in recent years, Liberal Leader | Lester B: Pearson said Monday | }at a press conference. The huge trade imbalance, he} said, is being financed substan- tially by an inflow of ‘‘hot money,” capital coming into Can-.

This kind of capital inflow, he said, could be withdrawn ai. any time, thus putting the economy in @ vulmerab'’e pésition.
