(CP)
Confidence
In
Canada's
future
was
never
more
justified
than
at
the
present
lme
J.
E.
Savard
of
Montreal
told
delegates
to
the
annual
convention
of
the
Investment
Dealer's
Association
of
Canada
In
his
presidential
address
here.
Industries
throughout
the
Dominion
almost
without
exception
have
moved
ahead
with
rapid
strides.
In
many
cases,
he
said,
they
are
operating
at
all-time
peak
levels.
Continuation
of
easy
money
conditions
n
bond
markets
and
strengthening
of
equity
and
earning
power
behind
corporation
securities
were
cited
as
favorable
factors.
Agriculture
reflected
the
upward
movement
with
prospects
for
a
more
normal
wheat
carry-over
at
the
end
of
the
present
crop
year.
In
mining,
Canada
had
advanced
within
five
years
from
an
unimportant
position
in
-
the.
gold
Industry
to
the
world's
third
largest
producer.
Hydro-electric
industry
and
the
newsprint
output,
he
said,
were
running
at
high
levels.
Sounding
a
note
for
careful
financing
and
cconbmy
in
governments
the
president
referred
to
'unfavorable
factors
experienced
In
the
past
year"
as
"chiefly
of
a
political
nature
of
which
Canada
had
more
than
her
share."
"The
year
1936
has
been
far
more
serene
as
far
as
political
distur
bances
are
concerned
and
I
think
we
can
look
forward
to
a
period
irom
now
on
in
wnicn
ineie
win
be
a
greater
understanding
of
the
far-reaching
effects
of
even
a
suggestion
of
repudiation."
Money
rates
in
the
Dominion
have
followed
the
world
downward
movement,
In
evidence
since
1932.
Bank
Interest
on
savings
deposits
declined
from
three
percent,
In
May,
1933,
to
Vz

In
June
of
this
year.
The
decline,
however,
coupled
with
the
federal
government's
"easy
money
policies"
had
proved
a
good
foundation
for
an
extended
period
of
