'46 Readjustment Shows | Ottawa, Dec. 27--(CP)--Despite difficulties and delays, "material" progress was made In 1946 in the readjustment of the Canadian economy from a wartime to a peacetime footing, the Prices Board reported today in a year-end re- view. Reporting a number of upward adjustments in price ceilings dur- ing the year, the board said these were necessary to reflect the <im- pact of higher production costs and the cessation of some of the sub- sidles introduced during the war years. Essentially, these cost increases were the heritage of wartime con- ditions and resulted from increased wage rates and material costs and higher prices in other countries. Despite these upward pressures, the rise in the cost-of-living index during 1946 was held to about seven per cent. { More Goods Produced The board reported production of civilian goods showed a "consider- able" increase over 1945, and said that most of the goods that Can- adians eat or wear were produced -| in quantities equal to or greater than in prewar years. "However, the expansion of pro- duction was impeded by 'bottle- necks' of one kind or another," it added. "Shortages of a number of essential items continued to exist, and the hopes of the public that many of the things which have not been produced for three or four years would become available in reasonably ample quanties were not fully realized," In addition, world-wide shortages of many items imported from akroad--cotton goods, worsteds, oils and fats, sugar--also served to re- strict the supplies available within the dominion, Production of mantfactured goods in Canada was impeded by labor disputes in many key indus- tries, both in this country and the United States. Notwithstanding these obstacles the rate of con- sumption in Canada, as measured by the volume of retail sales, was considerably higher than in 1945. Price increases authorized by the board in 1046 frequently represent- ed a delayed reaction to a condition of increased costs which had oc- curred during the war years, but which had been postooned pending the cessation of wartime produc ticn and the resumption of civilan- type - production. Other increases reflected postwar rises in wages or in the costs of imported and domes- tic materials. "In view of the.need for encour- aging reconversion and stimulating production," said the board, "the system of price control was admin- istered in. a rather more flexible manner in 1946 than had been feas- ible in the war years, and a begin- ning was made in the direction of decontrol by the suspension of Price ceilings on certain goods' of little significance to the cost of" living.". The review then listed meas announced last July to protect the, Canadian economy from existing inflationary pressures and to make the administration of price control more effective and workable. These moves included the res- toration of the Canadian dollar to parity with the United States dol- lar, a revised pricing formula for imported goods, and removal of a number of goods and services from the price ceilings. ; Subsidy 3 duced during the year. Removed were the consumer and producer subsidies on milk, and other pay- ments to growers of tomatoes, beans, corn and carrots, and on im- ported raw wools and worsted yarns and fabrics. Subsidies paid on im- ported cotton goods were lowered. In view of the continued increase In world prices, subsidies being paid on items of prime importance to consumers, such as cotton textiles and coal, were continued to hold ' the cost of living "within reason- able limits." "In this regard," said the board, "the original expectation that all import subsidies would be removed by Je end of 1946 was not fulfill. Where Increases Allowed Commodities on which price in- creases were granted, because of subsidy removals and other factors, included furniture, leather, textile products, rubber footwear, coal, mo- tor cars, certain meats, canned fish, canned poultry, dried fruits, butter, evaporated milk and peanut butter, Although many foods continued in short supply, the over-all food situation showed improvement. Crops of fruits and vegetables were "excellent" and the sugar situ- ation showed a "slight" improve- ment. Dalry products generally were short and further increases in the consumption of fluid milk af- fected production of butter and cheese. Livestock slaughterings de- Ylmey; with hogs down substantial- ly. As a simplification measure and to reduce the number of ration cou pons needed, sugar and preserves were combined under a single ra- tioning scheme early in 1946. No major change occurred until De- cember, when canned fruits, cran- berry sauce and all baby foods con- laining sugar were made ration- Tee. With the ending of the war, ene forcement problems tended to, in- crease, partly as ga result of con- tinuing shortages and partly be- cause of the inevitable lessening of the urgency of the economic situa- tion. The majority of price offences related to sales of meat, groceries, tanned fruits, vegetables and tex- es, \ Farndaie's for Christmas. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Brown and Eric, Mrs, H. F.
