A short. time ago, the U.S. Supreme Court, gave a verdict in favour of a price -cutter and thus the war started , * THERE are the name fair trade agreements in Canada, but there is some doubt at to their legality and whether or, not they would stand up in court, because of a section of the Combines Act which deals with an "agreement or arrangement having or design- ed to have the effect of lessening competition" . .

We had visions of a spring -time Canadian National Exhibition . . • IT was similar, in that 5t was held in several of the larger buildings on the ONE grounds - but if was an international and not a Canadian Fair . . . The exhibits of foreign countries were in the limelight and on the whole Canadian exhibitors were conspicuous by their absence - except for heavy machinery and textiles . . This was something the Canadian authorities regret- ted . One lone manufacturer of modern furniture from New Brunswick exhibited and he went home with a brief case bulging with a year's orders . , . * * FROM a woman's. point of view, the exhibits of Italy, Hol- land, Israel, France and Japan, were the most fascinating , ., The Italian end Japanese exhibit- ed in a most artistic manner . , , The former, which covered space between two aisles, was set off by imitation white marble pil- lars, similar to those of the Ro- man home . .
