The year just passed is marked} as one of great economic activity. rigged 1151668, which have carried lhe dollar value of our production 1° unprecedented peaks, have giv- en. us the illusion of a prosperity wnichls more apparent than real. When we consider the physical volume of our production in i948,

we find that the advance of around 12 percent over 1947 which was achieved, ‘is for the

most part attributable to the rise in prices. As a matter of fact, the main industries, either because they had already reached their ruu productive capacity or be- cause of shortage of raw materials q; man power, were unable to sat- sfy all demands. As a result of ibis situation and because of the inherent problems of business and industrial relations, the rise in prices continued. Nevertheless, sf) rcr an tiiiintcrrupted rise over a period of 2i months, the cost of .ving index seemed to be stabiliz- nd, at ‘thi- close of the year, at me peak it had reached.

Our capital investments, includ- ng residential construction, reach- m the unprecedented figure of ." iiiilion dollars, or ‘.55 per csztt r-tcr i947. This enormous expan- sioll, important from the point of v.e\\' of our future development hut undertaken s1 a time when costs of materials. equipment and iibour “are at peak levels. has to .- nie extent mortgaged the fuiure and caused some lack of balance

Seeing that business ‘activity in

this cvwurr mlsht not b, main- tained at present levels. prudence demands that new developments should only be undertaken with the greatest caution, This is es. iwclally true where the margin of profit is very small. Everyone should carefully examine their 0p- efltirls costs and cut them down "Tm-PW" possible. because a less- "11118 in demand could very eas- lll! restrain their operations.

It is noteworthy also that, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of failures in 104B, as well as s. considerable expan- sion of consumer credit in the form,of personal loans and in- stalment saies. At the same time a lcss firm demand is apparent in more than one line. Generally Hlfiflldfls. consumers’ needs have hi9" lIPQ-"lns off and supply is itradually meeting demand. To- day we can detect signs that. if nothing happens to interfere with the course of business. we shall shortly return io a normal com- petitive system. Businessmen should watch their inventories more carefully so as not to be embarrassed in the event of a. falling off in sales. Notable among the many highlights of the past year has been a lessening of industrial disputes and s. consider- able effort toward solution of the housing problem.

Canada’: Lumberingwl Science Designs Seed Box T O Start Plants In Home

Industry Arouseil By Washington Charges

By GEORGE KINHEN‘

Q

OTTAWA, Jan. 14—(CP)-Siwing- ing a. lusty‘, verbal axe, Canada's lumbering industry today reduced to pulp Washington charges that loggers in Quebec have forsaken the woods and are taking it easy at home living of! the baby bonus.

And when the lumbermen had got through with what they term- ed the "Washington pipe-dream," a. few Government spokesmen stepped into tine fray to help sweep away the pieces.

The chips really flew in this Capital today when Government and lumbering officials read a Washington dispatch quoting a United States Government ofiic- ial as placing the blame for high U. S. rayon prices on loggers in Quebec Province.

The official was Dr. G. E. Hil- bert, chief of the U. S. Agricuitiue Department's Industrial Chemistry Bureau.

He told a congressional sub- committee that the Quebecerswlio farm in the summer and cut. wood in the winter, have abandoned logging because they can “make more money-via the family al- lowance payments-by staying at home.

The (iaiiridian Liimbermeiis As- sociation. representing 1,100 luin- boring firms, sprang to the dc- fence of its men with the state- ment that “by and large they are pretty decent Canadian citizens" who wouldn't stoop to living oil a bonus biovidcd for their children.

R. M. l-‘otvier. president of the‘

Flinzlgllfllll Association of Canada. termed ihc Washington report "absurd" With this statement:

"Last year's woodcut in Canada was the largest in history; more than Canadian industry could pro- cess. Our exports to the U. S. ex- ceeded all previous shipments and we are confident that all their demands were met."
