...departments in TIME in order to call our readers' attention to its growing significance. Now the editors have decided to combine Canada and Latin America into a single new department, the better to report the news of their increasingly collective actions. In the last ten years, for instance, trade between Canada and Latin America has increased 1,000%. Whereas Canada's trade with Latin America was one-half of 1% of her total foreign commerce before the war, by 1946 it had jumped to 5.1%, and it is still growing. At present, Canada's largest single overseas...
...Bureau of the Census announced that employment had fallen off by 700,000 jobs since December, and that another 2,000,000 people were working less than full time. Actually, this sounded worse than it was. January employment is always less than December's, when the Christmas trade is glowing; 351,000 more were in jobs than were working in January 1948. Wholesale food prices were also dropping sharply-the Dun & Bradstreet wholesale food price index was the lowest since...
...Florida's Keys, their running lights doused, their engines throttled down to a throaty chuckle. Among the trees a car waited, ready to whisk the refugees northward through Miami. The smugglers' boats are mostly goletas-small, dirty fishing smacks and schooners used in the coconut and banana trade.

His first employer, a rich Chilean rancher, sent him north to study animal husbandry at the University of California. Susaeta wrote his boss what he learned about milk-rich Holsteins, convinced him that milk could be as profitable as the beef on which Latinos concentrated. Returning with a B.S. in 1917, Susaeta brought several head along with him. He later stocked a ranch of his own with los Holsteinos, began promoting them far & wide. Ultimately he gave...
Lucky Girls. The chief worry of Joint Directors Reich and Loebbert is providing the tough, worldly-wise adolescents who come to Adelheide with some skill or trade with which to make their way in postwar Germany. Every week, from 20 to 30 young wanderers turn up there-boys like 17-year-old, shock-haired Karl Waldhauser, who had been drafted to work in a Russian-zone uranium mine. After three days on a pneumatic drill, Karl escaped and crossed the border at night. Says he: "I never get homesick. Maybe that's because my father and mother are dead...
