French Crisis Points Up Commonwealth Trade
By HAROLD MORRISON
Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)-—The lingering French crisis throws fresh portance on the forthcoming Com- monwealth trade and economic conference.
Developments in France seem to indicate the strengthening of Commonwealth trade and not the European supermarket may be the big economic event of 1948.
Britain, the Gibraltar of the Commonwealth, had hoped to throw in with her European neighbors to erect the so-called industrial free trade area, to re- duce tariffs among the European partners and create a somewhat
-protected market involving 250,- 000,000 customers.
But the internal weakness of France, and its shaky future, raises" doubts whether the free trade -area will ever be fully real- Ized. . The alternative for Britain may be to concentrate on an expan- sion of her trade within the Com- monwealth.
NOT FREE TRADE FOE
Canada is not entirely opposed
to the free trade area. Some fed- eral experts believe a strength. eflmg of the European economy might eventuallylead to a grow- ing market there for Canadian exports. _ ‘ But others cannot help feeling Britain's I-ink - up with Europe might lead to a new trade bloc, heavily fenced with tariff and other barriers that would hinder transatlantic -trade.
Canada has already urged Brit- Ish exporters to pay more atten- tion to the Canadian market, with the view that the more Canada _I>11ys from B 'tain, the more Brit- ain will be a e to buy from this country.
Efforts are being made to at- tract more United Kingdom c-ap- Ital to Canadian industry. Trade usually follows investment. Cana- dian officials say Canada imports so heavily from the United States Partly because that country has established In any subsidiaries here which import goods from their parent companies.
Last November Canada sent a 57-man trade mission to Britain to investigate and perhaps set up new sources of supply for Cana- dlan markets. Britain recently

AND LIFE
C. PIDGEON, D.D., LL.D.
First Moderator of the United Church of Canada
EACH ONE OF US IS NECESSARY IN GOD’S PLAN
The old controver-sey about God’s election and man’s fre e will has quietly dropped on-t of sight. Once it was the great issue between Presbyterians and Meth- odists in Canada. It is not that the problem has been solved, but that the contestants .on both sides have bypassed it as they worked together to meet the spiritual needs of a young nation.
But somehow the problem of the divine election and human freedom refuses to be outgrown.
As our minds develop, the issue grows with and the mys- tery looms higher and wider. Once some students put the question before a professor in Montreal whom -they knew to be critical if certain paragraphs in the West- minster Oonfession of Faith, and he answered: “The only course for a preacher to -take is to ac- cept both sides of the truth and study each on its merits, believ- ing them to be reconlcilalble in a
higher reason than ours.” Certainly each doctrine has its value, and both are essential to a full-orbed view of the Christian revelation of God. g In St. Paul's discussion of the subject in Romans 9, that most difficult of chapters, he quotes Exodus 9:16 as follows: “The Scripture says to Panaoli: ‘I have raised you up for the very pur- pose of showing my~ power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth‘. ”
the passage in =flhe Revised Stan- dard Version of Exodus 9:16, we read: “For this purpose have I let you live to show you my pow- er so that my name may be de- clared through all the eart .” AN EXAMPLE
May we not take this as an ex- ample of truth that God rules or overrules. God is in command of all the movements . of nations. Men cannot frustrate His purpos- es. When men are obedient, God wonks through them to tiulfill His own purposes.
As St. Paul wrote in Romans 8:28: “We know that in every- thing God Woiiks for good wit h those who love Him, who are call- ed according to His purpose.”
But when men rebel, God ov- err-ules their rebellion to serve His ends; the divine will cannot be turned aside by the puny hands of men.
Contrast the attitude of Moses with that of Paraoh. With deep misgirvings about his own unfit- ness, Moses obeyed God’s call to lead Israel to freedom, and God worked through him to break the grip on an enslaved race of the mightiest monarch in the world. '
Paraoh had power to do trium- phantly all that God wanted to have done for His P8041318. but he used that power in an attempt to frustrate God’s design, and God overruled Pharaoh’-s. opposition for Israels complete empaincipa- f tion and to magnify the POWBT Of
nations of the world. THE TRUTH
Apply this truth to the conflu- sion of our world today. The reins have not slipped fmm_ G°d’5 hands. He is still directing 13119 movements of the nations toward His own objects. Nations may ig- nore Him or deny Him; they may even liorm “anti-god” socieities to promote their unbelleft but God is still behind His laws and ac- tive in enforcing them.
Look at the heads of those who violated in our time God’-s laws of humanity. and human rights. that have already fallen in R115‘ sia.

treatment of the individual. The believer may not be able intell- ectually to reconcile the divine election with his own freedom of action and moral responsibility, ‘but he knows that God’s S-overe- ign grace is behind his salvation and he can see and do God’s will -in the changing situations that confront
God’s call to Moses at the Burning Bush was clear and com- manding, and so also was God’s call to Nehemiah who had no such vision of transcendent splen- dor. Both men attempted and a- chieved the impossible because their obedience opened the door for God’s action.
WONDERS
Men like Oliver Cromwell wrought wonders in war and peace because they believed that they were called by God to meet the crisis of their times and felt God working with them and through them for ends enternal.
Likewise every one of us has a place and part in God’s vast design; it may be small in men’s eyes, but it is indispensable to God
Jesus told the humble of His time that not a sparrow falls to the ground without the Father’s

notice and concern, and that they were of more value than many sparrows. It is every person’s privilege and duty to find what ‘he means to God and what God means to him and for him. No life can be meaningless when God’s place in it is recognized.
Since it is true that each of us has a place in God’s plan, cer- tain things follow.
Each person is immortal until his work is done. God who raised him up for His own cause is re- sponsible for providing the op- pontunity to do his part.
The fact that each is a neces- sary part of God’s plan gives him an importance far beyond his size and strength. The linchpin in the vcoriquerors’ chariot was very small, yet absolutely necessnry: without it the victor could not have directed the battle.
The world may deem my con- tribution unworthy of its notice, but when God has placed me where I am, my part must be taken before the whole is com plete. , J
In this faith We can rest. “God is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year.” The out- come is in His hands and nothing will be lost.
