OTTAWA, April 27-GroWn
under war conditions from a
partially developed state TO a
great industrial nation and mil
itary power with high interna-
tional standing, Canada Is deter
mined to 90 into the peace main
tanning her new rating as the
worlds third largest trader, sur
passed only by the United States
and Britain, despite her less
than 100000 population.
Canadian industry has grown
by leaps and bounds, and be-
cause Of the strength of her rap
idly modified arsenal and
fighting arms, the administra-
ton feels that the time has come
for the country to proclaim that
she has become of age. This
will mean a lossening of the APP
ron strings which have kept her
in Britains shadow for genera
tons.
Signaling the break-away are
the related national debut into
the realm Of international diploe
macy, and an independent trade
program under which Canada
will enter world markets as a
direct competitor of the mother
country.

No other Dominion has gone
so far TO assert her independence

the development is considered a

through powerful single-voiced

would have all British nations
become.

its four-point program for the
postwar era:
l. Extension throughout the
world of the kind of relationship
existing between Canada and the
United States and between
members of the Commonwealth.
2. Progressive removal c,
trade barriers.
3. International monetary sta
bility and provision Of credit.
4. Domestic policies to pro-
vide maximum employment and
production and to prevent infla-
ton.
Through the legations and en-
bassies, in addition to the high
commissioners in Britain and
the other Dominions, the Prem
Ter hopes to work out a great
common cause, aiming first at
hemisphere nations who are now
practically unified through eff
forts of the United States in the
Pan American Union. Paradox
ically, Canada never has taken
her seat in the union because of
old Empire ties. When next she
is invited to join, however, she
probably will accept.
TRADE TREATIES MADE
Trade barriers between Can
ada and the United States have
become progressively lower dur
ing the administrations Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. King,
who in private life are old per-
sonal friends with similar views
on wide range Of subjects. And
under the aegis of Woodworking
James A. McKinnon, Minister Of
Trade and Commerce, most
favored-nation treaties have be-
come operative within the last
two years between Canada and
Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina
and Brazil. These are in pre-
paration for return to normal

MAKE OWN PLANS

The association found ii signifi-
cant that in eight out of every 10
cities local industries, frequently
consulting with their real estate
boards and local realtors. are
making their own programs for
conversion of government-owned
plants TO peacetime operation
without waiting for civic or COM
munity "reconversion' plans.
Property Deterioration: Eighty
per cent of the cities have fallen
at least p per cent behind in nor
NAL repairs and maintenance Of
property.
In more than a fourth Of the
cities upkeep has been between
25 and so per cent OF normal.
In II cities out of every 100
upkeep is 25 per cent Of normal or
even much lower.

deterioration of the nations physi-
cal plant as reaching serious pro-
portions.

During World War 1 only one

Among property items low on

POPULATION TREND
Population and Employment: |:
Seven out Of 10 cities look for a
population growth in the first five
postwar years, while 50 per cent
expect an employment decline.
Generally, it is the larger cities
which expect more population and
are more pessimistic about en-
ployment.
OF cities of more than 100000
population, 90 per cent look for
decreased employment and 68 per
cent foresee increased population.
The survey also showed that va
cant lot sales may have consid-
cradle pickup next year in line
with increased home building due
to lifting Of construction bans.

Hard TO Determine

The question as TO the most
economical temperature to main
tain in a home is incapable of one
general answer, Appalachian
Goals. Inc, stated Saturday.
II is, of course, more economi-
cal from the standpoint of fuel
consumption to maintain a tenn
perature of so degrees than il is
TO maintain one that is comfort
able for the occupants. but there
is no advantage in conserving fuel

possible jeopardy 10 health.
DESIRES VARY
What the most comfortable
temperature is varies for differ
ent persons.
The most healthy temperature
is probably about 20 degrees, and
most prefer it two TO five degrees
higher.

Help From Architect
Necessary for Most

Every one who Is planning on
building home has ideas on what
he wants it to be but few have
the technical ability to make
workable plans that could be fol-
lowed by a builder, so II is well,
experts advise, to consult an archi-
tect to make ones dream home a
practical realization.

Inadequate Piping

One of the consequences of in
adequate piping is that faucets on
the second floor of a house will
deliver only a dribble of water
when fixtures on the first floor
or the basement arc in use or
when the lawn is being Sprinkled.
Detroit evening times., 1944-11-19
POSSIBLE SAVING

According TO tests run by the
University of Illinois, a possible
fuel saving from z per cent to 10
per cent may be made by reduc-
ing the house temperature six TO
10 degrees from about 10 p. m.
to $50 a. m.
The only really satisfactory way
to do this is TO have day-and-
night thermostat which auto
matically lowers the temperature
at night and brings it back up
during the day.
The temperature should not be
lowered more than five degrees at
night if a Observation-Disclosures

has missed only one of the shoots
IN the last 20 years.
Meanwhile; no less than eight
