By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) — The premium on the Canadian d 011 a 1' has dropped to a Iii-month low, a shifting pattern that has brought more elation than concern to fed- eral quarters. “The drop is advantageous, for our exports," said Trade Minis- ter Churchill. in an interview. “It will be particularly welcomed by western farmers in view of the large overseas shipments of Cana- dian wheat." , Other federal officials said the decline—to a premium above the U.S. dollar of less than two cents compared with a peak of six cents a year ago—also will bring more money to Canadian gold shippers and exporters of hun- dreds of other products that make up Canada’s 85.000.000.000-aryear export trade. But it could conceivably add pressure on rising consumer prices, adding to the cost of some imports. Imports have eased dur- ing the last few months from last year’s record pace.

REFLECTION OF CONFIDENCE Federal expert-s have long de- scribed the premium strength of the Canadian dollar as a reflec- tion of world confidence in the Canadian economy. In August last year, fat example, it took $1.06 in American money to buy $1 Canadian. Now the Americans can 'buy $1 Canadian for slightly less than $1.02.

Behind this decline, officials said, lies a story of shifting pat- terns “of investment, the reces- sion, shifting Canada - United States interest rates and oddly enough, the Canadian conversion

NO BIG BORROWING

Banking officials said very little large-scale borrowing .has taken place in the last 10 days. Once the conversion bond campaign is mopped up, new offerings may emerge, perhaps once again in- fluencing the dollar exchange rate. .

But the main fact remains that unless there is a sharp upswing in. foreign investment in Canada, the premium on the Canadian dol- lar may remain low or disappear altogether. It has been almost three years since the Canadian

During the discussion preced- ing the motion an objection was raised over the inclusion of the highway from Alberton to Tig- nish in the roads to resources 'plan as this paving project had been undertaken by the Provin- cial Government and a contract awarded prior to the announce- ment of the Federal plan.'By counting this thirteen miles, and the remaining mileage to Sum- merside eventually, it was con- sidered that the First District, the largest rural district on the Island, would not get its fair share of pavement mileage under the roads to resources program.
