Businessmen in Canada, as in all capitalist countries,
look toward the coming truce in Korea as an opportunity
to begin trade with People’s China on« large scale, thus
ensuring markets for Canadian products. But unless this
country’ shakes off the chains of United States political
and economic domination and asserts its sovereign inde-
pendence, Canadian businessmen are going to be left be-
hind in the scramble for Chinese markets—a scramble that
is already underway in Europe.

A fortnight ago a French businessmen’s mission in
Peking signed a trade agreement with China. The three
biggest iron and steel firms in Japan are already exchang-
ing steel goods for Chinese coal. Britain, which has con-
tinued a minimum trade with China despite U.S. protests,
is’ preparing to up its exports. Poland and Czechoslovakia
have signed new trade agreements with the Peking govern-
ment. : : 4 ‘

A British trade delegation this month signed an $84,
000,000 mutual trade agreement with China’s import and
export corporation.
