OTTAWA (CP)--The word nig- ser probably will disappear from Canadian maps in the near future and. squaw may not be far behind,

The Camadian Permanent Committee of Geograp'- ical Names has announced it has agreed unanimously that places like Nigger Rapids, Que., should be replaced by unobjec- tionable names. But the actual changes are up to the provinces.

Rather than, simple substitu- tion of Negro for nigger,” the committee recommended alter- native names should be sough: from local residents of the af- fected areas.

“We were less than unani- Mous about the word squaw,’

@aid Dr. J. K. Fraser, executive |

eecretary of the committee and chief of e hntiemdp’siraeesnmt chief of the mines department's

toponymy (study of place names) division. “Some members felt ft was

mot always objectionable, but tts use will be studied.”

The decision at Monday's an- nual meeting was prompted py a complaint about derogatory geographical names by Louis Fine of Toronto, chairman of

the Ontario Human Rights Com mission.

Provinces have the final say on all names within their bound- aries but since all provinces have representatives on the fed- eral - provincial committee ac- tion on removal of the word nig- ger is expected to be promet. The same may not apply to the word squaw because all repre- sentatives did not agree.

Dr. Fraser said most of the names using nigger were xt least 75 years old and there are few records of any personal con-

Lection. The word nigger appears 16 times in Canadian maps, al-

though only one. Nigger Rapids, Que., is a settlement Most of the connections are with geo- graphical features.

Eight of the 18 names are in Ontario, with five in British Co- lumbia, three in Quebec and one each in Alberta and New Brunswick.

Niggerhead is used three times, all in the Yukon.

Negro is used in 14 Canadian names, mostly in the Atlantic provinces with five each in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and two each im Ontario and B.C. The French equivalent, Negre, is used only once, in Quebec.

Que. Government Agencies Blamed For Business Delays

MONTREAL (CP) — Michele Sindona, a Milanese financier and banker with extensive busi- ness interests in Canada, says the industrial and commercial development of Quebec is being retarded through lack of co operation with investors on the part of provincial government agencies.

Quebec government agencies, he said, are not furnishing in- formation and adequate replies to financiers and industrialists who want to invest in Quebec. This is turning away important investment in the province, par- ticularly in the pulp and paper industry and in steel, he said.

Mr. Sindona first came to @anada in 1954 and since then he has invested heavily in Que- hec and elsehwere in Canada, particularly in real. estate. Among the projects in which he has been a major investor are the new Montreal Stock Ex- change building and a paper and pilp mill at South Nelson, NB.

While critical of the Quebec civil service, Mr. Sindona spoke highly of Quebec businessmen,

“The realization of projects in Quebec in which we have in- vested has always been effected easily and without problems when there has been no govern- ment involvement.

GETS LITTLE HELP “Unhappily, when we have sought to participate in the in-

dustrial development of Quebec, |

and at the same time gain per-

sonal profit, and have asked the’ co-operation of the government, |

we have not received concrete replies from” the authorities.”’

"Not that” his projects have been opposed, said Mr. Sindona.

“On the contrary, we are asked to come. ‘Come, come,’

_they say. But never a reply to our requests,

“We are not looking for par- ticular advantages, fiscal or oth- erwise. What we want is treat- mem equal to what we would get ‘in other provinces, other countries.

“We have asked the. govern- ment for assurances that the necessary facilities will be pro- vided for industries — such as seavorts, roads, electric power and so forth.

“There is simply no reply to these requests. And in general we have not even been able to get adeauate replies to requests for statistical information.”

Mr. Sindona, who is president or vice-president of some 30 ma- jor companies in Europe and

W. D, Loggie

North America, said Quebec {s an ideal place for investment.

Another advantage was the, ex- change of technical know.

The aim, he said, is the rational economic integration of countries, for the benefit of all.
