He broke a bone in sORONTO (CP) =~ Improving economic trends of 1961 can be expected to continue into and probably through 1962, A. J. Milner, president of the Invest- ment Dealers' Association of Canada, says in a year - end statement. "Continuance of a serious un- employment problem, combined with the likelihood of a federal election, suggest that monetary policy may continue to be ex- pansionary and that the empha- sis on fiscal policy will be on the expenditure side. "These policies should. rein- force economic trends and en- gender a growth of five to six per cent in the Gross National Product next year" (compared with this year's estimated growth of about two per cent). M1. Milner, president of Mills, Spence and Co. Ltd., said the rapidly increasing concentration of population in the 10-to-19-year age group suggests that con- sumer spending will be of grow- ing importance over the next few years. But as most houses were purchased by the 25-to-49- year group housing would not likeiy be dynamic in the period immediately ahead. INTLREST RATES UP "Capital spending by industry and government during the last few years has been approxi- mately constant, Improving con- ditions in 1962 could induce a modest increase. "Demand for funds by indus- try and government in Canada, superimposed on the likelihood of aigher interest rates in the United States, suggest a firming tendency is likely to occur in our interest rate structure as 1962 progresses." Canada continues to maintain a good relationship with foreign invesiors and to provide a sound ment, Mr. Milner said. "Many expressions containing nationdlistic overtones, together with the British Columbia gov- ernment's expropriation of the B.° Electric Company wihou arbitration, have shaken but not shattered f or ei gn confidence.

"The reduced value of the dol- lar is already tending to in- crease exports and reduce im- ports. The interest-rate policy, assisted by a rapidly expanding moncy supply, has reduced the spread between Canadian and U §. interest rates and thereby tended to discourage foreign in- vesting in Canada. These poli- cies, if they can be maintained, can greatly assist Canada in making the required adjust- ments.'" vn Britain's proposed entry into the European Common Market, Mr. Milner said that in the long run a stronger, grow- ing Europe should provide an exjyanding market for Canada's resources, but in the short run "there seems little doubt that if Britain enters the market se- rioug additional problems will have to be faced by many Cana- dian authorities."
