Britain Will Not Make Drive For Tourist Trade
Ottawa reports that Great Britain will not mount a special push for Canadian and American tourists this year. Officials expect about 100000 visitors, about half pre war totals, with grim conditions persisting and scarce goods. Tourists are urged to bring essentials and avoid war damaged centers while avoiding pressure on native supplies. The British aim to revive the trade by next year or the year after, but shipping limits and building priorities constrain hotel and housing repair.
