\ 12 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, December 29, 1958 Howe Sees Levelling Off Of Trade In Next Year OTTAWA (CP)--Trade Minister Howe today predicted another gen- erally prosperous year for Canada -in 1954 but estimated that the rate of expansion may drop. "Some industries are encounter- ing difficulties," he said in a 4,000- word year-end review, "and for this reason expansion trends in the Canadian economy the year now ahead may be less pronounced than in the last three years." But Sapital investment--reaching a record $5,600,000,000 in 1953-- would "remain high." The pros- pect for sales in the Canadian market is "firm" and government spending for defence and other pur- poses will likely continue to act as a "stabilizing influence." RECORD PRODUCTION The gross national produce rose to a record $24,200,000,000 during 1953, up from $23,000,000,000 in 1952. Officials are still hopeful of some increase in 1954 but not of the $1,200,000,000 magnitude. Mr. Howe said that there is some recession talk in the United States but that there is nothing in the over-all picture to indicate "any serious interruption in the generally pros perous conditions now prevailing." Even in the U.S. there was no evidence of pre-recession boom which could lead to collapse. There might have to be some 'adjust- ments" in/the U.S. but this should not lead to reduction of Canada's major exports to that country-- Canada's biggest market. As for overseas markets, there had been a '"'considerable" drop in Canadian exports. But the ex- change problem is improving and some 'pick up in sales of basic materials is possible." The excep- tion is wheat. In the face of im- proved world production, 'grain sales are almost certain to fall short of the record shipments achieved in the last two years." A BANNER YEAR Mr. Howe said that 1953 was another period of record economic achievement, Crops again were exception; . The general rise in production was accompan- ied by a further increase in em- ployment. Farm income had de- clined slightly but income gener- ally was higher. But more significant was the rise in living standards. Canadians were able to buy more with each consumer dollar. Consumer prices averaged about one per cent lower this year than last. "In 1952 real per capita con- sumption rose by 2% per cent program has reached its peak shows signs of levellin, FULL-SCALE PRODUCTION production' of other aircraft, ad- vanced plans for production speedy escort vessels: American three-inch, fence production, touched briefly on the 1953 arms program, stating that in terms of new orders the "and off." Most of the key defence facili- ties required now were established. The year's scale production Canadian jet fighter, with the development of a new ver- sion," and cont! ies of the F-86 Sabre hlights included full- of the CF-100 '"'together ued large deliver- ighter. Canada also made a start on of produced equipment for Canada's radar screen and increased output of the 50 - calibre twin naval guns for Canadian and American forces. A significant trend was the de- cline in dependence on American industry for Canadian defence equipment. The Canadian Orenda jet engine replaced the American J-47 engine in the Sabres.
