Ee » Anti- Further Debate » - r » Is Anticipated Before Law Passes « Ottawa (CP) -- The government as completed another step in its lans to make it illegal for man- rin. to set the retail prices their products. © After three weeks of stormy dis- 'cussion, a special parliamentary committee placed before the Com- mons yesterday a report approving Jroposed government legislation to ban resale price maintenance. . It also recommended vigorous action to enforce a section of the Criminal Code dealing with price- cutting aimed-at killing off com- tition. This brought from George ew, Progressive Conservative leader, the comment that it implied the Criminal Code is not being enforce ced. He hoped, he said, that Justice Minister Garson noted this "'impli- cation," but Mr. Garson made no ) reply. Resale price maintenance is the practice whereby the manufact- urer or supplier sets the price at ich his product will be sold to ne general public. ~ It has been sharply criticized by eonsumer and farm organizations, but strongly defended by manu- facturers and retailers who arned during the committee's blic sessions that if price main- nance is made illegal, price wars may break out and new monopolies be created, pushing prices to high- er levels. The committee in its report, pre- pared behind closed doors, said it d not believe price wars would reak out, but that in any case the enforcement of the Criminal Code would deal with that problem. However, if these price wars did fictually emerge, it recommended the government give the matter further consideration, with the pos- {sii of developing * further amendments to the Combines In- vestigation Act. In preparing its report, the com- mittee defeateed two motions, one of which dealt specifically with pre- datory price - cutting, or 'loss leaders" as they are known in the trade. A motion by David Croll (L--To- ronto Spadina) was defeated on the grounds that members could not agree how to define a 'loss leader' and were not too sure that legislation against it could be en- forced. The other motion, by E.D. Ful- ton (PC -- Kamloops), was to have the committee bung in a re- pert recommending that the whole Subjects be given further considera- on, POOR OLD SANTA New York (AP) -- Santa Claus rubbed his aching knees today. He doesn't mind holding the kid- dies on his lap, but when grown- up start plopping there--well, it's hard on his Christmas cheer. From half a dozen department stores; the Santas reported that for some strange reason adults are bouncing onto the red-suited knees as gleefully as the young- sters. "One distinguished old gentle- man got up on my lap--must have weighed 200," said one Santa. "Explained he wanted pictures to send his nieces to prove that he and Santa were pals." "One woman returned seven times to sit on my knee," said another. "I guess he was the lonesome type -- and she wanted me for Christmas." Your Vote and Influence Requested TO RE-ELECT C.A.

DECEMBER 8, 1951 PAGE THIRTEEN In Schedule 0f Delegate By NORMAN AN ALTSTEDTER Canadian Press Staff Writer Paris (CP) -- The work day of a Canadian delegate to the Unifed Nations' assembly leaves little time for fun -- even in Paris. bi} Maurice Bourget, civil en- gineer and Liberal member of par- liament for Levis, had any mis- conceptions about a diplomat's way of life, they are corrected the hard way. He's been working a 12- hour day, representing Canada in two U. N. assembly committees in emergencies. Bourget said in an interview that he Inew little about the U. N. be- fore his appointment to the Cana- dian delegation to the sixth assem- bly. But since opening day Nov. 6 he has dived into the intricacies of both the economic and budget- ary committees, where he has spoken as Canada's representative. He approved highly of the sys- tem of appointing M. P.'s to Cana- dian delegations. He feels it gives them a better understanding of the problems of international rela- tions. , There are four M.P.'s and one senator now on the Canadian del- egation. All political parties are expected to be represented on the delegation with scheduled switches in personnel coming after Christ- mas. The M.P.'s attempt to keep in touch also with what's happening in Canada and their constituencies in particular. That's how Bourget starts his working day. At about 8:30 a.m. he reads his correspondence, which includes a report from his secre-| tary in Ottawa. | At 9:30 he attends the daily | meeting of all members of the Canadian delegation, where the | representative in each committee | outlines to the others what hap- ened in his particuar committee the day before and what will be coming up. That meeting usually lasts an hour. Then the delegates and ad- visers are driven to the Palais de Chaillot for the assembly meetings.

An expert on music publishing and copyrights, Laurie is the librarian for the Winnipeg ,sym- phony orchestra and also for the prairie region of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation here. Since he started the CBC lib- rary here in 1937 he has filed away 40,000 titles, but there's a new stack of music waiting in the mailbox every day, and he still gets surprises. One such was an envelope post- marked Octacamund, 8. dia, which arrived at his desk con- taining 42 selections from the works of N. Portbandar, the maha- rajah of Portbandar. The Indian potentate said he was sending along his compositions in order to promote understanding and appreciation of Oriental music in the western world. Thompson played a few of the pieces and found them easy to listen to, but not particularly Oriental in style. Now 45, Thompson is an expert pianist who has to be coaxed to perform, although he once played piano in top Canadian and Ber- muda bands. GENTLE ANSWERS He deals gently with aspiring amateur song writers. One such was a farmer from Prince Albert, Sask. "He had $200 and a song, so he came to see me," says Thompson. "I was to be his agent -- get it published, played and appreci- ated." But after studying the offering, Thompson advised the farmer- composer to return to his farm and treasure his masterpiece in the library of his home, instead of Wasting it on an unresponsive pub- ic. The song - writing business is big and complicated, says Laurie, and the amateur who manages to get a song on the hit parade is one in a million. He also warns against operations of certain 'song sharks" who Price Fixing Legislation Is Shen To Commons make a good living from amateur composers. Such erafters a. easy to re. cognize, he says, because no legiti- mate song publisher asks for fees or advertises for new songs.
