Largest single grain sale ever negotiated by Canada was signed this week with
China. The massive sale is for $362 million and will keep B.C.’s ports humming for

nessmen to go to China im-}
mediately to explore trade in|
other products. He indicated’
the Chinese were interested in|
many other purchases in Can-!

government has finally begun
to realize what most Cana-
dians have been saying for

some years: that the Chinese’

market offers unlimited pos-
sibilities for expanded trade
with Canada.

B.C.’s most important cus-
tomers for forest products, can
be opened up again.

Before World War II and
the coldwar annual shipments
to China fluctuated between
40-50 million board feet, and
reached a peak of 130 million
feet in 1933. Now, with the
greatest industrial revolution
known to man taking place in
this huge country, the demand
for lumber is enormous.

Bloedel & Powell River stated
that it had received a come.
