By ROB ROY BUCKINGHAM

MEXICO CITY -W.H-Can-
ada, which will emerge from
World War II q heavily indus
trialized country with first
rate merchant marine, is already
paving the way to move into the
lucrative postwar Latin-Ameri-
can markets.
Operating through eight trade
commissions and three legations,
scattered strategically in Central
and South America, Canada is
keeping her contacts warm and
a token trade flowing, biding
her time until the war is over
and war factories can be retool-
ed for peace-time goods.
With legations already in Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile, Can
ada recently announced addi-
tional ones for Mexico, Cuba
and Colombia. According to in
formation here, the new lega-
tons have not been set up yet
because there are no qualified
Canadians available to run
them. Men ordinarily qualified
are in jobs indispensable to
Canada's war effort.
The trade commissions, some
of which are so years old, van
guard Canada's Latin-American
campaign. Typical OF them is
the one in Mexico, headed by C..
S. Bissett.
Bissetts office is middle
man" between Mexican bust
nessmen and Canadian buyers
and sellers, and it also handles
Canadian relations with the
Mexican press.
According to Bissett, Mexico's
exports to Canada have tripled
in the last three years, although
the flow of Canadian products
south has remained static
around 100000 worth of
goods a year.

New Sachet
Designed to
Add Variability
BY BABETTE

Fashion Editor. the Examiner
Our hat is off to the hosiery
industry for creating new rayon
stockings of x,,uisite beauty
which no one dreamed possible!
Sheer, refined, and strengthen
ed, these stockings, like all fine
fabrics, must be handled with
care to insure a longer and more
beautiful life.
1t is q we'll known fact that
rayons, properly fitted, carefully
Numbered and allowed to dry for
48 hours will wear longer and
retain their original loneliness.
There Is economy in buying
three pairs at a time and alter
mating their wear every third
day. Also remember that when
on the leg a 100 denier looks
just as sheer as rs denier
rayon, and it will wear much
longer.
For washing all delicate hos
iery and fine fabrics we were
recently introduced to an amaz-
ing new sachet bubble bath
which softens the water, i'm
mediately dissolving greasy soil
so that it slips from garments
in a few seconds, leaving them
Immediately clean, free from
perspiration and delicately
scented with a dainty lingering
perfume.
Because II Is not a soap, this
fragrant bath is self-rinsing. A
teaspoonful in a bowl of water
is sufficient to cleanse six pairs
of stockings. Simply dissolve the
sachet in tepid water and swish
the fabrics back and forth, then
lightly press between a towel
and dry.
For your program OF conser-
walton, this exciting all-purpose
shampoo is wonderful for Cir
dies, lingerie, doeskin and cot
ton gloves, baby clothes and
knitted fabrics. Sweaters come
from their sachet bath as fluffy
as when they went in!
This welcome new cleanser
for stockings is inexpensive -
comes in smart, easy-to-use
cylinder, and is sold in a pop
ular downtown store.

Trade Commission Already
Scattered in South America
Conodo includes Mexico. Colombo,
Chill, and Broxil in Giont Drive

In 1943, Mexico's exports to
Canada exceeded $4,000, 900,
which is the first time since the
war that Canadian Mexican
trade has balanced in favor Of
Mexico. In 194l, Mexico re-
ceived twice as much from Can
ada as she returned, and in 1912,
about two-thirds.
The big items that 60 to Can
ada from Mexico are metal ores,
and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Mexico has partially replaced
the West Indies as source OF
"off-season" produce, said Bis
sett. Mexico also exports rice
and peanuts, silverware and
Mexican novelties.
Canada sends large quantities
of newsprint and wood pulp to
Mexico, as we'll as agricultural
machinery and supplies. All
Mexico-Canada shipments move
by rail through the United
States, which allocates freight
space to the two countries.
After the war;" Bissett said,
Canada expects to be able to
compete in any part Of Latin
America on full equality with
any nation"
He said Canada had under
gone tremendous industrial
development, and will be able TO
manufacture for export larger
variety of goods than before the
war.
He said Canada had built 800
lO,OOO-ton freighters in the last
four years, and will have built
400 by wars end. Many of the
ships are lend-leased, but will
return to Canadian possession
with the armistice. They will
form the nucleus for shipping
fleet to carry Canadian products
to every part of the world. He
emphasized that postwar ship
ping in Canada will be in private
hands, although the government
will continue to subsidize ship
ping, probably through mail
contracts.
Bissett said French Canadians
will play an important role in
Canadas expansion into Latin
America, because by culture and
religion, both extremely import
ant assets, they are more akin to
Latin Americans than either
Americans or English Canad-
ians.
A group of 16 French Cana
dian students recently arrived
in Mexico for three months OF
study in the national university
and they will be followed by
other groups, which is part OF
Canada's ground-laying for her
postwar penetration"

