Not a suit either, Just my first ,pair of long pants -To- day and for the past 20 years the interim steps have vanished and the order now is from diapers to long trousers. I have often felt (although my kids .think I'ni old fashioned) that growing up is not the orderly process it once was, and I am prompted to wonder, if our country is not the victim of a similar situation. Is it :possible Canada and Canadians discarded the o t "short pants" too soon? In making this observation, I am in no way minimizing the sta- ture of our great country. How- ever, I would like to remind you of the often used philosophy that some are born great, 'others aoh- lave greatness and still others have greatness thrust upon them. I would like to suggest that Can- ada and Canadians were born with a great potential but that our long term future will be best served if we "achieve greatness" rather than by attempting to thrust it upon ourselves Nor ant I pessimistic. I believe that no country in the world has a greater potential than this land of ours. It does seem to me how- ever, that in the face of the liter- ally fantastic development of the past decade and a half, a period of consolidation is .worthy of the careful consideration of us all. While the words of Mr. Coyne ad- dressed ddressed recently to the Winnipeg Canadian Club snay be unpleas• ant to contemplate, I must admit, I feel they are timely. He points out "that we are incurring foreign debt to pay for both a level of ca. pital spending and a standard of living comfort which are higher than would be justified by our own earning capacity." It is my opinion that our at- tempts to correct a serious imbal- ance of trade have been in a large measure misdirected. For instance, there is scarcely a day passes when the press; the radio and television do not them- selves comment, or express the comments of others respecting our great need for increased ex- ports, That we need increased ex- ports is abundantly true. In fact it is altogether too true. Our production capacity is so vastly in excess of our consump- tion potential, that there would seem to be little 'prospect of any- thing but surplus stocks of most agricultural commodities in par- ticular—for the foreseeable fu- ture, It is my opinion Ghat this trend Dr, and Mrs, R, Flowers and .chairman and Rolance Williaan, will •continue.

In the face of the foregoing and' because of an inilux of, 11.S, dol Mrs for capital purposes, we also enjoy the dubious luxury of prem- ium dollars. A dollar that buys too much abroad and too little' at home.' Instead of a dollar value which would attract more foreign spending in Canada, our dollar is so attractive that too many of then are being spent in markets elsewhere. Another reason for a serious trade imbalance. I contend, and have said so on previous occasions, that Canada's greatest import need is people. To me, there is no better means of effectively correcting a trade situation which may continue to deteriorate, than by developing our domestic economy and ex- panding our domestic .market. A commodity trade deficit of 400 million dollars is of staggering propoions. But, I believe, this •can be car vetted if we can re -align Dur thinking' and policy in the follow- ing manner: (a) Channel our :great produc- tion capacity into the process and manufacture ofgoods which there is a market for at home and road. (1) Review and revise our im- migration policy to provide for a greatly increased flow of potential new Canadians. "(c) Exercise some common ev- eryday horse sense in our demand upon governments at all, levels for assistance with the financing of almost anything that crosses the anind of the public. Now to briefly discuss these suggestions. To .channel our pro- ductive capacity may necessitate a comprehensive review of our imports over the past ten years. Such a survey may well reveal that many imported ,commodities are capable of as efficient and ec- onomical production in Canada as from abroad, It is of course to be recognized that drastic curtail- ment of imports ,can cause 'cer- tain retaliatory measures by our foreign customers. Nevertheless I am one that believes many ins- tances would be apparent where we export the raw material and buy back the finished product, That our immigration policy warrants some revision is borne out by the example of Ontario, The record :of our great province stands oat as ample proof of the merits of a program of stepped- up immigration policy on a selec- tive basis. B3' selective, I mean the type of :people who believe in our way of life—our free enter- prise system, Recent figures published by the Ontario Department of Planning and Development indicate our po- pulation to have passed the six million mark, In 1959 our indus- trial output reached eleven billion dollars. This figure is 50 per cent of Canada's present total and greater than the entire Canadian figure in 1947.
