Montréal, Oct. 12. The Dominion of Canada's 10,- 000,000 people are watching al- most to a man the great NRA ox- periment that is transforming their southern neighbour; watch- ing closely, because its effects in Canada are already being felt and may be felt increasingly as the programme unfolds,
Canadians are already paying higher prices for many commodi- ties, coal, gasoline, milk, bread.

Certain labour troubles develop- ing here are blamed on the "new deal" labour in the States,

NRA Boosts Trade 凸
But already effects of the NRA are plainly to be seen in Canada. It has very definitely stimulated Canadian business. The increased buying in the States has reflected itself in purchases of Canadian goods.
Canada's sales to her southern neighbour were 43 per cent higher In July than in July, 1982, larger indeed than at any period since December, 1981.
Canada's exports to the United States reached their lowest point in April, $8,382,000. Compare this with $17,843,000 in July, and one affect of the NRA becomes evident.
The other side of the shield was brighter, too American manufac- turors were able also to sell more to Canada. Imports of fibres, tex- tiles and their products increased from $1,455,000 a year to $22,289,- 000.
