Canadian Sales : Greater To UK. By ALAN DONNELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer | OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's lifelong attachment to the Brit jsh market faces a possible family spat--just when things are rosy for Canadian export: ers. Whether the spat develops de- pends on how far the United Kingdom will go in its evident desire to link up with the pros- perous, alluring Common Mar-| ket across the English Channel. In the meantime, trade ex- perts have been exhorting Canadian producers to sell while' the selling's good. Last year Canadian exports to the U.K. jumped by 16.5 per cent. Sales for the first four months this year were up 12.7 per cent from a year earlier. WIDER VARIETY What's selling? Last year brought substantial gains in the big items--lumber, chemicals, metals and min- erals. But Canadian salesmen of manufactured goods opened up markets for many new products as well. A listing of shipments to Britain showed 611 items last year compared with 505 in 1959. It's likely that Canadian producers will press this year to expand on these new-found opportunities. "Practically anything will find some customers if it is properly presented," Bert Butler, the trade department's top sales- man in Britain, said late last year. What produced this bonanza? For one thing, Britain's moves| in the last couple of years dis- mantling virtually all restric- tions on its imports from dol- lar countries. Officials here think the benefit of this develop- ment hasn't yet been fully ex- ploited. But more than anything, the eause lies in what officials term| an "outburst of prosperity" in Britain last year. The resulting import buying spree by Brit- ons, coupled with a British ex- the new austerity program of the U.K. government. Economists here foresee no significant impact on Canadian exports from U.K. austerity, un- Jess the new British "crisis" in trade and payments spreads into other fields. CONCERN FOR FUTURE The concern, instead, is with) the longer-range issues sur-| rounding the decision the UK.| will be making on whether or| not to seek its fortune in the six-nation European Economic Community. The Canadian government doesn't know yet exactly what the repercussions of such a move would be for Canada. But it has emphatically made clear it doesn't like the looks of the idea. The possible cost: the ending of Commonwealth tariff pref erences and tariff - free entry to Britain for many Canadian goods; the prospect of a turn- around in U.K. tariff preferen- ces against--instead of for-- some Canadian goods; British adoption of the Common Mar- ket's restrictive, protective pol- icy on agricultural products. 4 TALS A ei tetyt X a vero 3 RALLY »a®, y BALE bE IAAL LILLY RAE] per-cent diversion of Canada's import buying from the U.S. to Britain. The idea behind that propo- sal was to lessen Canada's dependence on the U.S. market by providing Britain with dol- lar earnings it could spend in Canada. Officials say that idea has since been outdated by Britain's adoption of converti- bility of its currency and its ending of import restrictions on Canadian goods. Nevertheless, the share of Canada's exports going to Brit- ain increased to 17.1 per cent last year from 14.9 per cent in 1957.. and the proportion of its imports which come from Brit- ain has risen to 10.7 per cent from 9.3. Exports to the UK. rose 16.5 per cent last year to $924,941 000 while imports remained vir- tually steady at $588,929,000. The trade balance in Canada's favor rose to $336,012,000 from $205,698,000 CONSTANT SURPLUS Trade figures since the start of the century show a surplus every year in Canada's trade with Britain. Moreover, until 1942 the U.K. was Canada's big- gest export market except for a 12-year period after 1920. The elasticity of Britain's markets and its industrial boom is shown in last year's export figures. Wheat made up 15 per cent of Canadian shipments to the UK, | and though sales declined 8.6 per cent, wheat remained the leading commodity. The record for the three commodities ranking next in size: aluminum and products, up 16 per cent; copper and products, up 42.5 per cent; nickel, up 47 per cent. News- print sales increased by one- | sixth and lumber exports nearly | doubled. | Government trade promoters have been plugging hard to put more Canadian lumber into port slump, is one reason for | British homes and more Cana-| {dian food products onto British| tables. Both items bulk large in a re- {recent trade department re-| {port listing products "for which sales potential is particularly! promising." Food products on the list range from sardines and frozen peas to cake mixes and maple |syrup. Wood products include] decorative plywood panelling, birch and maple flooring and insulation board. And despite Britain's effl- cient manufacturing industries, the experts say sales prospects are bright for things like cloth-| ing, furnaces, lamps, electronic| equip m e nt, bathroom fittings | and costume jewelry.
