DON'T DISREGARD A COLD

Peace Time Trade Is
Equal To That Before
The War Occurred
COMMISSIONERS
OPERATE SYSTEM
Soldiers Are Engaging
In Their Former
Occupations
Associated Press

PARIS, May 9-Canada is in the
midst of an energetic campaign TO,
foreign trade which, from results thus
far achieved, bids fair shortly to push
her peace-time exports up to unpre-
cedented figures. On armistice day
Canada's foreign commerce, outside
of that in war materials, was virtu-
ally at a standstill, because of lack
Oh shipping facilities and the condi-
tlons imposed by war. Today, Eve
months later, the volume of her pc. =
time trade is said to be equal to that
before the war, and the receipts to be
greater. Canada's exports in 1914
vert valued at approximately $780,
100000.
AS Sir George Foster, Canadian
Minister of Trade and Commerce
who is in Paris, pointed out to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press,
the foreign field for Canadian acti-
vit;es is virtually without limit. The
difficulty which is being encountered
is the inability of European countries
TO pay for goods, although they are
anxious to get them. Canada al
ready has granted credits of S25 OoO,-
600 each to Belgium, Greece, Ruma-
MIA and France, making total of
$1OC 900 COO Othe. credits are under
discussion. Large advances also have
been made to the mother country t,
enable her to pay for products for,
herself and her allies.
Canada is operating in the foreign,
field through well organized sys-
tenn of trade commissioners T..is has
been supplemented by trade mis-
sion in London and branch mis-
sion in Paris. This machinery is de-
signed to get into close and quick
touch with European necessities with
view to placing Canada's natural
and industrial resources at the service
of the countries over here for recon-
struction. The results thus far ac-
hieved have given rise to great op-
timism in regard to Canada's i'm
mediate future in trade.
A large part of Canada's war
time industries are said to be con-
,vertihle for peace-time manufacture.
Canada's war industries were, as a
matter of fact, really an organization
of her peace facilities. Sir George
Foster estimates that the losses which
will be sustained in the conversion
Will be a minimum -
Coupled with the quick return t..
peace conditions industrially has been
the successful working out of the de-
mobilization scheme for the troops.
These men are rapidly being absor-
bed into their old occupations. All
the Canadian troops remaining on this
side will be back home in about two
months, it is stated, ready to take up
their pre-war work.

woodstove after cutting hole in the
side of the car for the stove p.l
Liquid food proved our only difficult
ty. 1t was impossible to boil even
half an inch of water on the stove
