Decline in business in Can While admitting Canada was af fected by those international movements which had caused the up ward trend of world to hesitate, pause and fall backward, Mr. Brown saw In what had been happening in the United States the chief cause of the recent decline of activity in Canada. "As a matter of fact," said Mr. Brown, "there is nothing in the basic situation in this country to account for the extent of the moderate recession in business that we The fear of what mt happen In Canada, J1 what, has happened in the United States, has been the most depress-, ing factor in our situation. It is respectfully submitted that we Canadians should show more Independence In our thinking and more ability to appraise our own conditions and to act boldly and con fidently in regard to our own affairs." There were many factors that were reassuring and some distinct ly encouraging, submitted Mr. Brown. Many experienced and able observers believed that world political gelations,, bad as they were, shewed "definite signs of Improve? ment, partly as a result of the policies conceived and adopted by Great Britain during recent months. World production, while it had diminished, had not suffered a serious decline. Trade, in spite of obstacles, deemed to hold its own in countries that were not at war. Generally speaking, Industrial production In the British Isles continued at a high level, although part of this was due to the manufacture of war supplies. - Future Conditions Conditions throughout the British Empire compared favorably with those in other territorial and (economic g'roups and Mr. Brown paid, tribute to the Ottawa agreements' as having done much to turn the tide of the depression In Empire countries and being a steadying Influence in the present situation. "Within the boundaries of our own country," said Mr. Brown, "there may be found many reasons for looking forward with moderate confidence. In travelling about. one hears of many factories that are still operating at full time and of some that are working overtime. While the number of unemployed has grown, the Increase Is not relatively great, and there will be many opportunities for work in the . summer arid autumn."
