C of G loading question

The following is driving me nuts as I have a different view to that of a piece i saw written recently.

It concerns the following question :

If C of G moves fwd, what does the elevator do?

The answer given was :

Moves DOWN in order to counter balance the nose down.

Is this correct???
I would ve thought that it should move UP instead in order to avail of the resulting downward airforce it would encounter which would "push" the tail downwards thereby pulling the nose "upwards"!!!

thanks guys n gals
