The Seaforth News, 1926-11-11, Page 7CANADIAN EXPORT TRADE INCREASING COMMERCE BECOMING IOIE.' AN ie; MORE INTERNATIONAL. Greater Production Essential in Order That Margin 'of Supply May be Sufficiently Wide. An interesting review of the expan- sion of Canadian export trade ie the Tose-war period was a'eaently made by W. MeL, Clarke, direet0r of tI(e Com- mercial Tnteldigenee Service, ` svho points out that through the entual value ' of exports, for the last fiscal year did not beach that of the record 1918 period, when price levels are eon- sidered, the volume far the pant your was egnsiderably higher oa(1 estabiislr- e<l a record. The vain of experts for the year amounted to ,$1,328,000,000, or $25.8,000,000 hese than the record year of 1918. ' The unprecedented expansion of Canadian export. trade during the war yenta: was natural. The amazing fea- ture. has been that the slump period, which• was the aftermath of the. war, )as been so rapidly overcame. Can ada% position has become consols- dated,in a surprleinglyshort space of .time and an adverse, trade balance of $30,000,000 in 1921 converted into a present favorable balance of a401,000,- 000. 401;000;000. '• '.Chis 'position hal not been ar- rived at by cutting down foreign ptir- chases for impoi+ts in the last fiscal year' were $130,000,600- there than in the previous year, but by a still larger lnot+ease in foreign sales. Pixaeits have continued to outrun imports. Increasing Foreign Ramifications. In connection with Ibis it 1n- tsresting to note the following points. (1) --That the .export trade of Canada is the sixth largest• among the nations of the world, being;surpassed Only by the . United States, Greet Britain, Prance, Ger inany aced British India. (2) That in proportionate gain since 1913 Canada's export., trade amide the world by - 'a very wide 'Markin.' (3) That In• export trade per 'capita Can ada has'maved from seem -eat place in 1913 to ceccatl place intereatlonaiiy.in 1926:" (4), And that the phaideii ex- pension said volume, - of Canadian- ex- port trade is equally remarkable with the alhprerciable • general innreaes In value: • ' One of the most striking features of Canada's export 'trade within recent yeanaafatrabeeta Its increasing foreign ranftilrations, the' feet that Canadian expoiliars are g6ing fus'thar at1•ead year after Year in ti?slr search for itew mar kete.

Production and the cost of pro- - eluding, rather than marketing, will fnndainentally determine the fiow of Canadian foreign trade. In addition to the increases of eat - ports to Empire countries In the past year ,some notable increments, are ate. paa+ent in the ease of foreign court, tries.
