Earlier 1n the day an anonymous telephone call was received at the famous flyerfis home, where most of the east's law enforcement agencies have been scrutinizing clues and questioning men and women by the hundreds. The caller wanted to know whether immunity would be granted the kidnappers if they de- cided to return the abducted twenty-month-oid child.

"Wise An

ML YREAL, March 4. — Pre- miflrvBéllllflti/S recommendation to the members of the House to study U19 question of gold coverage of Dominion notes was seen by Dr. J. P. Day, Professor of Econom- ics, McGill University, as a wise 911d- llmfll’ reminder to/the coun- vtry that the Bank Act is due for its decennial revision next year, and important as an indication tllflii Caught unprepared, the bank- 1118 System might bs hustled into unfortunate innovations,

Being unprepared, we ought to avail ourselves of the opportunity of doing what ought to be done and avoiding complcations when the time comes for revision; this was the thought in the Prime Min- ister's mind, Dr. Day considered. Referring to Mr. Bennett's state- ment thnt one of the items touch- ed on next your might be that of a central bank, he said that there was need for more co-operation between the central banks of the world than they had yet had. "It is necessary to have some respon- slble and competent authority pre- pared to act for Canada in such co-operuiion, and it seems at least uncertain as to whether wc have any such authority," Dr. Day con- tinued.

Standing Committee Urged

“The possibility may be thought to exist in the Canadian Bankers‘

Says McGill Professor

undertake such a responsibility. i! would be well if such a within were publicly understood. Ind it would seem to demand that the association should have s standing committee concerned with the may,’ formulation. and iwl 0f the general monetary policy-

"It would be probably advisable that such a committee, though fl small one, should co-opt represen- tatives from commerce and indus- try. and it would, of course. have to work in close harmony with the Dominion Ministry of Finance."

The Premier's statement that a central bank might have redis- count privileges and opportunities somewhat larger than those pro- vided by the Bank Act, Dr. Day was incline’ to doubt. He consid- ered that wider redlscount, privil- eges would not be extended through a central bank, and was of the opinion that they were wide enough at present. Rediacount prlvilegeswere wider in Canada than in the United States, while England had no corresponding privilege.

Of less importance was Mr. Ben- nett's remark that if Canada ab- andoned the gold standard the value of the Canadian dollar would shrink to 25 cents. This was purely conjectural; Canada's abandon- ment of the gold standard would certainly produce an adverse el-

Associatlon, but if that associa- tion recognizes and is prepared to

Mr. Macaulay referred to the still pressing if not increasing need for more cautious, saner and ef- flclent driving on the highways of the province. Despite intensive campaigns by the government and other bodies for “sane, safe and courteous driving,” he said, Ont- ario drivers were still not careful enbugh. In the last analysis it was up to the individual to govern his driving in the interests not only of his own but of others’ safety, he declared, if any progress was to be made. .
