So argues a leading U.S. economist in’ a recent issue of the Lioyds Bank Review. And Professor C. P. Kindle- berger of Massachusets In- stitute of Technology shows what. good advice that is, us- ing the example of British ex-— perience over. the past 50 years. His theseis is that @ Britain sacrificed econ- omic growth after two. world wars by trying to set the clock back and pursuing lost pres- tige. ‘®. Growth was also. sacri- ficed as a result of policies that favored expansion in in- ternal demand rather ~ than . expansion of. capacity: to meet. . external demand as, ‘the | stim ; po AISTES . are As’ an example of. the ~ first kind of failure, Professor ‘Kin- dleberger quotes don after World’ War I to put the pound sterling back on the pinnacle on which it rest- ed in 1913. . The cost of this attempt to try to look the dollar in the eye was deflationary policies: that slowed down growth in the 1920s. AS an example of the second kind of failure, the article quote, unquote Marilyn Monroe: “It’s like caviar, good to have: but nol when you have to have it every meal and every day.” eb bk LL. W.

These are examples from the past. But the argument of treating bygones as bygones applies directly to the British move to join the Common Market. : fe fe From the point. of view of Britain’s own interests, the de- cision is one for. growth in- Stead of stagnation. It at- tempts to turn the clock for- ward rather than back, And it offers the hope that the British economy will grow Common Market: There may be lessons for Canada in.all of this. In terms of economic: and commercial policy, in the past—and it’s sacrific- ing growth as a consequence. In an age of ever increasing units of production, we’re still modified form of National Policy—using the tariff to maintain or. create infant industries. In an age when trade blocs ’ are making a policy of mullti- lateral trade less attractive, we're still talking as if in GATT we trust. And at a time when Com- monwealth Preference is on the decline, it remains en- shrined in Canada's - three- column tariff. Don't be surprised at this rate if Canada’s economy ends up as the dodo of the Western world. Letterhox The Editor, The Daily News: Oh, to be an underpaid Civil Servant!
