NOT INSURED Speaking to the motion, St. John said the deputy provin- cial treasurer and provincial auditors had co-operated ‘with the committee fully. He said the committee found that the bonds were not insured and there was not even a slip from the baok to show that they were there.

Gives Report OTTAWA (CP)—The Bank of Canada has virtually advised the government to end deficit financ- ing and balance its next budget if it wants to eliminate inflation fears in Canada. At the same time, bank gov- ernor James E. Coyne, summing up che monetary situation in his annual report to Finance Minister Fiéming, criticized those- who be- lieve a little inflacion is necessary to feed the economy and provide more jobs. Such a theory, he said in his Teport tabled in the Commons Thursday, is in danger of becom- ing ‘the great economic fallacy of the day.” Inflation eventually destroyed more jobs than it created. FIGHT INFLATION AT HOME Canadians could do‘ little about inflation imported from abroad but they could use restraints to fight inflation born at home. The alternative would be rising prices and loss of foreign markets ‘with serious consequences for every- As for the present situation, Mr. Coyne suggested the infla- tion psychosis—the fears of in flation—may prove to have been exaggerated, “‘particularly if ap- propriate steps may be expected to be taken to overcome govern- ment deficits.” He did ‘not gpell out what these Reporters were told Mr. Coyne Was recovering fram pneumonia in Florida and was unavailable for further comment. However, other experts suggested deficits could be overcome in a variety of ways—higher taxes, lower fed- eral spending, expansion of the economy, or a combination of these moves. Mr. Coyne said that while the Canadian economy has recovered from recession, bond prices have dropped and interest rates have climbed partly because of inves- tors’ fears that large-scale gov ~ ernment deficits and pressures on costs and prices “were signifl- cant omens of potential future inflation on a langer scale.” Now as Canada and the United States swept into higher econo mic growth, the pressure for loans may’ rise as industry com- petes with government for -avail- able credit. “At some stage,” said Mr. Coyne, “the competition for such funds may become acute, al though the development of this kd of problem for ‘borrowers would be reduced or delayed if the present concern of investors about the possibility of inflation were allayed, for they would ‘then be more ready to invest money | which they are at present hold- ing uninvested in unusually large quantities.” OTHER ISSUES On other issues, Mr. Coyne said: 3 1. The huge victory loan con- version campaign of 1958 was beneficial in that it, lengthened the term of the national debt and was “an essential anti-inflation ary achievement.” 2. Expansion of the country’s money supply was justified and unavoidable in overcoming “‘seri- ous problems” in connection with government financing. 3.

Prince) when the O’Leary member reminded the House that the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee at Ottawa-was an Opposition mem- ber. He noted -that Dr. Dewar had criticized the Provincial Trea-. surer for his deficit budget which he referred to as an election bud-| | get. “If we were following Ot- tawa’s example we would not bring down a budget: at ail—at least that ig what Diefenbaker did before the last election,” he said. ~ Continuing, he noted‘ that Mr. Diefenbaker had promised ‘hat he personally would not see any- one suffer in Canada, “but while people queued up in breadlines, he was travelling around the world. ‘‘He has already travélled more than any Prime Minister of Canada—it didn’t seem that he cared how much the people suf- fered’, said Mr. Douglas DISAPPOINTED The member from second Kings said he was disappointed , with Dr. Dewar’s speech. He claimed he had made much better speech- @s when the Liberals were in power’at Ottawa, “but last night he couldn’t seem to get a foot under him,” he said. Mr. Douglas referred to the western wheat growers march on Ottawa and suggested that the P:E.I. potato growers would be justified in making a similar march. : He said the wheat growers were looking for deficiency pay- ments on the last three years crop. “I am sure we are just as as they are..We were told by the agricultural council that it costs and with potatoes today Selling at 3 cents a bushel, if this doesn’t represent a deficiency, ‘ Feice know wiiat does,” said Douglas. © . MR. HARVEY DOUGLAS “When Dr. Dewar talks about us cooperating with Ottawa, If wonder what he wants us to do,” Mr. Douglas continued. “Last spring we got our potato bins all measured up and inspected and then waited for thrée or four months before we got paid.” “Last year the Ottawa govern- ment proposed a road building scheme for the province and before we ever got a cent, we built 37 miles of pavement, how_ much cooperation do they want,”~ he asked.
