Urges Probe Of New Brunswick Liquor Situation FREDERICTON ICP) - Legis- -lature committee investigation of all aspects of the New Brunswick liquor situation was urged in the legislature Wednesday by George E. Mclnerney (PC-Saint John City). The Saint John barrister, who sits on the government side of the House, spoke in the throne speech debate. He called on fellow legislators to "face facts" and said the liquor question was the responsibility of the assembly-not of any group, commission or government. Mr. Mclnerney said the only way to handle the matter was for the legislature to set up an inves- tigating committiee. He expressed concern that no lnister of the crown assumed responsibility for actions of the New Bruntwick liquor control board. Similarly, he said, the gov- ernment as a whole assumed no iesponsibility but seemed to feel that the board operated independ- ently. Donald Harper (L - Westmor- land) criticized the government's handling of the Beechwood power l I l i development. The other throne speech debater Wednesday.

Addressing the Consumer Credit Conference here. the Chrysler chief executive criticized the fact that tistringeot action taken by the Central Banking Authority in Washington was coordinated with identical action by our own bank- in,; people in Canada."

"When we took parellel action to restrict consum- er credit. the per capital consum- er debt burden in the United Stat- es was 0235.00 and ours was only 5150.00" he pointed out. Mr. Todgham described the pre- sent atandard of living on this con- tlnent as "the direct and inevit- able result of the wise and Judic- ious use of consumer credit, part- lcularly as it applies to instal- ment buylng. which we have de- veloped on this continent.