WASHINGTON, Feb. LIZ
Members of Congress took
shuddering look at the new in
com tax return blanks today and
one of them, Senator Cotton Ed
Smith, prophesied that the next
"a days would evoke the biggest
a-whooping and a-hollering yet
heard from the taxpayers.
Seldom in human history,
they agreed, have so many owed
so much with so few chances Of
figuring out the bad news UNI
aided by a squad of accountants
equipped with liquid-cooled
slide rules.
Those who stumbled through
a searching query about fiduci-
airy income on page of Form
1040 begged down on amortiz-
able bond premiums, page 2.
With reflex action, most of the
lawmakers at that point tossed
the return forms to their cring-
ing secretaries.
Over a wedge of lemon pie
with meringue) in the Senate
restaurant, Senator Smith, an
unreconstructed South Caro-
lima Democrat, doomed out that
it looked to him like the Bur
eaucrats were a-trying to mess
up and confuse the people.
"Why, Son." he said, Il think
those blanks are crime against
the law abiding citizens of this
country. l believe one Of the
Senate page boys could make
out a better one
Before Smith had time to
point out a likely page boy, a
dozen of his colleagues came
out in favor Of Congress itself
doing something to simplify the
chore of paying Federal taxes.
Tax simplification,' declared

enemy of complicated question

longing problems before Con-
gress this year.

Senator Wiley (R-Wis) liken-

One question in particular on
Form l040 aroused the grudging
admiration of the Legislators for
its phrasing. II asks:
Was the rate of your salary
or wages increased or decreased

NEW YORK-You may have
thought that this Marry
Doats" song, which is all over
the air and the juke boxes of the
nation, sounds kind of childish.
And if SO, you're right, be-
cause it started with a 4-year-
old named Niela Bonni Drake,
who skipped around her house
one day chanting a phrase she
had picked up somewhere. To
the best recollection of all con-
cerned, the phrase was simply,
Mares eat oats but in the pro-
cess Of what now can be digni-
fled as contiguous articula-
ton" she ran the words togeth-
err until her little song sounded
like this:
Marry doats, mairzie doats,
Marry doats. tra-la.
Well, il happens that Niela
Bonnie brakes father, Milton is
a songwriter who, typically, is
always cropping for an idea. His
daughters chant was an annoy
ance for awhile, but later he re-
allied that he couldn't get ii out
of his own h ad. So when next
he got together with his part
ners, Jerry Livingston and Al
Hoffman, they began monkey
ing around with nonsense song
full of slurred lyrics.
LABORED OVER LYRICS
They wrote it over the piano
in ong-plugger's cubicle in
Tin Pan Alley, and they worked
on it over blintzes and coffee in

She saw him the next day for

nearly every evening - some
times as many as twenty-eight
letters would come in the same
mail. Most said: "I'n be back"
Ed Ouain, the garageman, no
ticed for the first time during the
memorial service that Lucy was
sitting in the pew just in front OF
him. He made a mental note to
give her the letter he had in his
pocket; she'd probably like it for

day before the fifth telegram; he'd
carried it around in his pants.
and it was somewhat smudged
and oil-marked on the outside.
1t was typewriter. and Ed had
worked his way through it once or
twice recently, puzzled by some
thing. Reading wasn't the thing
Ed did best. He took the letter out
now to inspect it, and to have it in
his hand so that he would remem-
Der to give it to Lucy when the
service ended.
1t said:
Dear Old Ed:

lars has been following me all
over hell's half acre, and it
finally caught up with me here

the money next month. I've

but they aren't issued to US.

said about me: two bolts where
one would do. Sorry forgot
about this bill.
