The. re,, view points out that it is .,novv.: clear that, after climbing persist- ently and often rapidly since 1946, business activity- reached a -peak in the autumn of 1953, and entered upon a gentle downward slope, the contours of which are still being mapped. To a significant extent, the re- view notes, Canadian conditions have paralleled those in ''the U.S. The Canadian economy is invari- ably affected by 'American influ- ences but, .: In ' addition, the ilia -- proved competitive position of overseas countries has affected this continent as a whole. In Canada, the peak came a little later in 1953, and the subsequent descent has been a little more gradual than in the States. Moreover, 'there are signs that, in 'both countries, busi- ness activity is .now following a more level course. "Looking broadly at the period since October, 1953," the review says, "it is evident that the Can- adian economy has ,been subjected to some recessive influences which, however, have been of moderate intensity. Each., of the main sources of demand showed some softening, but there was little evi- dence of the cumulative interaction of - declining demand that marks "a sharp business downturn." NOW APP!
