"The entire economic develop- ment of Canada was based on hav- ing a surplus of exports to Europe, which Europe paid for in cash. and by which means Canada got enough foreign exchange to beablo to purchase the things it needed from the United States and other ‘countries. "That has always been our situ- atlon in the past and that is what our situation will have to be once more in the future, unless we are to make radical and revolutionary changes in the entire economic structure of our country. . . . " nltude Of Loon "Our loan to the United Kingdom was exactly one-third of the size of the U.S. loan to Britain, and. as everyone knows, in proportion to the relative magnitudes of popu- latlon and national income that was several times as large as the U.S. loan. A loan of that magnitude was only feasible for Canada on the assumption that it would be used gradually. "When it was negotiated. the understanding was that it was to help cover British requirements in Canada over a five-year period. al- though it was anticipated that the bulk of it would be used in the first. three years of that period. “In actual fact it has been used far more rapidly tho/n was intend- ed. During the many months bo- tween the negotiation of the Amer- ican loan and the time when Con- gross finally ratified the loan, Can- ada ~made advances freely to the United Kingdom for the full amount of its requirements. By the enl! of 1946. advances mi the Canadian loan were $540.000.000 as compared with advances on the American loan of $600,000.00‘!- "Eariy this year British require- ments increased and had Britain drawn fully on the Canadian loan for all her requirements the credit would have been fully exhnilstef by early this fall, contrary to the desires of both countries and the intentions of bofih governments at the time the loan was arranged for. "it i9 obvious that a loan of $1.- 250000000 to be fully utilised in a year and a half would be comiY-ei.‘ ly beyond Canada's capacity "id would have be so Yellrded by everyone. A s tantlal part _of Canada's exports must always be paid for in cash or convertible ex- change. otherwise we could not continue to pay for the U.S. im- ports upon which our economy d0" pends. "it was therefore understood from the beginning that we would continue to receive a certai-n flow of convertible foreign currency from the United Kingdom as well as from the other countries whose purchases here we were partly financing on credit. . _ . "As a result of Canadian credits we have done our best to assist in solving the difficult postwar financial problems of the United K‘ ,“ as well as those of other war-torn countries in Europe and Asia. Proportionate to its size and resources. no other country has in my opinion made so large a con- tribution." b’!

A’ United States note said it "is unable to accept the thesis that nothing can be done" simply be- cause the Soviet Union has not consented to the plans. At. the some time. it accused the| Soviet Union of failing to live up to its agreement, made by General- lssimo Stalin at Potsdam in 1945. to treat Germany as a single eco- nomic unit.
