The Canadian Congross af Labour suggested in a brief te tie committee that Canada nc- cept sterling as payment for part of her experts to the United Kingdom. The C a n a d i a n government would pay the exporter in dol- lars and use the sterling, whic would be collected in a "coun- terpart" fund for its purchases in Britain or for materials pur- chased under the Colombo plan fer economic development of Southeast Asia. Martir Levinson a the CCL Department of International Af- fairs said that by tis mrethod of trading Canadian fnrmlers could get rid of tirir surpLuseS. It is encouraging that at long last one organized group begins te realize that the expert af ag- ricultural surpluses is net a question any mere of the airer fellow wanting ta buy, but an urgent necessîty for our iarm- ors of haing to sel Sharp Contrast In sharp contrast ta tis very positive approach ta a grave problem, tie solution o wrich n 100 un six Junior it -up is a mu s for the smooti func- tioning i tire ,Canadian econ- omy, stands tire Bri submitted by the Canadian Foderatien of Agriculture, Federation leaders excel ir threorizing on tire actions tirai should be taken by otiers, and seen to bave completely lest - if tihey ever hd it - the fac- ulty f thining in terms ef action toe hotaken by tre farm- rs thernselves. Concerned about "dollar defi- cits" the brief advised non-dol- Iar countries ta improve thir competitive position in dollar area markets with sound fiscal and monetary pelicies. Theoy should also eari more dollars by expanding tiroir exports te Northr America, Tis would be a botter solution tian restricting imports lire sonme ai thm did last year.

They were regarded as a pagan' food, and the flrst shipload to arrive in the country went bad because nobody dared to eat them! They grew thob Britain's third mot popular fruit, after apples and oranges. By 1938, more than forty-two million bunches were being sold annual- ly in Europe and the United States alone, Now British scientists believe they have discovered a new strain of banana immune to Panama Disease, wbich attacked the Jamaican crop recentiy. Such a strain may eventually supersede the variety which we import at present. More than ine hundred varie- ties o banana are known, but most are never seen in Canada. They are called "plantains." A cultivated food, as vital to the natives et the tropics as wheat ta ourselves, t h e y usually re- quire coking. Next to coconuts they are the m o st econemical vegetablo food. Properly cultivated, tbree hun- dred bunches ai bananas can be produced per acre -. 44 times the weight of potatoes and 133 times the am ount of wheat that can be produced in the s a m e area. Altbough the plants may grow te a height of forty feet, tohy are net trees, but gigantic herbs, for their stems are not hard, but spongy and contain ne weod. Cluster of yellowish flors on tihe plants gradually grow in- to bunches of bananas, each bunch weighing 50 to 125 pounds, and grouped into "hanids" ofhe- tween ten and twenty bananas. The first crop is not ready to ho cut for ten to fifteen months, but afterwards production is more or less continuous. In East Africa there are ban- anas as thick as men's arms and two feet long, whrile a Far East- erni variety makes a substantial meal for three hungry pople. Natives of Uganda convert bananas into brandy, champagne, beer, vinegar aind jam, ard somtimes use the waterproof leaves as umbrellas. Fleur is made 'fron the truit in parts of South America, while in Inde-China the stems are burned and the resulting ash used in the purification iof cane sugar. It is believed that bananas first grew in India and Senth Asia, and then spread throughout the tropics. Bannas were f o u n d in the Now World at least tiree hun- dred years ago, but it was not until 1873 t h a t enongh were produced in - tre West Indies and South America to enabie themi to be exported ta Narti Amorica and Europe. Despite popular opinion, ban- anas are not indigestible if eaten whren ripe; tint is, when ail the green rhas gone from the ski, leaving it yellow or black. When a casting braoke recent- ly at Workîngton aid a 40-tan ingot explod, Herbert Hall and Charles Bail turned and tan for safety. Hall stumbled and fell, and the fiery metal swept cean over bis body leaving him un-, rarmed; but Bail, who was up- righrt, was sirot through with molten metal.
