fairy lake tuhmmmmmm jmmmmtaxiiij the good old days sufljuht sfriu depreciated dollar there was a great deal of nonsense spo ken in the recent election campaign on the subect of canadas dollar in particular many speakers urged that a cheaper dollar abroad should make no difference to the value of the dollar at home price increases they charged would be solely the fault of profitgrasping businessmen a 92 5 cent dollar can help export sales the canadian goods for which the foreign buyer used to pay 1 00 are now offered at 92 5 cents but we must pay for imports with the same dollar and pay an extra 7 5 cents for the foreign goods we used lo get for 1 00 whether he is bringing in ma tarlals machinery or manufactured goods the canadian businessman who has to pay more will have to charge more it is not a matter of higher profits but of higher costs in world markets any countrys currency it went that way at one time or another most families put their hand to keeping a budget as much to try to find out where the money goes as to try to keep it from going for those and they must be legion who have given up on the bookkeeping as a hopeless if not an un rewarding task there may be some value in knowing what the average family does with its money the information comes from a sur vey of 1672 families residing in 60 cities across canada it has just been released by the dominion

will pay for it if there are many buyers the price goes up if there are few buyers the price goes down in fhgjm mediate post war years there were so many outsiders particularly ameri cans eager to invest here that they bid up the world price of our dollar but we did not manage our prosperity too well production cosis were forced up faster than the output of wealth government expenditure pyra mided with much of the spending going to welfare programs that cost more each year even when revenues lag in time a lack of outside confidence in canada was reflected in the world money markets pegging the dollar at its present level will be no simplebanker s trick if it is not to depreciate further with resulting higher living costs we will have to convince the world that ours is a
