HARD IN MY HEART= I -- 7a Shortages Slow Shipment Of Essential Materials Ottawa (CP) -- Production Min- ister Howe says that Canada will cooperate by every means pos- sible to boost the flow. of ray ma- terials to Commonwealth rearma- , | ment programs. : But, he warned in an interview, the world shortage in metals, newsprint and other materials is still far from over. In pl g supplies to Britain and other members of the Com- monwealth Canada cannot over- look the requirements of other traditional customers, including the United States. There must be a sharing of sup- plies in accordance with the tra- ditional pattern of Canada's inter- national trade, Mr. Howe believed. Nevertheless, it will be in a "spirit of cooperation' that he and a departmental adviser, T. N. Beaupre, 34, of Montreal, will at- tend a Commonwealth supply ministers' conferegce to be held in London Sept. 24. : . The conference, called by Bri- tain, will concentrate on the pos- sible development of new industry and new production, mainly in Bri- tish colonies, and the expansion of Commonwealth markets for manu- factured goods. The 30-minute interview » with Mr. Howe ranged from price changes to international systems of allocating scarce materials. CONTINUED SCARCITY Mr, Howe made these points: 1. It will be a long time before the world shortage in nickel, cop- per, lead, zine and newsprint will be overcome. Canada, however, hoped to overcome a steel shortage by 1953. 2. Though Canada, in effect, sets the world price on nickel and newsprint because she is the world's biggest and main pro- ducer, she was not anxious to see big price rises in these items. Mr. Ho = found that when an item rose exceedingly high, the ensuing drop eliminated the benefit of the climb. 3 Despite the sharp climb-in Ca- nada's commodity trade deficit, from $5 million for the first half of 1950 to $340 million for the first half of 1951, Canada's economic health was "better than ever." No import controls would be imposed because of the deficit. In the over- all balance of trade, including the movement of capital, Canada had "more American dollars than ever." 4. The big increase in American goods from $1,004,500,000 in the first half of 1950 to $1,471,900,000 in the first half of 1951 was mainly due to a '"'capital boom" in Canada. INTERNATIONAL BODY Touching again on the problem of scarce materials, Mr. Howe felt that one way Britain and other countries might be helped would be through reconstitution of an inter- national allocating body. The current International Ma- terials Conference, - he. believed, had "doubtful value" because of the fact that it included too many countries. The conference, located in Washington, sometimes had as many 'as a dozen' countries re- presented on its sub-committees. The conference was slow in reaching 'decisions and making firm decisions on international dis~ tribubon of scarce materials. More efficient, said Mr, Howe, 'would be a revival of the old Second World War tripartite allocating committee, made up of represen- tatives of Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. This would 'speed up' allo- cations and get the materials mov- ing into the industries urgently re- quiring them for war production, JOE PALOOKA Si Tl SEND TELEGRAMS TO NAME ALL TH' DISTRIBUTORS ALL OVER TH' COUNTRY... * STOP SALE OF RESTORHAIR, SOME - THIN' WENT WRONG...
