"My general conclusion Is that Ur national product in 1954 will be at least equal to 1953, and Drobably higher; In other words, I think, that an upswing in the lecond half of the year will more Ui&n compensate for the decline that are evident in certain branches of industry at present."

Mr. Abbott estimated the 1953 ros national product market value of all goods and services produced In Canada as $24,-345,000,000. That was $1,100,-000,000 up from 1952.

"Indeed," he said, "In the dynamic, kind of economy we have in Canada an occasional hesitation in Us forward movement may well be one of the consequences of the buoyant character of our economic growth. "Most of the elements which supported this growth In national product in 1953 ate still present, and I believe that . the forces of long-term expansion will soon rc-a.ssert themselves. "But some readjustments In production. In costs and in pricing policies are necessary and arc indeed going oil."
