% y L / | I i ' F "that Britain THURSDAY, SEPT. 10th, 1936 2 ese HAILEYBURIAN Page 7 oo oe The Ottawa Spotlight By Wilfrid Eggleston Ottawa, Sept. 8th. -- External markets for Canadian products is a matter about which the present government is giving a great deal of time and attention. | One of its first acts was to} conclude a trade agreement with| the United States. A second was} to exchange notes with Japan, bringing a tariff war to an end. | Later there were agreements} with Haiti, Brazil, Poland, New} Zealand, Uruguay. | This summer Canada had 'three, travelling salesmen' overseas on a) similar mission. Now they are back, and the government is dis-| cussing the deals they made while, they were away, which must, of| course, be ratified before they take effect. Messrs. Dunning and Gardiner were exploring the British mar- ket, which always ranks first or second (sometimes one, some- times the other) among Canada's external markets. Agreement May Continue The Ottawa agreements, which gave Canada free entry plus tariff preferences for many products, were signed in August, 1932, and were for five years certain. But they do not automatically termi- nate in August, 1937. There isa provision that if either country gives six months notice they ter- minate after five years. But if neither country denounces them in this way they continue indefin- itely, until six months after a no- tice is given. Of course there is no likelihood of Canada serving notice next February that she wants the agreements terminated in August. It is true that there were features of the agreements which the Lib- erals denounced. But now it is pretty clear that the Ottawa pact gave Canada a good deal more from Britain than she gave Bri- tain- Britain is much more likely to give notice next February that she terminates the agreement with Canada. But there is no cer- tainty about this. So far she has not intimated whether she will or not. Canada took the precaution to send Mr. Dunning over to Lon- don months before any action was pending, so that if any adjustment Canada can make will prevent the repudiation of the agreement, this can be done in time to keep the agreement alive. These things are secrets of state. But my own guess is that Canada will be prepared to make fairly extensive concessions to Britain to retain the present free market she enjoys for her major products. This does not necessarily mean will maintain her high duties against Canada's com- petitors. The present government is more inclined to be satisfied with free entry for Canadian goods. So that, by mutual con- sent, it is possible that the agree- ments will be varied to allow the Argentine and Denmark to es- cape some of the present duties against their goods. Britain is concluding a new agreement with the Argentine, and it is quite like- ly that it will be negotiated with this possibility in mind. Longer Breathing Space If Britain does denounce the agreement, the betting here is that she won't give notice until after the coronation in May. That would give Canada.a little longer breathing space in which to come to terms with Britain. In every budget since the Ot- tawa conference Canada has low- ered duties against Britain. That she will again do so in the 1937 budget is virtually assured. It may be that by giving signs that she is willing to pay a little more for a continuation of the agree- ment, than she was to get it in the first place, she may be able to retain the benefits of a free market in Britain. This, with a rising tide of agricultural nation- alism in Britain, would be a major achievement. 'Whatever the _ explanation, whether it be improving business, increased prices or what, Canada's external trade is showing a great "come-back'. The value of July exports was the best since 1929, and ran at the rate of nearly a billion dollars a year. In fact, in the past twelve months Canada's total trade has been in the neigh- borhood of $1,500,000000. That's a big improvement. New trade agreements with Germany, Russia, Holland and Switzerland, such as Hon. We D. Euler is said to have tentative- ly negotiated, are bound to add a little to this rising trend of Ca- | @, ume of international trade so far- |nada's external trade.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY INVESTIGATING SIX AREAS IN ONTARIO In a statement on its field work in Ontario this year, the Geologi- cal Survey, Department of Mines at Ottawa, reports that it has in- vestigations under way in six areas, two in Northern Ontario and four in the southern portion of the province- In the Quetico area, to the west of Port Arthur, T, L.

The picture-taker stopped the car, instead of whizzing by. S EVERYBODY knows, one of the important pleasures of a vaca- tion trip is talking about it after- wards. It is a rare person who has no desire to tell his friends what a "grand" time he had, of the places he visited, the beautiful scenery, the interesting people he met, and vari- ous entertaining experiences. If he is a good raconteur with the ability to make word pictures, his friends are likely to listen for quite a while, but, on the other hand, if he doesn't know how to tell his story interestingly, he may have to give in to bored "Yeah's," or a counter attack from his listener who, the chances are, has been on a vacation trip himself, and wants to tell his story. However marvelous and interest- ing a trip is, and however well one is able to describe it, in the course of time the memory of it becomes dim, too vague to be inspiring any longer even to oneself. How much are you now able to tell about scenes, people and places on your first auto tour, say fifteen years ago? There is only one sure way to keep these memories from fading and that is to take a camera with you on your trip and take pictures. With a cam- era, at least a half dozen rolls of film and a determination to take advan- tage of all picture-taking opportuni- ties, you can create a-picture story of your trip that no words, written or spoken, can tell so vividly, and it will live. You always will enjoy look- ing at these pictures--and, as to tell- ing the story to your friends--be sure they will always be ready to look when they won't listen! Too often it happens that when starting on a vacation trip, he who has a camera neglects to take it along, or, if he does, too often fails to take advantage of picture oppor- tunities. For example, it is easy, when one is rolling along the road in an automobile to let an interest- ing or beautiful scene go by with- out stopping the car. Make up you mind before you start on a vacation tour, whether by auto- mobile or otherwise, that you are go- ing to bring back a picture record of the principal and most interesting things you see; and tell any travel- ing companions without a camera that when you see a good picture they must give you the chance to get it. Remind them that this is a plea- sure trip, and, especially if you go by auto, that this business of whizzing by the scenery just to get to the next place in the quickest time is silly. Impress upon them that stopping to record an interesting picture will be worth incomparably more in per- manent value than the few minutes gained at the end of a day's journey. Get the pictures as you go. 93 JOHN VAN GUILDER Kapuskasing area, where details} of a large project that was com-| menced last year are being com- pleted.

District Ore Shipments: From July 31st to August 28th, 1936, shipments of ore from the Cobalt mines reached a total of 1,005,162 pounds, according to the report of the T. & N.O. Railway. There were 12 cars sent out, seven of which were shipped by E. C. Peterson with a total con- tent of 638,617 pounds. The O'Brien mine had two cars in the list, containing 168,000 pounds, and the balance was made up ofa car from the LaRose, the Imper- ial Bank and the Temiskaming Testing Laboratory. a A DAY'S WORK If you sit down at set of sun, And count the acts that you have done, And counting, find One self-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him who heard, Oné glance most kind That fell like sunshine where it went, Then you may count that hour well spent.
