Coming just a month after completion of a deal with Pe- king to sell China from 168 to 280 million bushels during the same three years, the Russian trade agreement assures Canadi- an farmers of a ready export market. The Russian deal,' announced with great fanfare in Moscow by Trade Minister Robert Winters after protracted negotiation by trade department and Wheat Board emissaries, will have oth- er far-reaching effects. Aside from. stimulating con- sumer buying on the farm, the sale is good news for farm ma- chinery manufacturers. The sales will strengthen Canada's foreign exchange position, re- ducing Canadian dependence on the U.S. money market. The sale will also have inter- national repercussions. In_ the long run, the most important of these will be to encourage? Washington to liberalize its trade policies with Communist nations. The New York Times has already berated the Ameri- can government. 'The chances to build bridges with the Rus- sians should not be fumbled again," the Times declared. In the short run, the sales to China and Russia will push in- ternational wheat stocks to a low level. Crop failures in Rus- sia, Argentina, India and Aus- tralia will ensure a ready mar- ket for U.S. grain. U.S. and Can- ada had a carry-over of only abou: 550 million bushels each at the July 1 crop year-end. The policy of wheat sales to Communist nations, particularly China, was initiated by the Con- servative government shortly after John Diefenbaker came to power. Faced with tremendous wheat surpluses, Mr. Diefenbak- er may have initially undertaken the sales as a political strategy to maintain his popularity with far from sympathetic to large scale attempts to trade with Communist states. For one rea- son, the U.S.-is far less depen- dent on exports for prosperity than is Canada. Its domestic market is 10 times bigger than Canada's. The U.S. also was far more infected by the Cold War virus than Canada, and its cur- rent involvement in Vietnam makes it difficult for Washing- ton to undertake an objective appraisal of the problem at this time. Those who oppose trade with the Communists do so. on the grounds that it strengthens n1- tions dedicated to the destruc- tion of, our way of life, and that it makes us dependent on Mos- cow and Peking for our prosper- ity. These grossly over-simplified arguments overlook the fact that vested interests work both ways. If the above arguments were valid, it could also be argued that for Russia and Chi- na to buy wheat from Canada makes them dependent on us, and strengthens the economy of Canada, a nation they consider to be an adversary of theirs. There is a little truth in both points of view. The only logical alternative to the present open-minded trade policy Canada is following would be to cut off all relations with the Communist nations, not just in trade, but in every other field as well. The consequences of such a policy would inevitably lead to a complete breakdown of interna- tional affairs, growing suspicion and hate, and ultimately, war. Foreign policy has historically been influenced by trade policy, and wars have most often oc- curred when nations have felt 'the need to resort to armed force to secure greater trading rights. The current wheat deals must be applauded because they have the opposite effect. Mrs .Georges Legault and son David of Mon treal are visiting Mr.and Mrs.J.D.Bryson and Mr.and Mrs.Jack Bryson.
