World Market Place: Toronto, May 30th to June 10th.
Representatives of the world’s trading organizations from countries as
widely separated as Greece and China, Sweden and Brazil, will converge on
Toronto during the first two weeks of June this year. Three buildings within
the area of the Canadian National Exhibition grounds will be turned into a
world market place where hundreds of businessmen, speaking many different
languages, will display their wares. Here, business deals involving millions
of dollars, pounds, francs, or kroners, will be discussed and sealed. This
market place has as its official title the Canadian International Trade Fair,
and it is sponsored by the Canadian Government for the purpose of stimulating
world trade.
Canada now has a big stake in world prosperity. As a producer nation,
her own prosperity depends upon the ability of nations to trade freely. The
Canadian International Trade Fair has been organized to provide a buying
and selling rendezvous. In the words of Canada’s Minister of the Department
of Trade and Commerce, it is "an actual step towards the opening of new
channels for world trade”.
A fact clearly demonstrated by this Fair is the keen interest in world
trade shown by countries in every continent. From Great Britain will come
automobiles and smokers’ accessories: from France, wines, jewellery and
bicycles; from China will come embroidered silks, hand-carved figurines and
tea; from French Morocco, rugs; from Czechoslovakia, textiles and crystal;
from Brazil will come reptile skins and quebracho, a vegetable used in the
process of tanning; and from the United States will come heavy machinery.
In addition to the exchange of these goods there will also take place at
the Fair a liberal exchange of ideas and information between the world’s
businessmen. It will be this exchange of ideas that will be of immediate
importance to the CBC International Service and its listeners.
Those who are unable to attend the Fair will hear through Canada’s
shortwave voice businessmen from their own country describing the Fair’s
proceedings in their own language direct from the CBC International Service
studio installed in the Coliseum. These reports will be included in the regular
broadcast periods.
