| GAS HEATING USSR offers Canada favorable trade deal The Soviet Union has offered Canada a “two-for-one” proposal on trade in the latest move in the dragged out negotiations for a new trade pact, Offering to guarantee to. buy $2 worth.of goods for every $1 worth bought by Canada, the Soviet negotiators have made clear that while they want to continue to trade with Canada, they also want to bring the exchange of goods eloser to balance. Trade be- tween the two countries last year was on a 6-1 basis and ‘ for the first eight months’ of this year is running 10-1 with - the balance .in each case in © Canada’s favor. Last year Canada sold $18,- ~- 900,000 worth of goods to the " Soviet Union and bought $3,- * 300,000. For the first eight months of this -year. Canadian sales have been $10,900,000 and purchases for six months are only $676,000. Canada has insisted from the outset of negotiations almost a year ago that it cannot give any guarantee because it can- not control the source of pur- chases by Canadian individuals or firms.
