Rockefeller and Robert P. MacFadden in the Mercantile affair. Mr. Rasminsky tabled a doc- ument before the Commons fi- nance committee that suggested the First National City Bank of New York went into its 1963 purchase of the Mercantile Bank of Canada with eyes open. Mr. Rockefeller, Citi- bank chairman, and Mr. Mac- Fadden, a Citibank vice-presi- dent, gave their versions last week of circumstances sur- rounding the Mercantile deal. Finance Minister Sharp was present to hear the central bank governor contradict much of the Citibank evidence in a case testing proposed legislation to halt the growth of Mercantile, a wholly-owned subsidiary. TAKES ISSUE The governor took issue with these statements by the Citi- bank executives: --That they had not promised to clear the purchase of Mer-| ,; cantile with Walter Gordon, then. finance minister. --That they did not know of Mr. Gordon's strong views against foreign ownership of Canadian banking before their meeting with him July 18, 1963. --That the decision on the deal had been made irrevo- cably by July 18. --That the meeting itself was set up only on July 16, 1963.

Mr. Rockefeller also told the committee last week that prior to July 18 Citibank was not aware of Mr. Gordon's views on foreign ownership.
