EMERGENCY as smell! ANADA is heavily ‘‘in the red" in present trading with the U.S. dollar area. In our total trade with the world we are in a good position but not in that part which is done with U.S. dollar countries. Other countries with whom we do business cannot pay us in full, either in cash or in goods, for the things they buy from us. This situation is made more serious than ever before because so many countries, our regular customers, have not recovered from the war. It may be some time yet before they get on their feet sufficiently to help put things right. Meantime, we must find ways and means of balancing our own books and reducing our U.S. dollar deficit. There are two things we can do at the moment...cut down unnecessary purchases from the U.S. dollar area and increase our production of goods that can be sold to those countries to balance accounts. It’s an emergency and should be treated as such.
