asked the President of the Board of Trade if it is his intention to issue any statement in regard to the prospects of developing trade with Canada as a result of his recent personal visit to that Dominion.

In the final public speech of my Canadian tour given to the Periodical Publishers' Association in Toronto on 30th May, I summarised the main impressions I had gained from my tour. I gave a short talk over the B.B.C. on Friday, 3rd June, and followed this up with a public speech to the Institute of Export on Thursday, 16th June. I am now considering with my colleagues what further steps should be taken to develop our trade with Canada, and will be discussing the matter with the newly-formed Dollar Exports Board. I do not propose, therefore, to make a statement at this stage.
