that Caitadn might import many commodities from the sterling areas which she now buys from U. S, This would have an offset- ting effect in keeping costs down.

Imports From England

Prince Edward Island as an ex- porter of farm products whicn have already been arranged for with England, on the whole would seem to benefit. Goods imported from England will, in the natural order. cost less. These include English cars. dinner and china- ware, shoes, whiskies and rums. clothini! materials and teXtllt-‘i- These benefits will be tut by the amount the Canadian dollar is de- valued.

Pensioners Affected

A considerable number of people receiving various types of pensions from the United Kingdom will be hard hit. There are also a num- her of people who are brinilln! their Old Country funds to Can- ada as fast as regulations will allow. These funds will be consid- erably reduced unleaa special pro- vision la~ made to accommodate such cases.

Mr. W, R. Jenkins, an importer of English cars. believer that there is little doubt that: Canadians would buy at least four times the number of these cars if their value drops in relation to the pound- such a reduction would place the English 12 h.p. car in direct com- petition with the Canadian made "big three", with the finish and quality of the smaller car weighing heavily in its favor.

Importation of EH81“?! 30"“ machinery has not entered the picture as yet. and would Pfliblb" ]y require some years to becvntc established, Mr. Jcnkina believes.

pevtittttitlnn of the pound will probably reduce prices on dinner- ware and chinnwure. most of which is imported from England. states Mr. B. E. Sellers, manager of the Charlottetown branch of R. 'I‘. Hoi- man's, Ltd. He believes that the favourable exchanze Wlih Eflltllmd may encourage tho development of a few new lines such as tools and new chinaware.

exchange adjustments abroad will tend to result in an increase in the total value of our imports." Canada, he said. stood ready to co-operate with the efforts of ov- erseas countries to expand sales to Canada. but this country could not import from the British sour- ces "without going into deficit in our international accounts.“ “In these circumstances Government has decided to ad- just the exchange value of the Canadian dollar to the "extent. considered necessary."

The new established rate is the same that existed in relation to the U. S. dollar during the period 1939-46. At that time the British pound was quoted in Canada a‘. about $4.50.

Mr. Abbott indicated that the

devaluation of the Canadian dollar might have been a lot more but for the strong Canadian “basic position." “Our exports have been and will continue to be competitive. Our production is efficient and our costs are relatively low," he said. “Because of these underlying factors the Government has felt that an adjustment of 10 per cent is appropriate."

May Aid Tourist Trade

Devaluation of the Canadian dollar in relation to the U. S. cur- rency is expected to help the Canadian tourist industry, since the travelling American will get more for his American dollar in Canada than at any time since 1946.

It will hit the Canadian im- porter of U. S. merchandise. He will have to provide more Can- adian funds for his American im- ports than ail any time during the last three years.

Mr. Abbott noted that foreign- exchange policy was a major fac- tor in the affairs of Canada. He recalled the heavy loss in foreign- exchange reserves during i947 "owing to the inability of out‘ customers in Europe to pay for a large part of their imports from usn

The dollar-saving measures tak- en then were highly successful. Mr. Abbott said. However. at the beginning of 1940 it became clear that rising imports from the U.S. and the “worsening world dollar situation" would result "in a sharp reduction in our current account surplus.” '

“The current account surplus in our balance of payments has in fact been declining. It now is esti- mated that for the year as a whole. it will in any case be very small." "Consequently any developmlfl" which tend to bring about a re- duction in the total value of our exports or an increase in our im- ports is likely to create a deficit in our international accounts. “Such a deficit would result in a loss of exchange reserves."

Prices in tailor made euita, it was thought, would not change until at least next spring. It was explained that th winter's supply of cloth had aire dy been bought from England.

Local ahos prices would not be affected materially. aa only a amall quantity of English brand aheea were imported. The opinion was expressed that the lowering of the value of the pound might bring a greater quantity of English shoes

on the market.

Scout Cotincil Seeks Support For Movement

Members of the Provincial Coun- cil of the Boy Scouts Association are presently engaged in an 1n. terim tidying-up collection to help mcct expenses up to the end of De- cember this rear. it was made known last night. _

The Council, Major N, W, Lowther. challman of the Financial Committee pointed out. had not entered upon a campaign since 1946. Nor did it intend doing so until the National Campaign in February of 1950. However due to the expansion of the Scout movement and the need for a full time field man funds were required to tide the organi- zation over the next three months.

It. was deemed best to conduct. a quiet collection at the present time and then line-up with the other provinces in the full scale National

Campaign to be launched early next year. ‘Recognizing the value of the

movement in the training of youth through volunteer leaders, and the splendid role it plays in the community it is felt the Council members would meet with gympa. thetic response in their interim coi- lecticn efforts.
