The Ottawa Herald notes that November deficit to foreign trade stood at 227 million dollars, down from October’s 821 million. Analysts say the yearly deficit may reach about 2 billion. The piece attributes this to Nixon’s price freeze, surcharge, dollar realignment, and new trade talks, with signs the program is taking effect.
The piece argues that price and quality declines stem from taxes and costs, noting American mass production no longer leads globally. It cites higher taxes, labor costs, and profit demands as price pressure, warns recovery requires time and cooperation, and praises the President for curbing government military spending.
Last week a city cost of living council exemption on economic controls led to the Postal Service announcing a 23 percent rise in third class mail rates. Effective Jan 24, large third class mailers fear protest as postage costs eat a greater share of total mailing expense.

Newspapers welcome the change but warn higher rates may push funds to first and second class.

AP reports Hawaii Five O on CBS delivered a surprising lighter note with guest star Hume Cronyn as a master of disguise outwitting Steve McGarrett amid a $4 million caper.

Glen Campbell’s program also faced audience drift as holiday sentiment took center stage with family themes.
Washington AP reports the 1970 census, a one day snapshot, still in progress as state and local governments await block data to redraw districts. Bureau officials note delays in printing and data delivery amid a six-count census program and constitutional demands for equal representation.
Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz, in office under a month, says 1971 will be a record year for farmers.
