Reviews U.K. Tradel Problems At Rotary

"We desire trade. not aid and

to earn our keep", said Mr. Ken- neth Westen, Financial Adviser to

Ottawa. in speaking to the mem-

regular weekly dinner at the Char- lottetown hotel yesterday.

”We can never grow enough to feed ourselves", continued

explained how Britain had to sell

ments to raise the money for "cash and carry" in the early years of World War 2. before lend-lease be- came effective. All sources of in- -come including ships. manufactur- ing, etc, were out off and diverted to the immediate necessities of War. All markets had to be, abandoned and customers required to get their goods from other

sources. "In five years we were bled' white". said Mr, Weston, "From

scratch we have had to recognize the changed pattern of trade and devise new techniques to regain a trading position."

”The country was just getting back on its feet when the Korean situation arose and developed, with the priorities for defence again raising difficulties. We have 900,000, men serving in various parts n.'H the world, and these have been' diverted from prodiicilon for exporil or home.consumption". i

"We have to supplv what the, world wants". Mr. Weston said! and with more than 5!) per cent or the world trade confined in the sterling financing, we find the ar. raiigement working out satisfac- torv"

The new administration in the United States is now engaged in going over the whole proposition of sterling and convertabillty with Canada taking an important part in the whole set-up. "The move- ment is not a closed shop." said Mr. Weston. "We are carrying Western Europe in the sterling ar- rangement and at fl. recent meeting in Paris were able to give an en- couraging report in the countries involved We believe that our pro- posal will solve their difficulties as well as our own.

"We are calling on a reserve ofy young people in Britain who are, showing inventive genius and inita-' tlvc which is most encouraging, but we can 011')! '10 l()l'lI"'l'rl with ro- operatinn from the Unitpd States and Caiinrla. We have no market outside Britain unless the buy- ing nations buy. but we have high hopes for the success of our greatest endeavours for the future. the speaker concluded."

Mrs. Allan Martin. Arrangements for the group's pzirtlcipatioii in the United Church Exposition were made. Members were asked to. bring to the next meeting inex- pensive articles suitable for distri-. butioii tn imniigrants entering! Uaiiada. These will be sent to the! port worker at Halifax. l

the index into historic DCTSDCCIIVC.

Officials said the current flvr-i months-in-a.-row drop was the moat prolonged since the continu- ous eight-month decline of 1932. But the total drop of 1.5 points in the current five-month decline fell short of the 23-point sag in the first four months of 1952.

weakening food prices have pro- vided the maln power in the drop all through the five-month period. In March, lower prices for fresh beef. veal, and lamb, as well as potatoes and butter overbalnnced higher prices for coffee, apples and processed pork, to cut the food column to 110.9 from 111.6. This compared to a high of 122.5 in November. 19151.

Rents Advancing

Meanwhile, the shelter column rose to a peak of 122.7 from 122.5. continuing the steady, long-range climb in rental costs. A year ago this column stood at 119.4.

Other price changes were small. Higher electricity rates advanced the household operation column to a high of 116.9 from 116.7, while elimination of the s2.50 radio lic- ence fee ovei-balance higher health care costs to reduce the ”otlicrll commodities and services" column, to 115 from 115.2. down from its high of 118.7 last November and December.

Wholesale prices during April continued to reflect the general long-range decline. The industrial materials index. based on 1935-!!!) prices equalling l00. to 231.3 011 April 21 frpm 236.2 on March 27.

The Canadian farm products iii- dcx. also based on 1935-39 prices, dropped to 213.8 from 220.3.

Redsfhange Direction Of Laos' Drive

Vii-;N'l'1ANE. Indo--Clilna. ICP)

- The Communist offensive through Laos wheeled southward Monday and this town on the Thailand frontier liasiily prepar- ed to defend itself.

An official niinouiicenient said the French post of Tha Thom. lying, between here and the royal capital of Luangprabang, fell in the Viet-niinh drive souiliward.

The number of troops involved in the drive was not df;closed. Substantial rebel forces were still waiting in the mountains overlook- ing Luangpra-bang for a possible attack on it.

The new offensive to the south may mean an all-out attack on this poorly-defended town or a Communist drive into southern Laos. Since crossing the frontier April 12, the Vietmiiih army has confined operations to northern Laos. where it has swept forward against little more than token re- sistance.
