New Problem Looming For West In Red Trade Threat
. By DON PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) Already faintly heralded, a new problem in the West’s competition with Russia appears possible over fu- ture world markets. .
It is the possibility that, as Russia increases and improves its capacity to produce con- sumer goods and other manufac- tured products, it will offer them at out prices in a bid to capture markets.
It is not considered a serious problem at persent. But some trade officials and others in re- sponsible places see in the future the West having to compete with state-suibsidized goods that can be sold for prestige reasons with- out regard to costs.
C a n a d a last year became aware of the possible difficulties in future of meeting Russian trade competition. The Soviet sought to undersell Canadian and other aluminum suppliers of the United Kingdom and succeeded

A new cloud on the horizon is
seen in the emergence in-to world airline competition of Aeroflot, the Soviet’s aviation combine. _ As an entirely state-subsidized airline, it could undercut at will travel rates offered by com- panies from other countries.
Officials here say no formal government consideration is yet being given to this problem. The main reason is Russian competi- tion has not yet become wide- spread in the goods that Canada and other Western coun-tries sell.
A change in the world situa- tion might alleviate the problem before it becomes too tough, offi- cials say. '
Among those in Canada who have previously referred to this problem is Senator Wish-art Ro- bertson (L—Nova Scotia). In a senate speech during the last Parliament, he expressed con- cern about “a new and serious challenge” to Canada’s world niarkets that might come from

Russia.
SERIOUS COMPETITOR “Soviet Russia, whose area is three times ours and presumably has three times our resources, may become, sooner,or later, a very serious cornpetitor,” he said. /
Noting that Rustia had been offering aluminum in London at less than current world prices, he said:
“In the course of time she will probably produce anything we do, and she is in a position to sell it at whatever price she sees fit.”
The recent final report of the Gordon economic commis- sion also mentioned the matter: “There may be halcyon pe- riods when trade between the So- viet bloc and the rest of the world will be conducted primarily on commercial grounds. But Soviet trade will never be unaffected by strategic considerations and may often be deliberately disruptive and pira-tical in intention.’’_
‘ may NOTES on run ioncs
,1-Iudson Bay Company fur sales! held in New York last week were very successful. All types sold well, and Ed Gold, an authority on furs, states that the market is expected to hold steady on all important colors. This conclus- ion was arrived at by talks with. dealers and manufacturers follow; ing the conclusion of the sale.
It is recognized the prices have generally eased slightly ‘since February, but on certain types, which include Stew-art pa.- tels and certain other types, the decline is non-existent. Following the pastel sale, the auction room had pretty well concluded that neither ranches nor auction hous- es were going to permit any 1111' portant decline in price.
Here are a few of the prices realized: Blue Iris Lu-tetias were 92 percent sold and a Collectlon of Ceruleans was 100 P‘€I'Cen"$ Sold- Top male Lutetias brought $74.00 and females——$32.00. Blue Iris males brought $43-00 and $23-00 for females.
A total of 22,808 dressed Au-I tumn Haze Stewarts was 73 P91‘-; cent sold, with Lop males bring-’ ing $50.00 and females $23.00. De-i

‘Furriers in the United States have to carry full insurance, as thieves are on the lookout for op- portunities -to break in and carry off their goods. A crafty bunch of burglars ‘at Rockford, Illinois,, last w-ek stole mink furs valuedl at $25,0 (wholesale) at Rhom- ber~g’s Fur Store.
They punched out the lock on
photo studio, then-—were able to knock out a portion of the wall separating the studio and fur store, thereby circumventing the burglar alarm system. The bur- glars took only mink garments, and were so methodical that they replaced them with other less ex- pensive furs. MAKING C0-MEBACK Chinchilla, that had its habi- tat in the highest mountains in the Andes in Chile, and which was a very exclusive fur some forty years ago, is now making a comeback after being neglec- ted because of the inability to se- cure supplies from nartuI‘e’s sour-

He and others were successf<ul in bringing out a few, and it was from this small beginning, with ranches established in California, that the industry h-as progressed until now, when it is taking its place in the fur fashion world. In the most recent issue of ‘‘Women’s Wear Daily” there are illustrations of women wearig partial and full shoulder shawls of chinchilla, and they look very beautiful. Quite a number in the Maritime became interested in chinchila raising in a small way. and we presume they are still following on with that attractive operation.

Advises Re New Parking Meters
Police Chief C. W. MacArthur advised «car owners who use the new parking meters in the City to turn the handles as far as pos- sible to the right after depositing their coins.
He Said that unless this motion is carried out a little ‘ttraufvfiic vio- lation” flag will appear in the glass casing where the needle in- dicating the amount of time avail- able should be registering.
For those who fail to turn the handle to its rfiullest extent all they have to do to turn the hen- dle once again. The extent of ‘the turn is almost a. full revolution. If the matter is overlooked and the car owner leaves the viola- tion flag flying, police officers have no other choice«but to is-

Sealer Returns
To Home Port
Sequel to a photo story of the ‘sealing hunt off the North Shore of P. E. I. is the return to port of the’ first sealing ship “Arctic Sealer,” pictured recently in this paper among the seal herds off Rustiico harbour. As told by veteran seal hunter Mike Mahoney of Bonavista Bay, there are still plenty of seals to be taken, but the breakup of the melting ice has ended hopes for -further seal hunting this year. The “Arctic Sealer” on which -he was -a crew memlbier, return- ed to port, filled below decks with seal. skins and some 2000 more piled on her decks, for a total , cargo of some 25,000 seal skins. For the 72 crew members who will share in the profits from the sale of Iih-ese pelts, is the added income from the sale of those edible deliicacieis —— seal -flippers. N-ewfoundlandens were waiting on the docxklside when the first ship arrived and initial prices of $10 a dozen, were later cut in half as each crew member disposed of his supply of about 45 dozen. llustrating the haza.r-ds of seal hunting were the experiences of the men, who had to walk as far as 31/2 miles from their ship, stuck solridlly in ice for 8 days, and on one occasion the men walked ashore from their ship and visited the home of a New Brunswick fisherman. To some of the costal residents of N. B. and P. E. I. may still come some v-all-uaible salvage in the forum of lost pelts wh-icth drift- ed away on ice pans or were abandoned because they -could not be reached or recovered by the ships-to whrich they belonged.

They will also ask the Ca- nadian Labor Congress to en- dorse the CCF as “the political arm of labor."
-The local disclosed here Mon- day they will ask consideration on 16 major resolutions. Topping the list is a drive for increased wages, and a five-day 30-hour week, instead of the present 40 hours.
