In fact it in totally illogical and, in oe experienced opinion, it ia accépted ini Canada only bécause of the innocence of our public in matters of world trade. "The Japanese have ingratiated thémselves with thé Canadian public by their appeals for balance of tradé * and promises of orderly marketing,' Laz Peters, président of the Canadian * Apparel and Textile Manufacturers As- sociation, said in a recent Montreal speech. "Thesé appeals were se care- fully calculated, so modestly presented, that most Canadians who were exposed to thém were willlng te concede their rnerits. "It neyer senied te occur te us that there is absolutely ne excusé, no justification whatever, fer trading na- tiens - Canada no léss than Japan - te have individual balances of trade, or anything close ta it. Bath Canada and Japan, as world traders, have surpluses i.n tradé with some partners, déficits with others. It is the total volume of trade which niatters, as thé Japanesé well know, and as Canadiens should have known."
