Writes the Toronto Mail and
Empire— “The Dominion Bureau of
Statistics publishes a table showing
‘Net Imports and Domestic Exports
of Thirty-Five Leading Countries of
the World for the Calendar Year
1934 Compared With the Year
1933.’
Thirty-one of the countries listed
showed increases in imports, and
thirty-two increases in exports.
Canada, amongst the thirty-five
chief trading countries of the world
in imports occupied eleventh place in
1933, and ninth in 1934, and in ex
ports, sixth place in 1933, and fifth
place in 193. The countries in 1934
having a larger import trade than
Canada were Belgium-Luxemburg,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom
and the United States; and a larger
export trade. France, Germany, the
United Kingdom and the United
States. .
In percentage of increase amongst
the thirty-five countries Canada oc
cupied eleventh place in both imports
and exports.
Canada, in trade recovery in the
calendar year 1934 compared with
1933, and 1933 compared with 1932,
improved her position amongst the
thirty-five principal commercial
countries of the world.
In comparing trade for different
periods, it is important to bear in
mind that values are not necessarily
a true measure of the quantity or
volume of merchandise involved.
Changes in the nominal values of im
ports and exports over a given
period may be caused by variations
in quantity, fluctuations in price, or
by a combination of these factors. A
preliminary compilation has been
made comparing the value and vol
ume of Canada’s trade for the fiscal
year 1934-35 with that for 1933-34.
The declared values by main
groups are shown in tables for 1933-
34 and 1934-35, together with the
values obtained by re-valuing the
quantities of 1934-35 at the average
import and export prices prevailing
in 1933-34. This eliminates the
element of price fluctuation and per
mits a comparison of the volume of
trade in the two years. The declared
value of imports increased from
$433,799,000 in 1933-34 to $532,431,-
000 in 1934-35. If prices had not
risen from the 1933-34 level, the
value of imports would have increas
ed nevertheless, to $494,247,000, an
increase of $60,448 000, indicating an
expansion in the volume of imports
of 13.9 per cent.
Exports increased substantially
both in value and volume, rising
from $579,343,000 to $650,900,000 in
declared value, and to $630,836,000
after allowance for the element of
rising prices, representing increases
of 13.9 per cent, in value, and 8 9
per cent, in volume. This improve
ment has continued during the pres
ent year.
AU of which provides cumulative
evidence that this Dominion is forg
ing out of the depression both ab
solutely and in comparison with
other countries.

She tried t0 think back over the

as he got older, increased her at

MARRIAGE FOR SPITE
And without a word to her, her
boy had done this. He knew it would
bring her home, too, at once. The
telegram almost seemed to say:
“Well, you shelved me this time, so
I’ll show you.” No, she shrank from

couldn’t be like that.
In her heart she knew it was the
truth. The boy had lost sight of

She had supposed all children par

rents meant nothing to children now
adays. Only a source of supply. And
it had been her fault. They would
be expecting her now by next train.
Suddenly she sat up and threw the
telegram through the rail. She walk

Fake British Employment
Agencies To Be Closed
Fake employment agencies are to
be put out of business in Britain.
The Ministry of Labor is consid
ering establishing a special Labor
Exchange in London which will de
vote its whole attention to finding
domestic employment.
This bureau will serve the double
purpose of finding employment for
girls from the distressed areas, and
checking the activities of agencies
which exploit girls.
There is a certain type of agency
in London which brings girls from
the North-East and from South
Wales on the promise of finding
them domestic employment.
After extracting a fee from the
girls these agencies send them to
situations which the girls cannot
tolerate.
The proposed domestic exchange
charging no fees to either mistress
or maid, will carefully investigate
the bona-fide of all employers.
No need to go to Alaska to be
cool or to Egypt to see the pyramids,
according to Mrs. E. B. Flint, of
London, Ont., who with her husband,
attended the Rotary International
Convention in Mexico City. It’s
never too hot and never too cool
down there and
are almost as
famous ones on
storied Nile.
Mexico, situated 7,500 feet above
sea level, has an even temperature,
never above 78 and never below 60,
the visitors were told. It has re
tained many quaint customs and as
yet has no large stores and few
tourists, owing to the lack of good
motor roads.
In a city of more than 1,000,000
inhabitants there are only two ma
chine laundries, Mrs. Flint Laid, for
the women still adhere to the primi
tive method of washing their clothes
in the streams with a flat rock to
rub on. The fruit and flower mar
kets were a sight.
The pyramids built by the Aztecs
several hundred years ago, were of
great interest, Mrs. Flint said, and
not the least amazing feature was a
primitive but effective shower in
stalled in a niche in the wall. The
delegates had a Mexican dinner in
a restaurant made in a cave below
the pyramids.
The Floating Gardens, where land
is so valuable that no houses are
built on it, was also another place
of interest. It is possible to raise
seven crops of corn a year on this
land, and if a man sells a strip he
merely digs another canal instead of
building a fence to define the boun
dary.
