We. have been told that the pur-
chasing power of the Canadian peo-
ple is greater than ever. That tropical
products will be consumed in ever-
increasing quantities, and the pros-
pecte for Canadian Industries are ex-
ceedingly bright. That according' to
a survey of recent industrial develop-
ment in Canada, no fewer than two
hundred important extensions have
been added during, the lest eighteen
months to existing manufacturing
Plants, and over 100 new factories
have been erected. Canada, therefore,
is an important customer which
palm kernels, palm oil, hides, skins, merits the serious consideration and
quirentents. The products of the
three Colonies were found to attract
much attention and there were many
enquiries. Canada in the past has
imported largely from West Africa,
and the increase in West African
trade has been chiefly accounted for
by the high prices obtained. for West
African cocoa, and the quantity of
xaanganese shipped from the Gold
Coast.
There are a lot of things which
West Africa needs from Canada, and
