The first session of the Confer ence was but henceforth the deliberations will be in camera. Canada s official Delegate is Hon. Vincent Massey but l. B.

Formation strongly indicates both the latter govern ments Are finding their task diff both their dependencies Are concerned alike Over production and consumption although the latter consideration politically outweighs the other. Attitude of caution it is evident that Canada s Atti tude will be one of great caution in dealing with the proposition to carve the world by Export quotas into Safe markets for producers and create what in reality would be a world wide sugar Cartel. Canada s representatives Are expected to oppose any decision of the conference that result in higher prices for the Consumers and the proposal to Divide the world into uncompetitive markets is regarded As certain to Lead to higher prices. While it is recognized that the returns received by the producers Are very Low and Over production exists it is argued in Canadian circles that the solution should be sought through a narrower spread Between what the producer receives and the Consumers pay.

The impossibility of preventing air invasions on a Large scale has introduced a totally new Factor up on which the world War and the later ethiopian and Spanish conflicts have thrown no appreciable Light. The drastic policy of secrecy possible under dictatorships is carried to an extent never before known. Dictators control communications and the press so Rig idly that they might even conceal the fact that their countries Are engaged in a War. Another uncertainty is provided by the potential War Power of the fascist nations where the entire country constitutes a great War Power Plant.
