Proceedings of the Fourth Pacific Trade and Development Conference : Obstacles to trade in the Pacific area

The Fourth Pacific Trade and Development Conference was held
\nin Ottawa, Canada, on October 7 to 10, 1971. The Conference program was
\noutlined in the late summer of 1970, but it proved particularly topical in the
\nwake of the currency and trade crisis following August 15, 1971.
\nAlthough the realignment of currencies agreed in December has
\neased international monetary relationships, trade problems remain. Especially
\nin the Pacific area, the potential of trade as an engine of economic growth
\nand as a basis for constructive political relationships is difficult to overemphasize.
\nThe mutuality of interests in international trade between the
\ndeveloped countries of the region is well known. Of increasing importance is
\nthe export potential and performance of developing countries in South and
\nEast Asia. The future record of industrially advanced countries in reduction
\nor control of barriers to trade affecting developing countries' exports will
\ntest the sincerity of many who have professed to favour the liberalization of
\ntrade as a stimulus to development. The willingness and ability of developed
\ncountries to adjust their industrial structure will be the major theme of the
\nFifth Trade and Development Conference scheduled for Tokyo in January,
\n1973.
\nThe Canadian host committee of the Fourth Conference in
\nreleasing the proceedings of the Conference wish to express appreciation to
\nall those who have made possible the success of the Conference and the
\npreparation of this volume. In particular, we wish to thank the public and
\nprivate financial supporters in Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States
\nwhose assistance has been essential. We also wish to thank those students,
\nfaculty, and staff members at Carleton who helped with local arrangements
\nand the editing and preparation of the proceedings. The main responsibility
\nfor the latter task rested on Tom Burlington, who has recently gone to Japan
\nto take up employment with the International Development Center of Japan.
