C. PILLEY, City Clerk North Bay, August 11, 1945. PACIFIC PEACE WOULD EASE BANS Some Immediate Relaxation of Wartime Curbs Would Follow Jap Surrender; Meat Rationing Stands Ottawa, Aug. comes--will bring have awaited for beginning of the which geared the Government that while there revoking of some wholesale lifting certain lines, the U.N.R.R.A. and in Europe were 11- The surrender of Japan when it not only the complete peace Canadians almost six long years but will mean the end for most of the economic restrictions dominion for war.

Continuing shortages in need for food overseas, commitments for requirements of Canada's occupation troops considerations in the economic picture. Post-War Picture Here is the way the immediate post-war picture lined up: 1. Canada will still have meat rationing early next month. 2.

An immediate easing or perhaps even lifting of gasoline restrictions expected, 3. Probable increased supplies of certain liquors and 4. No immediate change in the rent, wage or' foreign exchange control regulations. It is estimated meatless days alone are saving 1,000,000 pounds of meat a week. But figures issued by the dominion bureau of statistics showed the meat picture anything but bright at present.

Stocks of all meat in the dominion on August 1 this year totalled 48,505,459 pounds, compared with 57,644,058 a month ago and 88,989,186 pounds at the same period last year. There is still the very serious consideration of supply of materials and labor to be met before Canada can go all out in building homes and post-war projects and in manufacturing the goods Canadians only remember from 1939. Only this week the labor department issued a statement saying a dominion-wide labor shortage was prevalent and showed no signs of easing.
