Bonusing Sugar. Daddies

A New Democratic Party mem- ber, Mr. Robert Prittle. Burnaby- Richmond. has come up with the intriguing proposal that contribu- tions to political parties be Illowed as deductions for taxable incomes. He suggested in the Commons the other day that contributions should be rductible up to I maximum of per ‘spa $200 or $300 each.

‘Ir. Prittle argues that people who help finance political parties are contributing to the democratic process. That. of course. is true ‘enough; but does it constitute I 2 for subsidizing them in the

to contribute to party funds would have to pay more taxes to mIke up the bonuses the NDP member would like to provide for those who do. It is hard to see anything demo- cratic in this idea.

llndoubtedly it. would be I help to parties which find themselves lacking in campaign funds. If they could have backers’ contributions placed in the same category as charitable subscriptions and church doiiations. We have heard of "sugar daddies" who contribute to more than one party during an election campaign—to be on the safe side -—and they too would probably wel- come. this proposal with open arms. But surely II. is up to the parties thcnisclves to provide, through their platforms and the calibre of their camlirlatos. the kind of appeal that will elicit popular support.

If they are not able to do this, all the tax-free backing in the world would be money down the drain.

Plugs Legal Loopholes

OI‘ importance to all the prov- inces is the recent ruling of the Supreme (‘ourt of Canada. uphold. Inc the Ontairio Unooiiscionable Tmnsactions Relief Act. which pro- rides safeguards against. unscrupu- lous money lenders. The Ontario act. which has been in existence for half a century. has now been confirmed in its power to allow courts to grant relief in respect of money lent, where the cost of the loan is held to be excessive and the transaction harsh and “unconscion- able". The validity of the act, questioned on the grounds that it invaded the federal preserve of loan interest. has been restored.

We may expect. now that sim- ilar legislation will be introduced in other provinces, to curb the ac- tivities of “loan sharks”. As the Toronto Globe and Mail warns, how- ever. the Supreme Court, r til I ll 5; should not be taken as an open in- vitation for the enactment of all kinds of laws that would place legitimate finance. companies in straitjackcts. There is a limit to the extent in which borrowers can be protected from their own gullibility.

A major step toward protection of the uninformed borrower. it sug- gests, would be taken by requiring that the lender should disclose fully the total sum that the borrower is required to repay over the given period. Insistence on this point would be one effective method of repelling the sharks.

Kennedy Publications

Even the book-publishing busi- ness has felt repercussions from the assassination of President Ken- nedy. The Winnipeg Free Press notes in this connection that in ad- dition to the two books to his credit the late president had two more bearing his name, in the process of publication at the time of his death.

The first of these. completed just before going to Dallas, is “A Nation of Immigrants”. Originally scheduled for publication in Novem- ber. it has been re-scheduled for February because of some last minute changes and additions that the president wished to make. The second, “The Burden and the Glory", was due to be published next spring. Edited by Allan Nevins. it is I collection of Kennedy addressee.

But besides books by the presi- dent. a number of books about him have also been affected by the tragedy. Victor Lasky'I highly critical “.T.F.K.: The Man and the Myth" has had promotion suspend- ed Ind bookstores in the US. no longer display It. In contrast. the favorably disposed "John F. Ken- nedy, President". by Hugh Sidey. will have I second version which will include the events of the past summer and fall.

A final book to be affected by the assassination is “The First Four Kennedy Years" by William V. Shannon. This wall to have come out It the time of next year's cam- paign. Whether it will or not is now very much in doubt.
