THE ONLY WAY - Slash taxes | agency says OTTAWA (CP) — Higher unemployment anda weaker economy face the country, next year uniess the government brings in counteracting measures such as tax cuts, 2 private furecasting agency said Tuesday. The Conference Board in Canada, which has members from the private and government sectors, blames the predicted sluwdewn on recently-an- nounced restrictive federal policies such as spending culs and interest-rate in- creases. . The buard, in a quarterly forecast, says real economic growth in 1979 will be 3.7 per cent, down from four per cent this year. In July, before the federal govern- ment revealed spending reductions of $2 billion, the — board had predicted 4.1 per- cent expansion next year. Weakening demand in the United States for Canadian- produced guods will alsv hurt the ecunomy. The U.S. now accounts for ‘about 70 per cent of export and import trade. One result, the forecast says, is that unemployment will rise to nine per cent by the end uf 1979 from 8.5 per cent in August, Economists estimate the ecunomy must expand by five per cent annually for there to be reductions in the jobless rale. . But Lawrence Murphy, the board's chief economist, says the negative impact on growth arising from federal . by a tax ~ reduction corresponding to the ex- penditure restraints. ‘Finance Minister Jean Chretien has promised a budgel by the end of the year, ate “ Murphy néted that in recent months there had been a ‘‘substantial” ad- jusiment in federal monetary and fiseal policies. “Whereas. the federal government. moved | to stimulate economic growth in 1978, largely through a reduction in personal direct taxes in January and February and the sub- ‘sequent temporary reduc- tion in sales taxes, in 1979 it will be shifting towards a more restrictive position,” Murphy said. ; The board also says four successive increases in the Bank of Canada interest rale, which have raised il to 9,5 per cent from 7.5 per cent last March, will result in higher burrowing rates for business and consumers. This will tend to “choke off’ investment spending and sales to consumers of high-cost durable gouds, thus reinforcing the restrictive influence of olher federal policies, the buard adds. Changes in the rate the Bank of Canada charges on its infrequent luvans lo charlered banks are usually fallowed by financial in- stitutions. The increases this year were introduced in an effort io supporl the in- ternalional value of the dollar by attracting foreign investors. . But U.S. interest rates have been rising quickly and the dollar has continued to fallin value. Last March 8 it was worth 88,68 cents U.S. but since then it has fallen below the 8 cents U.S. level, The board says the likelihood of success of in- creases in theinterest rate in bulstering the dollar is “debatable.” | “Despite the bank rate in- creases ... long-term bond rates in Canada have remained flat,” the board says, “Since large-scale capital flows are most sensitive to long-term rate differentials it would appear that the incentive for capital muvements has not changed markedly.” The buard says the outlook for exports to the U.S. this year has moderated and prospects are for a more severe slowdown in 1979. “This implies that exports of goods from Canada will decelerate and, con- sequently, the balance of — trade will no longer be the chief suurce of economic ex- pansion.” Federal authorities have been counting upon a merchandise trade surplus as a major sourceof strength in the economy. But a atrong performance in the first five months was followed by weakness in June and July. Merchandise export sales should rise by 8.7 per cent in real terms this year, but ex- pansion will slow to 3.4 per cent in 1979, the board says. Mid-east deals said in jeopardy | WASHINGTON (CP) — The latest Middle East peace accords hit a new snag Tuesday as Jurdan’s King Hussein dissaciated his country from the agreements following dis- cussions with other Arab leaders. Saudi Arabia followed Hussein’s reaction by rejecting the Egyptian- Israeli agreements worked out at Camp David, Md., describing them as an “umacceptable formula for a definitive peace.” But the Saudi statement hinted Saudi Arabia would not efforts to ay teeter higher Arab interests.”’. . And Israeli ‘Prime Minister Menachem told the U.S.’ Congress his country has no intention of giving up its claim to sovereignty or its right to station troops in disputed areas of the Weat Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip. Hussein's turndown, conveyed by a government spokesman in Amman, came just hours before U.S, State Secretary Vance was to fiy to the Middle East to brief key Arab leaders on the accords and seek their support. “Jordan is not obligated — morally or materially by the . agreements signed at the Camp David summit," a puvernment spokesman said in Amman. The statement was issued after Hussein cunferred by lelephone with Syrian President Hafez As- sad and Crown Prince Fahd uf Saudi Arabla. Begin told leaders of the House of Representatives here that they should not misinterpret the Camp David accords to mean that Israel has committed itself to resloring Arab sovereignty to those Arab lands it captured in the 1967 war, ; Begin commented as he ‘and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat visiled Capilol Hill to meet with congressional leaders and talk aboul the recently con- cluded summit.
