery exports for the principal exporters of machinery --Britain, West Germany, and. rance--leaving the field chiefly to weden, Finland, Austria and to a smiatier extent Italy, the Bulletin said. In over-all European trade, west- fo-east e: by 1952 were almost half of 1938 figure, and east- Jo wast exports were little more a quarter of the 1938 volume. food, timber, fertilizer, and paper products made up a feary part of the trade back and ort Other West Buropean countries for whom trade agreements were listed with various, but not all, Iron Curtain countries included Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Turkey, Greece and Iceland. Britain was listed for only one quota, unspecified raw materials, machinery and textile exports to Lacehoelovakia valued at $4,200, In the few specific increases cited by the Bulletin, Finland was noted to have stepped up forestry roducts and ships for Russia, freden increased iron ore sold to oland, and Belgium increased her exports to Romania. The August Bulletin of Satistics, a UN publication which pictures all world trade, said world ex: ports to Eastern Europe in 1952 were $1,085,100,000, a drop from $1,127,700,000 in 1951. World exports to China dropped from $44,440,000 in 1951 to $274,- 600,000 in 1952. The Bulletin said these figures do not include trade among the Communist countries themselves, for which the UN can- No Raiding Idea Loses the AFL 600,000 Men CHICAGO (AP) -- The 600,000 member Brotherhood of Carpenters withdrew Wednesday from the American Federation of Labor.

Only one car can be the favorite! Only one car can be the most-sought, most-bought car in Canada! That car, year-in, year-out, is Chevrolet. In the first six months of 1953, accord- ing to the latest official registration figures, Canadians bought 41,660 Chevrolets. This is 12,401 more cars than were sold by is nearest competitor -- dramatic proof of Canada's continuing preference for Chevrolets! : The tremendous popularity of Chevrolet means lower production costs. It means big savings that are passed on to you! And because Chevrolet value lasts, there are extra dollars for you when you trade in your Chevrolet, for Chevrolet consistently shows highest trade-in values of any car in Canada! Final proof of good value is the loyalty of Chevro- let drivers, a loyalty that grows stronger with every new year -- with every great Chevrolet we build. Although other cars are available, thousands of Canadians are wait- ing patiently to get their Chevrolet. No other car will do! Surely this is proof of Chevrolets superiority . . . and its unchallenged place in the hearts of Canadian motorists. : NEW-TYPE TREATMENT HAMILTON (CP) -- An electro- stimulation machine, replacing the familiar shock treatment, has been installed in the Ontario Hospital here for treatment of specific types of mental ailments.
