Cont. From Page 2 GREAT BRITAIN: China had a favorable balance of about $16 million in trade with Britain for the first six months of this year, exporting some $30 million and _ importing about $14 million. Main ex- ports were animal and vege- table crude materials, hides and furs, wool, cotton woven fabrics, chemicals and tea. In turn China bought iron and steel, non-ferrous base ma- terials, machinery, electric ap- pliances and scientific instru- ments. British industrialists recegnize the vast future, de- spite the present low volume of trade. USSR: Total Sino-Soviet trade showed a big drop in 1961 from 1960; at the same time the Chinese favorable balance increased, due to dras- tie retrenchment in purchases of industrial equipment and complete plants and machin- ery. China imports of petroleum went up sharply, however. China exports in 1961 reached about $600 million, imports were about $400 million. China sold clothing and other made- up textiles, cotton and wool- len piece goods, metal ores and concentrates and non-fer- rous metals. Imports included machinery and industrial equipment, complete plants, petroleum. products and unre- ‘fined sugar. : HONGKONG: Trade for the first six months of this year showed an increase over 1961, with China exporting HK$534,- 933,000 and importing TK$55,- - PENDER LUGGAGE 541 West Pender St. MU 2-1017 a —— ‘Everything in Flowers’ FROM EARL SYKES 56 E.

China bought 255,- 000 tons of Burmese rice in 1961 and another 200,000 tons this year. Exports to Burma included cotton cloth, cement, manufactured goods and ma- chinery. INDONESIA: China buys rubber and exports textiles. In 1961 total trade between the two countries was about U.S. $76 million. This year it will probably reach a higher figure. China has a slight fav- orable trade balance. MALAYA: China sells large quantities of rice, sugar and textiles to Malaya, buys little in return. This lop-sided situa- tion began when China switch- ed purchase of rubber two years ago to Ceylon and Indonesia, and increased barter deals with Socialist countries. * * * This brief resume shows that modern China is producing: many commodities which Can- ada could buy. These goods are on display at this moment in the new exhibition hall in Canton, a fine 10-storey build- ing overlooking the Pearl River. Exhibits include ma- chines, instruments, metals, chemicals, medical equipment, cottons, woollens, silks and linens, Chinese carpets, ivory carvings, jade and semi-prec- ious stone carving and clois- onnes, foodstuffs, tea and many other types of goods. Eleven such fairs have been held in the past six years. Let us hope that Canadian busin- essmen will be well represer- ted at the 12th fair due to be “neld next spring. - TED HARRIS 757 East Hastings St. Vancouver 4, B.C.
