Part II Of the report. to be
presented at the opening meet
ing Of the u. N. Economic and
Social Council in Geneva.
There had been fears that
the sharp turn upward from
the 1861 recession might not
be sustained and events dis
PEELED those fears, the survey
said. But 1t also noted that
considerable amounts Of idle
capacity and unemployment
remain persistent features Of
the economy"
There was q slackening off
in Western Europe during 1862
and prices and costs were up
sharply both there and in the
Soviet bloc countries, where
the survey said total foreign
trade continued to expand last
year.
The report noted that the
trade Of the Soviet Union with
the rest Of the world increased
at Q much higher rate than
its trade with the other coun-
tries Of the Soviet bloc. But
the trade Of other Eastern Eu-
ropean countries with the rest
Of the world saw only Q limited
increase. Red China's declined.
The vigor Of the United
States Canada upthrust in
1853 was credited chiefly to q
strong advance In consumer
expenditures which the sur
vey said increased faster than
disposable income.
Personal consumption In
increased moderately in most
East European countries, too,
with the Soviet Union and Ro-
mania credited with the high
est rates.
The survey noted some
doubts whether the United
States government tax credit
program of late 1862 would
improve the fixed investment
situation. but 1t added: "The
performance Of the economy
in the first quarter OF 1853
