B4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 20, 1981 Last week in Canadian business Economic upturn temporary By The Canadian Press Interest rates are down, the cost of living is down — so why are the experts being so dour? Most economists say the slight improvements in the over-all outlook seen this week are likely temporary only, with no grounds for hoping that a long-term trend toward economic improve- ment is developing. One reason for the gloom is that they have been proved wrong now for a couple of years every time they tried to be optimistic. A more serious one is that ther are no signs of im- provement in basic economic conditions which, analysts say, have to be turned around before they can be any prospect of significantly better time. But for people grasping at straws, the week did produce some good news. Statistics Canada reported that inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, eased to an annual rate of 12.7 per cent in August, down from 18 per cent in July — the highest level in more than 30 years. THe decline, however, may be misleading, analysts say. They note it does not include any of the energy-cost in- creases which will be coming along as a result of the Sept. 1. oil-pricing agreement be- tween the federal and Al- berta governments. ‘Tat agreement is expected to add as much as three per- centage points to the price index as soon as the full impact hits the economy with such factors as higher food and home-heating costs as well as the obvious increase 80 demonstrate in transportation. On interest rates, the Bank of Canada dropped its central rate to 19.67 per cent, down from 20,18 per cent a week earlier. That represents a decline of 1,57 percentage points since the record high of 21.24 per cent set Aug. 6. It convinced some major chartered banks to drop their prime lending rate — the interest charged on loans to top-rated corporate custom- ers — to 21.25 per cent, down half a percentage point from he level set only at the be- ginning of the week. Other chartered banks were study- ing the matter. Prime rates, which set the standard for most other bank loans such as mortgages and’ those for major purchases, stood at a record 22.75 per cent Aug. 6, reflecting the high level of the central bank rate. Economists say that the short-term outlook for inter- est rates in Canada depend on two basic factors — what happened to the United States economy, and growing political pressure in Canada for further relief, especially for homeowners faced with renewing mortgages at rates in the 20.75 per cent range. The outlook for both is uncertain. RECESSION LOOMS The U.S. appears to be heading into another reces- sion, but the Federal Reserve Board — the equivalent of the Bank of Canada — has remained firm in its an- nounced attention to keep the screws on tightly until inflation is whipped. Within Canada, mortgage lenders have been asked by in Nelson Protest By The Canadian Press A planned nationwide women’s protest Friday night against rape and ‘viol- ence apparently failed to the federal cabinet to hold off on foreclosures until the budget is presented after Parliament resumes Oct. 14. Some relief has been prom- ised for those hit hardest by mortgage rates but nothing has been spelled out. Elsewhere on the business scene, considerable confusion’ surrounded the future of two oil-sands projects, worth a total of $265 billion and cap- able of turning out 260,000 barrels of oil a day — if they are built. Since Canada now imports 450,000 barrels a day, the would Federal Energy Minister Mare Lalonde was quick to criticize the oil companies for their stand. “When was the last time you heard the oil industry people say they had enougl money?” he asked. : Laying the 740-kilometre pipeline from Quebec City through New Brunswick to Glace Bay, N.S., is expected to start in early 1983 and cost $2.6 billion. PLANT MEANS JOBS A major West Germany Klock- lberta ty Merv Leitch, who with La- londe worked out the agree- ment, asked the companies to justify their figures. “engine er-Humboldt-Deutz AG, an- nounced plans for a $78- million plant in Boucherville, Que., to build an advanced air-colled diesel engine. The plant would employ 330 peo- pleat first and, if sales justify expansion, up to 1,000. The president of City Cen- tre Airways Ltd. said pro- hibitively high interest costs could delay or even kill the proposed downtown airline service between Toronto, Ot- tawa and Montreal. “At 12 per-cent money, this thing would have been profitable very quickly,” said James Plaxton. “But at cur- rent rates, now 24 per cent, it is no longer viable.” The C Canada said its third-quarter survey of. business execu- tives found them i ingl: be a step toward about. the econ- self-sufficiency. However, spokesmen for both projects said this week the returns outlined under the Ottawa-Alberta oil-pric- ing agreement may be too small to make the plants economically viable. . PROJECT ON HOLD Imperial Oil Ltd. said the agreement apparently does not offer enough of a return to justify the $12-billion in- omy. “Most executives antici- pated a weaker profit per- formance, lower sales growth and higher unemployment,” the non-profit economic re- search organization said. “The survey results sug- gest that senior executives are increasingly . divided about future inflation pros- pects, although most anti- in its prop plant at Cold Lake in north- eastern Alberta. “The agreement contains a lot of optimistic language that is difficult to substan- tiate by a close inspection of the numbers,” said Imperial president Jim Livingstone. “The large print giveth and the small print taketh away.” Earlier, Jack MacLeod, president. of Shell Canada Resources Ltd., which holds 45 per cent of the proposed Alsands plant near Fort Mc- Murray, Alta., said the ag- reement makes the develop- ment uneconomic. But he stressed Shell is not pulling out. lacked support About 276 people joined in a march from the provincial legislature through .down- town Winnipeg streets, with many carrying placards read- the hoped for by organizers. In Nelson, about 80 wom- em, some accompanied by their children, marched through an area where two women were raped last month. The largest reported dem- onstration was in Montreal, where an 2,000 ong Di the Patriar- chy and Clean Up the Streets. STYMIED AT CENTRE A similar number of wom- en in Edmonton were sty- mied when they attempted to march through Edmonton Centre, a downtown shopp- ing mall, as part of their placard-carrying, slogan- chanting women marched through the city’s east-end streets. “The streets belong to us,” they chanted. “End insults to our bedy.” The parade stopped at intervals in front of movie houses featuring sex-orien- ted films, sex shops and bars advertising nude dancers. In Toronto, about 200 women took part in a march with the theme Take Back the Night. The parade through east- against the lack of safety for women on the streets. However, the parade was prevented from entering the centre by security guards, “You could end up with 90 retail stores with property damage.” The turnout in Calgary was considerably smaller. About a dozen represen- tatives of five women's groups took part in the demonstration, with six members of the Feminist Theatre Project, wearing gags and dressed in red, performing a mime for a gathered crowd. HOLD VIGIL In New Westminister, just outside Vancouver, hundreds of women listened to spee- ches and music and took part in a candlelight vigil. Nicole amember who said no of any type were inside. “You could just imagine what would happen if we let them in and there were a couple of people who didn’t like what they were saying,” security Chief Jim Douglas said. allowed. of Rape Relief, told the crowd the organization had handled more than 500 calls from women who were attacked last year.

The board has recom- mended the diameter of the pro| pipeline decrease the further it gets from Que- be, but the Nova Scotia government has said the line should be constant so gas can be shipped west from Nova Scotia if commericaldeposits are found off Sable Island. Residents evacuated SURREY, B.C. About 50 residents of Surrey were evacuated from their homes Friday when a tanker truck carrying 16,000 litres of liquid oxygen overturned, forcing closure of a busy highway. Traffic was re- routed while two tanker trucks siphoned the liquid into their tanks. No one was injured.
