government legislation it has probably been the most offa gainonagaioFlnne idea that over entered the mind of cabinet minister in this case the mind of the Hon Walter Gordon The establishment of this corporation for the purpose pol investing some government by the small Canadian investor in Canadian enterprises new and old was promised in the first speech from the Throne present ed by Pearson government in May 1963 These were tbe 60 days of decision and the CDC was high on thetllst of legisla tion that must be passed in hurry But somehow the sense of urgency waned Mr Gordon himself was busy conducting his retreat from perhaps themost unpopular and certainly one of the most antiAmerican budgets in history The corporation was to have billion dollars to invest the government putting up $100 mil laterl through sale of shares to latcd through sale of shares to Canadians at $3 share with limit on the number of shares to be sold to anyindividual No shares would be sold to resid Tend To

endgave it an im portant place in his April bud get combination of business opposition and an election killed its chances that year and by December Mr Gordon was tcm porariiy out of the cabinet His successor hfr Sharp has never had any objection to the CDC as such buthe has objec tcd strongly to Mr Gordons concept on two grounds He does not believe it should be used as aweapon to prevent American investment in Cana dian industry finisvready enA ough to encourage moie Cana dian investment and thinks CDC might help but he is not putting any bars against the continued flow of needed capital across the border He also believed that ltlrt Gordon was putting far too much importance on the cor poration and its effectiveness So while the CDC appeared in the Throne Speech he has been careful to emphasize that there was no urgency Now Mr Pear son probably reflecting the views of Mr Gordon who is chairman of the cabinet com mittee on foreign investment has added that urgency LUANS

well as good intcrut must bepaid Or he can seek out partner CANADAS sroar ready to put his money into the business in return for shore of the profits and perhaps some seyln ninning it There is no doubt of Canadas need for money in the past and for con tinumg need if our standard of living is to be maintained We have leaned perhaps little too much to the partnershipdeal large portion of Canadian inc dusiry is owned or controlled by American companies But dol lors have no citizenship and re cent surveys hove shown that where UiS compani id die tale Canadian Wllcylit was in most cases to make profits in Canada and therefore good for Canada There is school of thought which urgesiihal Caiiadaa need for money should be satisfied by borrowing rather than alllow ing Ameficnns to increase their share of ownership in Canadian industry Can We afford it There is only one way to pay the interest on increased bor rowing and that is by increas ing output Without urgingCan adialt bonds held byAmérIcins more than doubled between 1954 and 1964 Since then the increase has been about 51 billions year Interest payments on for eign held bonds between 1965 and 1966 increased by 26 per cent Canadas output of goods and services in the same period increased by it per cent This may not mean we are headed for bankruptcy yet but no one will argue that it is good busi ness and the 1967 showing when Canadian output will notbe more than seven per cent and new borrowings will be higher should give the debt advocates some second thoughts Indians Wanted His Golden Hair By nos 30me
