Zealand, South Africa, France, India and Bene- lux reached agreements With the Unit- ed States; Benelux with Brazil, Czech- oslovakia, France, India, New Zealand and Britain; Australia with Benelux, China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, and New Zealand; France with India, New Zea- land and Britain; and India. with New Zealand and Britain. With this done the trade talks shift to the broader field represented by the ITO meeting at Havana on Nov. 18 to which all trading nations of the world have been invited. 4, * * NATIONAL INCOME $9.4 BILLION Gross national income for 1946 is estimated at $9,464,000,000 the Domjn- ion Bureau of Statistics reported re.. cently. This is more than double the 1$3,972,000,000 gross national income in 1938. The bureau also reported that the latest estimate of the Dominion's "gross national product" the market value of all goods and services pro- duced in the country during the year- is $11,417,000,000. This compares very favorably with the figure of $5,141,000,- 000 for 1938. The national expenditure also corresponds to the gross national product. Net income of agriculture and other unincorporated business was $2,151,- 000,000, Salaries, wages and supple- mentary labor income amounted to $5,113,000,000. Investment income was $1,885,000,000 and corporate prof- its before taxes and dividends to non- residents were 61,174,000,000. Expen- ditures on consumer goods and services were 07,495,000,000. Government ex- penditure was $1,883,000,000. Person- al income increased from $4,031,000,- 000 in 1938 to $9,383,000,000 last year. * * SUMMER WEATHER IN OCTOBER October was a record - 'breaking month in many ways. The weather was almost as warm as the best of summer weather without any of the excessive heat or high humidity to mar the pleasant days. The shortened days, were bright with plenty of health-giv- ing sunlight and the lengthened nights were cool for easy sleeping. And all 'nature was made ever more beautiful iby the changing colors of leaves and lather vegetation. It was a wonderful month! Never since the custom of keeping weather records began-and that was 1 105 years ago-has there been as warm an October 27 as this year, when the mercury soared to 71 and the sky was clear, and there were many similar days during the month. A kind Provi- dence wonderfully blessed us with a 'bounteous nature this past summer and so far this fall which has made amends for the cold, wet, backward spring we had this year. Many of our bird- 'friends are still here and that may closed recently in the final instalment of captured German war documents dealing with "The Enehrer Conferen- ces on Naval Affairs," released by the Admiralty. • .13isigarck, newly .completed and accompanied by the new heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen ,waa rirst. "picked up" by the British. cruiser Nerfolls, on patrol with RMS Suffock, at the fee Border, in the Iceland 'Straits, when the 'Ger- man .vessels were seeking to make three months' sortie in the Atlantic to prey on the Allied shipping. The part played by radar is vividly illustrated in the German report, which says; "The encounter with an enemy cruis- er in the Denmark Straits to a certain extent campe as a surprise to the fleet commander (Admiral Gunther Leut- jens, flying his flag on the Bistuark). But .what was most surprising and of decisive importance for the further course of the operation, was the pro- bability, established for the first time, that the enemy possessed evidently ex- cellent-functioning radar equipment. "This' eliminated entirely the advan- tage of poor visibility for the break- through, and prevented a swift escape from the enemy. The enemy succeed- ed, obviously by the use of efficient radar sets, in maintaining contact in spite of very poor visibility." • * * * WEEKLY THOUGHT Thoughts may lie classified as friends and enemies. Charitable, in- spiring, uplifting thoughts are our friends, and discordant, malicious, life- destroying thoughts are our enemies. * * KNOW WINGHAM' Hats off this week to the Wingham Bantam Softball Club players, coaches, manager and executive, for their .great achievement in winning the Champion- ship of their class in the W.O.A,A..
