referred to predic tions that the Canadian dollar value will go down even fur ther This is not my own opinion but that of several economists with whom had talked and whose reasoning was sound he said referring to the grow ing public debt in which the iii terest alone amounts to about $47Xi0000 HY END OF YEAR The prediction is that the dollar will go down even for tlier maybe to 90 cents by the end of the year said Dr ltynard who commented Even at that figure there are economists who predict the dollar should be valued at 85 cents It is my own opinion that the government will not allow the dollar to go below 90 cents Deploring the high govern ment spending and borrowing of recent years the rillia physician who has been member of Parliament since 1957 observed Consequently Canada today owes billions of dollars all of this with interest which must be paid yearly or half yearly anada is not the only coun try iii economic trouble the North Siincoe onservative member conceded Many other countries are having problems but none of the coun tries that are in real trouble have the natural resources or technical skills we have in this country he said MEIlUN DT DENTURE THERAPIST Complete

productivity our decrease in exports and our high employ ment he added In the opinion of the North Simcoe member Canada has only short time to change direction because he explain ed if the dollar hits 90¢ this gives 10 tariff protection This would allow us surely to increase our exports but only if the inflationary rate is held he said If the inflation rate is 10 and the dollar is valued at 90¢ then it follows that we are not any further ahead Surely it is obvious that this country has been mismanaged completely in the last few years Mr Trudeau and his government have been in one trouble

about this by the Economic Council of Canada as far back as 1968 Government spending must be kept within certain limits The Liberal government is running wildly beyond them It is true that Mr Trudeau tells the public to pull in their belts Not prepared to stay with the government any longer seven of the Trudeau cabinet min isters have sought other places leaving him with many inex perienced untrained personnel trying to fill the shoes of train ed expeirienced ministers and government Parliament and Canada is suffering We have to give Mr Trudeau credit for running from the Just Society of
