Easing Of Banking Rule
Recommended In Repor Cyrus Eaton loses
Outlines New Plan
By DON HANRIGHT
OTTAWA 'CiPir—A more open. competitive banking system—- starting with the removal the six-per-cent interest limit on bank loans—was recommended Friday in a 350,000 - word re- port by the federal royal com- mission on banking and finance.

It favored a new system that would See equal lending and borrowing powers. equal regu~ lation and equal supervision of everyone doing a banking busi- ness—~not only the chartered banks, but the trust and loan companies and credit unions, the so - called “near banks.“
1 It proposed that chartered thanks be empowered to make Igeneral mortgage loans for the ‘ first time—on both first and sec- ond mo gages. Both the trust and loan companies would be able to make personal and bus- iness loans, secured in any way they saw fit or unsecured.
Would all this mean the big banks would get bigger? After all. the commission noted. the interest-rate limit and the pro- hibition on mortgage lending “have been key factors in hold- ing down their growth.
Undoubtedly their assets would grow under such a re- vised system,

“The community as a whole stands to benefit from more open competition and it is this advantage rather than the. com- fort of any group of institutions which should be sought," the re- port said. PRESENT SYSTI‘ZM GOO!) The report is the product of

In his statement last night bic Premier said:
“Some suggestions have been advanced that the recent trans- fer of certain divisions from certain departments of govern- ment. and the establishment or these divisions in other depart- ments will h a re a disastrous affect on the industry and na tional resources program. and that this department has been almost killed off, leaving only
industry as a part of it: \\'Ork.l
Such an impression is very. very wrong.

i as water conservation, forestry and the ARDA program, bring- ing these programs in line with the organizational set-up at the federal level. Furthermore, inc moves were made because
other departments have. morc_
adequate staffs to superv i se- tliese programs while at the same time, relieving the partment of Industry and tnral Resources to carry on no portant functions of its own.
“I would like to explain that the department of natural re- sources and industry adminis- ters two important acts one, the Industrial Establishment Pro~ motional Act with an advisory committee in connection there- to: and. the other, the P.E.i

the new board that is being esta- hlislied.
