Bank 0f Montreal Monthly Review

MONTREAL, Feb. 25—Appraislfig Anglo-Catiadlan trade relationships ovcr ilxe long tcrm. the Bank of NiontrcaYs latest Business Review points out that "some highly significant portcnts omcrge from the United Kingdom's recently publish- ed four-year recovery plan.

“This plan, designed to remove the necessity of extraordinary out- side aid by the end of t.he E. R. P. period in mid-l952, involves, in addition to l substantial increase in domestic production. a major alteration of the present pattern of trade with the Western Heml- sphere."

The plan assumes that by tho year ending June 30. i963, Edwin's annual exports to that area as e whole will be 50 per cent greater. and exports to Canada about 25 per cent greater than in 1948, the B of M continues.

"At the same time, a cut of about one-fifth from 1948 levels is envisaged in the United King- dom's import from the Western Hemisphere although no indication is given of the planned reductions

from particular countries in the area, including Canada."

"T0 the extent, however. that the Ullllﬂd Kingdom ls able l0 supply hicrcasing quantities of goods readily salable in the Cuna- dlan market, the less should be the necessity of le to te- strictions inherently diilfléteflll to both peoples." the B of M stresses.

"QVCF the period. however, the position occupied by each coun- "Y in tho trade of the other hi! notably altered," the hank suites. “Thus in 1948 Canada displaced the United States as Britain's largest single supplier. But whereas ship- ments to Britain had constituted 40 per cent of total Canadian ex- ilorta to ell countries in me 1'19 proportion had fallen to only 23 per, cent in 1M8."
