own and love small boat Go camping in it.
If you'd like to join the thousands of Ameri-

don't assume that you need big gold-plated
cruiser that viii sleep your whole family. You can
have wonderful holiday aROat in l6-fOOt-Or-sO
cupboard if you carry along the right equipment.
People range all over the country towing
OutbOard-engined boats on trailers behind the
family car in order to launch them in places as far
apart as Puget Sound, the Florida Keys or even in
that little mud wallOw, Smiths Pond, down the
road piece - amy place there's shelving beach

from. One, for example, the l6foot, finch ''Bos-

NEW YORK.-Canada should
be an area of great business Op-
portunity for the United States
economy; and at times it has
been. Today, however, our good
neighbor to the north-who hap
pens to be our best customer
has got good and mad at our
way Of doing business with her.
Good competitors should al
ways be sensitive to complaints
from any customer. But when a
major industrial power needs
money-gOOd export business as
badly as the United States does,
it had better heed angry stir
rings and mutterings from its
best customer.
In addition, this prime Gus
toner has another handle on us.
We owe Canada money, and she
can call US for it any time she
wants to. To be sure, United
States industry has a great deal
more capital invested up there
than Canadian nationals have
deposited in our banks or put
into our securities markets. But
our industrial investments are

Meanwhile, the prodigious
aow Of United States investment
dollars into Canada has wound
up contributing to our payments
deficit; and, on the Canadian
side Of the ledger, it has In
creased the burden Of capital
cost on her earnings.
Canada needs to find the bet
ter part Of a billion a year Just
in order to service the foreign
capital invested in her produc-
tive resources. But she has been
falling short Of earning enough
from her United States exports
to pay for her imports from the
United States, let alone to meet
her fixed charges to American
investors. In fact, our surplus
account with Canada has been
too rich to be Hue-or to be
trusted.
In the case of our exports,
Canada has to a considerable
extent been a captive market,
with our exports pushing in af-
ter our investments. American
goods have been welcomed BY
private and commercial con.
sumers alike in Canada. But the
Canadians are asking: Whai
Evening star., 1963-12-23

about the United States as a
consumer for our goods? After
all, from Adam Smith to Cordell
Hull, reciprocity has been the
soul Of trade. And from the jun
ior partners side Of the bar
gaining table, It must look to
Canada as If we are .7illing to
buy only those Canadian ma
terialS we cannot do without
her nickel, asbestos, newsprint,
and other mining and forest
products.
Actually, the goods Canada
wants to ship south are very
much the same kind as what we
ship nOrth-fabricated industrial
products Of all kinds. There is
no economic reason why Cana
dians should run into as much
trouble as they complain about
Opening industrial markets
within the United States-muct
more trouble than the Euro

Building Pace
Is Maintained
By Housing

CHICAGO (DD.-Home con-
struction, one Of the main
springs of the United States
economy, is showing few signs
Of slowing down.
For more than three years
the Nations homebuilders have
been hammering up houses and
apartments at a steadily in
creasing pace. This year home
construction is expected to
climb to 1,55O,OOO units, the
highest level since the post
Korean-war boom days of 1855.
But, keeping pace with new
home construction, have been
vacancy rates in non-farm
dwellings. At latest report, in
September, the vacancy rate in
the country's apartment build
ngS stood at more than rs per
cent, a level high enough to
normally set some economists
wondering if the bubble isn't
about to burst.
Projections on BODYBUILDING
| for 1864 however show little
peSSimiSm.
Even occasional notes of
caution on next years building
outlook are tempered with
comments that the current pace
is baSically sound. Johns-Man-
vile Corp, forecasts a slight
decline in BODYBUILDING next
year because of what it calls
mixed reports on multi-family
housing being received from
some communities" But the
company adds that the dip is
expected to be only tempo
rary."
Not even this mild reservation
is held by the home builders
themselves. An 8O0-member
survey conducted recently by
the National Association of
Home Builders indicated hous-
ing starts next year would rise
is per cent. The projection
marked a reversal from that
prepared by the association in
October when an NAHB econO-
mist predicted a 1864 decline Of
about 2 per cent. A just-com'
pleted Dow Jones check of more
than go builders suggests a 1864
increase Of at least S per cent.
