MacLean UNDEETAKII - EMBALMIB Charlottetown su North Wiltshire Phone 14| , E ss Acting Finance Minister, in which he declared that he consid- ered it of vital importance to the new venture that it should be pri- vately owned. In so doing the Prime Minister emphasised most strongly the danger of political in- iterfcrence in appointment if the Bank of Canada was a government- owned institution. What, asked the Prime Minister. were the considerations which any government was asked to place first and foremost in making ap- pointments. " st," he said, “the question is ssk , ‘what are his pol- itics?"' There were cries and pro- tests if one of an opposite political faith to the govemment in power ‘was selected as the most efficient msn for s. position. Then, the ques- tion arose of representation of both races; next came the point of re- ligion; then whether or not occu- pation had been considered, if the labor or agricultural elements were represented. Thus it went on until the question of efficiency and cap- ability were completely buried. This was one danger-of s pub- licly-owned institution, argued the Prime Minister-the danger of pol- itical interference in appointment. With the exceptions of Australia, Bulgaria, Finland. Latvia, and Rus- `sis. all the countries of the world *which had central banks followed `ths principle set down in the bill. the Prime Minister stated. It was the sincere desire of the govern- ment to give to the people of Can- ada the most efficient instrument which could be obtained. He believ- ed on his honor that he would fail in his duty if he yielded to argu- ments sgainst the system laid down in the bill. The Prime Minister stated some- thing new when he infonned the committee that it was proposed to consider reducing from 50 to 25 the number of shares which could be held by s single person. This step was contemplated in view of a de- sire to ensure that the shares would be widely held in the Dominion. l-Ie also defended the provision for tak- ing over gold at par or official valuation by saying that Every country in the world but Greece had done this.
