the international tariff struc- ture can Canada realize the full benflts of her war.born industrial adulthood.
 World markets must be found in competition with the factories of the United States, the United King d. m, and eventually of European countries which for the time being are cut of from in- ternational trade.
 Responsible Canadians go of the record on this point. But their reaction to the question of indus. trial competition with the U. s. is very fortnight:
 "dive us the markets to support mass production and there is no reason why we cannot manufac- ture almost anything as good-Rnd aS cheaply-as the United States We might even make 1t Q little cheaper"
 EXPORTS JUMP
 Even before the war, when in. dustry was much less important to employment up here than 1t is now, one-thlrd of Canada'S manu. factures were for export trade. If any substantial proportion of the dominion's new plant is going to be kept operating, to give work to the million new persons who have been brought into the manpower pool, much more than third of future production will have to be sold abroad.
 The difficulty of the problem that this poses becomes more apparent

 The remainder Of her exports to Us included, in contrast, almost Sie0 millions worth of wood prod- ucts, almost eb2 millions worth of foodstuffs, almost e66 millions worth of non-ferrous metals and fon-t1le- taillc minerals, more than GA Inil- lions worth of chemicals and animal products.
 Canada has to continue finding outlets for these raw and seril- manufactured items. But, if she is to give work to her citizens she must also build up outlets for the automobiles and trucks, the radios, the electrical goods, the clothing, the hundreds of finished Items that her war.produetion machines and tools will make If they are given

 The Nazi Party has always made great of the virility of It's mem. bers. l have seen the sex instinct deliberately aroused in many ways. At mass meetings, speeches dwelling on the copulative prowess of the Nazl male would send the storm Troopers marching out of the hall all set for 0 demonstration.
 At the movies, I have seen pic- lures whose only purpose could have been to turn the spectators thoughts toward procreation, with long love passages and subsequent scenes de- picting the joys of parenthood.
 Hence, besides the large number of women who joined the Nazl forc- es out of mistaken patriotism, or from reactionary instincts, or from greed, or out of craving for adven- ture, there arose another sizable group-the women who clung tc Nazism because only the Nazi Party would protect their illegitimate chii- dren. Theoretically, the fathers are the young German heroes" who have been fighting Hitler's war. Ac- tually, they are often the married bosses of little secretaries, filing clerks, and saleswo1nen.
 There was the young unmarried woman working in the Propaganda Ministry who frankly talked about  her newborn child to the foreign correspondents. She had been away for Q few weeks. On her return she told us Of the confinement and of the fine new German. She was only one of 0 large number. Usually such women tried to brazen out the situation, making fun of the "old- fashioned, backward Christians .'' Often enough this little set speech would be accompanied by abuse of the wives who would not give di- vorces to the men who had fathered the concubine's un-Christian chil- dren. If the fathers could have got divorces, the thought ran, then the unmarried mothers could marry and start new families.
