With export sales: running behind last year (down S73(),00t)i it looks as though doiiicstic consumption will have to be increased by lbs. per cap- itri over last year if the industry is to break, even niarketwise with the catch. i From 12.87 lbs. in ll)-'19, per capita cor.-p siimption rose in 1050 only three quarters of a pound to 13.53 lbs. and jumped only another third of a pound to 13.69 lbs. in 1951. About half of last year's consump-'. tion was fresh or fro'I.eii (6.82 lbs.) and most of this was seafood. Another 4.67 lbs. came in a can; the rest was smoked, pickled, salted or dried. Canadians, says the Departiiient, are, eating something less than one pound of fish for every two they are exporting. Do- mestic consumption in 1931 is estimated at 255 million lbs. eoniparcd with total ex-, ports of about ;'i.'l0 million lbs. This rel- atively small home coiisunipiioii has been increasing SiPFl(iii)” but too slowly to be sat- lsfactoijv. The relative importance of the freslip and frozen fish industry is eiiipliasizcd by. a glance at the export. market. in both 1950 and 1951 the United States took 6SCb of Canadian fish exports. Total value of exports to the l'nited States in 1951. was 5585.2 millions, of which S53 millions was 1 date 1666. A bakerls cart in Pudding Lane ihave been made available by the Federal forces of the United States clearly are opposed to admission as they are gener- ally opposed to any increased importation of foreign goods. A year ago the British Government announced definitely that it would not grant to Japan the most-favored- nation tariff rights which are the basis of the Geneva agreements. But clearly the economic future of a nation as large, pro- ductive, ingenious and strategically import- at Geneva, nor can it be settled without. regard to political and military conse- Japan recognized the obvious fact that the Japanese people could not long be held as the virtual prisoners of their conquerors in the last war. They were given their national sovereignty before they were in a position of power to recover it, on the assumption, primarily, that fair and generous treatment would persuade them toward friendliness to the free world while coercion would drive them in due time to- ward the welcoming empire of Russia.

According to the plan,, the Food and Agi'iciiltui'e (lllgalliziilioll will cnntiniic in develop its present arrange- ments for rlctectiiig lziniiiie enicrgencics and appraise the Secretziry-Geiieral pr0mDU.V on the scope and duration of any emerg- ency devcloping iii any couiitry. The See.- retary-Eencral will thereupon co-ordinatr all measures for relief. Governnicnts of countries vulnerable to famine are. also asked to set up advance an-angcipciits for c,o-ordiiiatiiig all national effort and for the speedy receipt and dis- tribution of aid.” The latter provisimi i'W0h'cihl.V "19 most. important, because with all the will is in the world it. takes time to make plans for relieving famine and to carry them out. 11' countries subject. to such conditions have plans ready for eniergeiicies the effective- ness of international aid can be consider- ably increased. Japanese Trade Proiilem Having made a politital peace scttleiiieiit with Japan. the western world must. soon consider an economic settlement which very largely will determine Japan's future position in world politics. Japan, notes the Winnipeg Free'Prcss, is asking for member- ship in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, by which 34 nations already have lowered their tariffs and attempted to re-establish a sound world economy. When the partners of this great: project meet at Geneva in October they are expected to decide whether Japan shall be admitted to , their ranks or not. v Then is no present indication that Ja- in, admitted. The protectionist its inadequate for the market there can ,very readily be gluts at particular times. 1-Mr. D. A. MacDonald, chairman of the P., 1. Potato Marketing Board, has warned lfarmers that a great many other areas crops are now available and the immed- iiate demand will take. very little filling. O O , Food scientists at the School of 'Agri-1 leulture and the Low Temperature Researclit Station at Cambridge are carrying out ex- iperiments with a portable X-ray machine ito spot bacon-producing pigs. In most pigs, the number of ribs varies from 13 to 11.7 and the proportion of lean to fat meat varies accordingly. If X-raEy proves successful, it is hoped to produce a standardised long, lean pig. 9 ; Two weeks with pay seems a very dc- isirable thing to a lot of people in this part theiof the world but it is a long way from, iwhat the South African Bantu considers iadequate. An official report estimates ithat the average healthy native male liv- jing in the Reserves contributes between ,15 and 30 days of actual labour :1 year to- iwards the maintenance of his family. Pigs in the Republic of Ireland, ac- icording to the London Times, quoting an iofficial announcement, must now be all twhite. It will in future be an offence ito keep other than a white pig. Farmers have had notice of the intentions of the Minister for Agriculture since last July, when the use of colored pigs for breeding was prohibited. It is considered that the white pig gives better bacon and pork. A iiiontli from now the new eoiisuiiier price index will supercede the present cost of living index which will, however, be car- ried on for a few months longer. About 65 more items of goods and services will be included in the new index in spite of the dropping of items no longer commonly found in household use. Changing the base period from 1935-39 to 1949 is expected to make the present figure about 120 rather than the e.o.l. figure of 188. r Much of the hubub about the Colombo Plan was re-hushed at the recent Couchl- ching conference, the useful accomplish- ments of which are frequently overshadow- ed by more bizarre intellectual antics. Fortunately Finance Minister Abbott, who was among those addressing the conference, has-asserted with unmlstakeable determin- ation that he is opposed on principle to any further extension of Colombo Plan aid by Ottawa.
