Embargo Would Cost £2,000,000

An embargo on the shipment to Japan of goods which could be used for war purposes would cost Can- adian trade more than £2.000.000, it is calculated by experts in Ottawa.

At the present time; the balance of trade between Canada and Japan runs very strongly in favour of the Dominion. While Canada buys to the value of only about £1,000,000. she sells. well over four times as much, and a ban would result in thèse exports being halved.

The Alberta Législature has asked the Federal Government to stop export of "all things destined to aid Japan in its ruthless attack upon the peace-loving Chinese," and similar appeaer, organisations appeals have been made from several other organisations in

Recent exports from Canada to Japan have shown a marked in- crease in metals, Nickel sales for

the twelve months ended last March amounted to £400,000. more than three times the amount for the previous year: Lead shipments worth £800,000 were double those of the preceding Ascal year while deliveries of scrap iron were nearly doubled. The export of zine also showed a sharp rise. Canada sells Japan, too a lot of four.

Canada's purchases from Japan have been on the up-grade. They include China and other clay products. silk, artificial silk, oranges, tea "and rice..
