ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAVY, TUNE llth, 1970 Report From Ottawa Ruse.ll C. Honley, Q.C.M.P. iNortiiuîî-iberland -Durhqi The release of the Canadian dollar from its pegged position of 921e ilu'relation to the U.S. clos- lar was a necessary step. The inereasing upward pres- sure on the Canladian dollar is ev- ïGeroce of the strength of our onomy. For this we can be grate- fui. On the other hand the in- crease in valut of thc Canadian dollar will mean higher prices for Canadian goods sold in foreigu markets. This will ýhurt our ex- port trade. On the brighter side, for consumers, the price of foreign goods sold in Canada will be Iowcr. Financicrs, traders anid specu- lators in the international money markets watch thc stat' of the eeonomy of eaeh country because the strength of the eurreney of the particdilar country Ji related dir- ectlu tp the strength of its econ- omy. As an example, let us take the mythical country of Lower Sloh- bovhï the creation of eartoonist AI Capp, which is, you wili recal, a land of snow and ice . . . no fertile land, no industry, no prop,- envy constituted goverument. The rasbuckniks of that mythical cour.ýry is not a'currency sought aifter by pulichases of foreign ex- change. On the other hand. a cou'.try such as Canada has a cur- rency that is baeked by all the resourees of this great nation. There is no question about the strength of our Canadian ceurren- cy. It is a question of relative strength. Our currency is now quite strong because our economy is strong. We had a budgetary surplus last year and ar~e forecast- ing one this year. Our financial hQuse is in good order. In these circumstances, and with Oxford B1IJCKLAYERS STONEMASONS WILLIE J.

It iworks this way. Speculators knowing that the, Canadian econ- om37 i. in good shape and ourir a- - f îa ý1'ýil- ai, affairs ln miod order parchase Canadian dollars o lîold -hem in the hope that ai some time the Canadian dalials wLiid he' revaiued and they would, thus make a profit. For ex- ample, the speculator who huys $1.000,00l0. Canadian àt 92%~c Amn- enican would make $75,000. if hie sold when the Canadian dollar was at par with the U.S. dollar. In recent months there was an increasing demand for Canadian dollars by foreign purchasers. They palid for it in foreign cur- rency. Foreign currency was pour- ing in and Canadian currency flowing out. The governiment's cash position was in jeopardy. In the last five nonths the net in- creuse in Amenican dollars in Canada rose by $1,200,000,000. If Canada had not unpegged the dollar it would have encouraged an increasing amount of speculat- ive buiying and consequent wind- fali profits for speculators. This is the exact situation which arose in West Germrany a few months ago. Because of the stren- gth of the German economy there was a strong demand for the Ger- man mark. The mark was valued upward to bring it into a realist- le position. We have had to do the samne in Canada. The West German and Canadian ce ononùies to-day are two of the strongest in the world.
