The longer Canada continues borrowing abroad to finance over. spending at home, he said bluntly "the more difficult and painful will be the readjustments which will in time be forced upon us." DEFICITS GROWING Mr, Coyne rang the alarm bells over this. country's huge and growing current deficits in international payments -- a total $5,335,000,000 in the last four years, and a record $1,460,000,000 last year. This resulted, he said, from "the attempt to accomplish too much too fast." It has gone 'hand-in-hand with a growing degree of foreign pre- domi in Canadian busi as foreign capital and loans flowed in to finance the deficits. 'We now are launched on an- other year with the prospective excess of total spending over production being greater than ever, presumably to be matched by an equivalent excess of im- ports which will have to be fi- nanced by foreign resources in one form or another, must be to weaken the ability of the Canadian economy to meet the difficulties of the next reces- sion to come upon us from make more lk des sion arising from excesses and structural strains within our ewn economy. . . J' SUGGESTS SOLUTION The central bank governor wrote this prescription: 'A more moderate approach to economic development," greater diversification of production, and over-borrowing. These 'have never been so essential to the continued growth and stability of the Canadian economy." There was no reason Canada could not make great progress without using savings of foreign- ers to finance capital and con- sumer spending. 'We can achieve, by our own efforts without foreign aid, a sub- stantial increase every year in our productive capacity and standard of living." "The cumulative effect . , . af avoidance of over - spending and . JAMES E, COYNE Mr. Coyne's 82-page report also suggested that governments should use special measures-- rather than broad monetary and fiscal policies--to deal with a broad range of problems.

At the end of 1959, the banks were in a position to expand moderately their commercial loans or other assets 'on a pru. dent and selective basis, when 'The y for p ing action to deal with these prob- lems in good times as well as in recessions has tended to be over- looked, and the possible value of general measures such as mone- tary expansion and deficit spend- ing have been ded, particularly in relation te customers unable to obtain neces. sary financing from other sources."

'Indeed, when general eco- nomic activity is relatively high . + general measures of mon- etary expansion and deficit spending may contribute more to an increase of imports, and there. fore to an increase in production and employment outside Canada, than to an increase in production and employment inside Canada."

Mellors said: "There is a lounge for exhibitors and their friends to buy liquor, It's just like a club with 20 or 30 tables and chairs." Kelly said a banquet licence was issued by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario in his name for the exhibitors lounge each day. 'This is nothing new, it has been done for the past 12 years for all shows held at the CNE grounds," said Mr, Kelly, Attorney-general Robert said it would appear 'to be legal if a banquet licence was issued.
