    "ocrText": "-9-\nCOMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL POLICY\nThe Canadian Government is deeply interested in\nbringing about sound multilateral trade and the recip-\nrocal reduction of tariffs and removal of trade barriers.\nCanada's national income is far more dependent on for-\neign trade (30% in peacetime) than is the United States\nand interest in orderly international economy is cor-\nrespondingly greater. Canada's willingness, as recently\nannounced, to extend to other countries having balance-\nof-payment problems adequate credits to finance their\nimport requirements from Canada is of particular in-\nterest. This offer is directed primarily to the United\nKingdom, for there is serious concern in Canadian Gov-\nernment and trade circles lest the financial difficulties\nwhich the United Kingdom seems likely to face after the\nwar might lead to a drastic curtailment of purchases in\nCanada.\nLord Keynes stopped in Ottawa recently on his way\nto Washington and engaged in informal discussions with\nthe Canadians. It is anticipated that he will return\nto London via Ottawa and then be able to secure agree-\nments with Canada in the light of the Washington con-\nversations.\nthe\nRECORDS ARD\ns\nTO"
