RUSSHLL - CARRUTHERS Few dispute that our prosperity is based on our production of goods and services which, it is estimated, will be more than twelve billion dol- lars this yeaar - higher than the peak of' war-time ppoduiotjion. Our debts to other countries are 35 Tc lower than before the war and in 1946 our sales to the world were greater than our pundhases. Can this high level of production and sales - which means a higih level of employment be maintained. Informed obsei-vers claim that Canadian purchasing pow- er and a large part of riie big e.x- pansion of industry can continue only if our sales to other countries is maintained. If this is correct it is clear that Che interest Canadians have been taking in the Moscow con- ference of foreign ministers and in Geneva conference on international trade is overwhelmingly justified evten on the bases of our own self inerest, because without a settlement of the European problem and an aarreement to lower all barriers to trade, the basis of our pr'esent pros- perity will be substantially reduced. At a sipecial meeting of Uie Wo- men's Institute, held at the home o# Mrs. Cecil McKsamie, it was decided to sei-ve a hot dinner on tile Mootfaiy of 04d Home Week.
