The delicate balance between adequate economic growth and unhealthy in- flationary pressures is reaching a critical point. The worrying thing, according to | this financial paper, is that the mone- tary restraint suitable for a some- what overheated economy is not achieving its proper purpose. The banks are squeezed hard. The bond market is so starved of funds that it is almost inactive. But this is a quite undiscriminating squeeze; it hits pro- ductive enterprise equally with neces- sary social capital and unnecessary luxury building. It affects regions in need of development equally with There are regional differences which also seem to defy any correc- tives based on present policies. Con- provinces, for example, have been 22 per cent below last year. In Quebec and Ontario they were up about the same amount, while in British Co- lumbia they were more than double.

Yet if there is one thing more important than anything else it is surely the need for maintain our growth rate and the massive and growing welfare estab- lishment we are building on it. Com- placency on this point could land us in some serious trouble indeed. An appraisal of the needs and re- sources of Canada, prepared by three Twentieth Century Fund in the Un- ited States, forecast that by 1975 per- sonal expenditures, government spending, and business capital in- vestment will be more than double what they were in 1960.

The visit comes at a time when | Moscow is showing signs of busy | diplomatic activity, sparked by in- | creasingly bitter rivalry with Com- munist China. It is believed to be preparing the way for a meeting of most of the world’s Communist part- ies next March, at which a vigorous effort will be made to reassert Soviet claims to leadership. The result, it is felt in England, could be an irrevocable split of the Communist movement, with the two big powers claiming power more | stridently than ever. _Hardly_any- one expects that Peking will let Mos- cow’s claim to leadership go unchal- lenged. but the latter appears to have gained: new influence in North Viet Nam.and North. Korea lately,.and the Eastern European countries have shown their resentment against existence. Moscow's official organ.
