fore the House or of dropping the question altogether. If we were to do thé latter and one or. more _of_our more important newspapers or chain of newspa- pepers were to fall into foreign hands. neither the government nor Parliament could shirk re- sponsibility for having allowed this to happen.””

INCLUDE PAPERS

Mr. Gordon announced in his budget speech April 26 that leg- islation would be introduced to Prohibit tax deducations for ad- vertising in non-Canadian publi- cations It was similar to pro- posals made earlier by both the Libera! and Conservative gov- ernments. except that this time it covered newspapers. Mr. Gor- don described it as a preven-. tive measure

Two periodicais would be ex- empt from the legislation—Time and Reader's Digest. Both are published in Canada.

Mr. Gordon told the Commons Monday night that the proposals did not arouse objections when advanced earlier, but since it now is to be applied te newspa- pers there have been sugges- tions that it infringes en free- dom of the press.

RETAIN FREEDOM

“The government's proposal asserts no eontro!l whatever over newspapers or other publi- cations. It does not alter in any way the complete freedom of businesses to advertise in any way they choose in existing pub- lications or in any future publi- cations owned by Canadians. It provides no precedent for any kind of government

ence in the complete freedom of the press.”

He said the majority of news- paper publishers have not ob- jected to preventive measures being taken against the transfer of Canadian newspapers to non- residents. The controversy ap- peared to involve the timing and the method

“As to timing, let me say the obvious. There is no point in locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen.”

He said his announcement last fall that legislation would be in- troduced to prevent the foreign take-over of banks had the ef- fect of blocking such a take over.

STRESSES DANGER

“The same thing could be true im the case of some Canadian newspapers. I do not think we would like it very much if we woke up ome morning to find, for example, that contro! of the Toronto Globe and Mail had been acquired by certain Ameri- can interests who wished to ex- ert a direct influence on Cana- dian public policy. Nor do I think we would like it: very much if we woke up one morn- ting te find, for example, that leontrol of La Presse had been acquired by certain European interests who wished to exert a

‘direct

influence on Canadian public policy. These are even- tualities the government be lieves we should guard against in time.”

He said the proposal inter- feres only with one freedom. ‘‘It means that a Canadian pub- lisher wanting to sell his newspaper will have to accept the best bid he can get from other Canadians. .The whole point is to establish a safeguard to prevent foreigners from out- bidding Canadians in this field.”

UNDERSTANDS WORRY

The finance minister said he could understand the objections of publishers who may want to expand their operations to other countries.

“Obviously, # this same ap- proach were adopted elsewhere, such, expansion wotld noi be possible unless the parties con- cerned were prepared to apply for citizenship in such other country. But this is an ob- jection which should be stated clearly for what it is: Fear that businessmen or wealthy finan- ciers may be discouraged from acquiring the communications media of other countries, and having done so, perhaps at- tempting to influence public opinion in those countries. That kind of objection should not be confused with freedom of the Press.”

Mr. Gordon said he couldn't believe that any Canadian gov- ernment” would ever contem- plate any measure which could be construed as_interfering with freedom of the press.

He said it was surprising that controversy arose over the ques- tion of freedom of the press,

‘when no such arguments arose

when the proposals applied only to periodicals.

“It is difficult to accept the fact that a principle can be right and good—and widely ac- cepted as such—when applied to one field of communications but not when it is applied to an- other.”

interfer- lish college student in London, sion with Vice-President Hubert — —

H. Humphrey in Washington, accused Humphrey of giving him ‘a politician's glib answer” concerning the Viet Nam con on”

student, Michael Smith- son, * of Manchester, England, was ‘one of six European college . students—four boys and two girls who questioned Hum- phrey in the transatlantic tele vision interview via Early Bird Satellite. Smithson, starting off with the

oe} first question, said:

“American military action is steadily being increased in Viet Nam. Will the United States stop short of all-out war, pos- sibly with Red China?”

Humphrey answered:

“Well, our desire is surely not to accelerate this conflict. Our desire . . . is for unconditional | discussions to bring peace to all * of Viet Nam and also. . . eco- nomic and social development

. for the entire area of Southeast

Asia.

“I would say, in direct answer that the gov- ernment of the United States

surely does not contemplate nor

; does it seek to have any major

conflict, anything that would jeopardize the peace of the

“ world.”*

Smithson responded:

“It seems to me, vice-presi- that your just giving a politician's glib answer and that every additional force that you - put into Viet Nam_ merely _Means.._.that---the~~- Communist
