A. F or rester, Publisher Thursday, November 3rd, 1938 What War Does The story of the past twelve months is the story of war and rumours of war, wijth world peace threatened. Some countries are throttling or en- deavouring to throttle neighbour states while others are girding on their armour for an expected conflict. Whiat happens to peaceful; commerce when a country is invaded is a lesson which the au mat trade figures, just completed, convey. We are all affected. War-torn Spain has always been a good customer of Canada, in late years a great, many Canadian, automobiles have been sold there. Three years ago these alone accounted, for over two and a half million dollars. Our total exports of all commodities have now sunk to $32,000 in one â- twelve-month period, China has been invaded by powerful armies and our trade, imports and exports combined, has declined by four and a half million dollars ~hwo a year ago.' We are still getting » little coffee from, Ethopiaâ€"not very much of .itâ€"nolr, indeed, so much as we were getting formerlyâ€"only about four thousand dollars’ worth. Some people prefer the flavour of Abyssinian cof- fee to any other. It grows wild1 in the new Italian colony. Our exports to that country are practically nil. Turning to a more pleasant subject, you will recall that recently the Irish Free State, or Eire as we shall have to learn to call it, and the TTniltéd Kingdom have buried the hatchet. Their trade war is ended and â- in the new agreement. Canada is on the same ground floor. Our exports to Eire have been increasing at a fast rate recently and during the past fis- cal year have jumped from three million odd to five million odd. « * * * * * The Famous Bluenose Most Canadians when they think of the schooner Bluenose may think -of a racer tint the fact is that the ship is a working fisherman-â€"a typical Nov*a Scotia deep sea fishing vessel, making her regular trips 'to the "B'aniks” or offshore fishing grounds. Not long ago 'the Bluenose came Aiaek to her home port of Lunenburg after making a trip to the banks and in her hold were more than 2,000 quintals of fish ready to be processed for the dried fish trade. It’s in between fishing trips and no|t very often as it happens, that â- the Bluenose is a racer. In October the' schooner met ia, Massachusetts fishing vessel, the Gertrude L. Thebaud, which has ; challenged for the championship trophy that the Canadian boat has held for a number of years as the fastest fishing. schooner of the North Atlantic. This was the first race in some years and the Bluenose won the honors again, defeating the Gertrude L. Thebaud three times out of five. Kxcei I: that she has proven fastsels. They are all sturdy sailing ves- cal of Nova Scotia bank fishing veser than others, the Bluenose is typi- eels, capable of withstanding the stormiest kind of weather. They range in size from roughly seventy tons to more 'than 125. When they’re fish- ing they carry crews numbering up to, say, twenty-five. For the most part they use the “long line” method of making their catches, which means ithat they do their fishing from two-man dories which are put overboard on the banks and from1 which “long” lines, each with five or six hundred •short lines attached, are set. The catches consist, in the main, of cod, had- dock, hake and pollock. At certain (times of the year the “bankers” seek fares for use in the tried fish trade, at other seasons mi inkers of them go “fresh fishing,” which is another way of saying that their landings are intended for use on the fresh fish markets.
