Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JUNE M1, 1966 - PAGE 6 Tighter Reguiations Termed Unavoidable A little more than a year has passed since the $150 million Atian- tie Acceptance Corporation collaps- ed, It dragged down with it or seri- ously impaired a large number of companies with which it was re- lated---British Mortgage and Trust, with its head office at Stratford, was the best known of these -- and estimates of its losses have ranged upward from $60 million, Since then the affairs of this crumbled financial empire have he- come subject to a patient, painstak- ing study by a Royal Commission under Mr. Justice Samuel Hughes, The revelations being produced are ao far-reaching that the investiga- tion is expected to continue into 1967, and the commission report is not expected until 1968, In this situation----disclosures al- most daily before the commission of what seems to be shocking financial hijinks have so far been followed by little action--there may be a danger of giving Jess attention than is de- served to the continuing repercus- sions within the Canadian economy from the collapse of Atlantic, says The Welland Tribune, These are far-reaching, according to a recent review of the conse- quences of the Atlantic affair to date, by John M,. Lee in the New York Times. Among other things, Mr. Lee blames the way in which U.S. investors were badly burned by Atlantic's default--its 'confi- dence-shattering effect'---for the circumstances that they are now ...

That was the most perceptive speech head on Parliament Hill for many a long unhappy year, It was in fact the first speech heard in these past sorry years which rose above the level of erandal and par- tisan sirife, and discussed the great issues of the day which should be the overriding con- cern of our parliament Second, on the evening of the day when his resignation took effect, he was paid the well- deserved but perhaps unr equalled tribute of being in- vited as guest of honor al a farewell dinner, | cannot recall any venator or MP or cabinet minister enjoying an honor matching that of the modest meal and immodestly promi- nent role of hosts on that spon- taneous and remarkable occa- sion, This was no great party ban- quet, long prepared and stage- managed by the image-mould- ers of a political party in the banquet hall of the Chateau Laurier Hotel, It was, more simply, the first and the last meeting of what I called 'The CALF, Club," the group of Crerar's admirers and longtime friends SEVENTEEN GATHER Apart from the guest of honor, Senator Tom Crerar, the CALF. Club numbered 17, These included five men who had won election to the House of Commons under four differ- ent party labels---Liberal, Con- servative CCF and Progressive; five men who had been ap- pointed to the Senate; four who had been appointed to the cab inet: and five prominent former civil servants, It also included the dean of Canada's pariia- mentary writers, now retired, John Slevenson, and omer CA.L¥.'t--such as myself, the only still active member of the Press Gallery, That adds up ia more than 18 persons, because some, such as Tom Crerar him- self, fell into more than one category We met in a private room of Ottawa's famed Rideau Club, where dinner was followed by some remarkable extemporane- ous and unreportable speeches of a calibre seldom ape proached by today's practition= ers of parliamentary debate, The topics ranged heyond polit- ical reminiscences, including for instance a vivid refighting of the battle of Culloden--for strangely enough all the CALF.' except two boasted Seottish ancestry, And Tom himself added his quota by de- scribing how his family, a sect of the Mackintosh elan--whose tie of hunting tartan he proudly sported---acquired iis name im- mediately after and as a direct result of that infamous battle and its murderous mopping-up operation, OLD MEN REMEMBER Finally the old men -- most surely drawing the old age pen- sion except Health Minister Allan MacKachen and myself--- called it a night and went home, But not Tom Crerar, He gath- ered a group around him and initiated a post mortem on "Prime Ministers [ have known.' He named Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Robert Borden as the greatest, It was agreed that historians will not rate Mackenzie King highly; it is interesting to note that Tom Crerar sat in cabinet under hoth Borden and King Observing the dictum "de mortuis nil nisi bonum," £ will not refer to the judgments rene dered on Mackenzie King, who nevertheless managed to set up an unassailable record for the length of time he ruled as prime minister Rut Tom Crerar himself. set up a record on that last great night of his on Parliament Hill: it was not until the club was closed down for the night that he left to be driven home in my car, Restive Hill Peoples Pose Delicate Indian Problem Ry PETER JACKSON NEW DELHI (Reuters) Restive hill peoples on India's eastern borders are proving one of the government's most dif- ficult and delicate problems, The Nagas and the Mizos have openly rebelled and demanded independence, forcing the gov- ernment to send in the army to hold the territory Other hill peoples of Assam are pressing for a separate state of their own, and one of their leaders told parliament in Dethi that there could he risings there too All these peoples are sulfer- ing from the political changes and pressures of the modern world which have ended their former contented isolation While the central government has heen aware of the problem, progress toward solving it has been slow Communications and transport facilities are poor or non-exiat- ent and in many cases there are no outlets to markets, partly because the formation of Fast Pakistan in 1947 put an inter- national boundary across the normal channels, Many of the areas do not grow enough food to support their people, and the system of cultivation is usually the waste- ful method of clearing a patch of jungle, growing crops for a few years until the soil is ex- hausted, and then moving on, WITHOUT WORK In much of the hill avea, peo- ple are virtually without work for four or five months of the year Politically, the hill peoples re- sent the domination of the As- samese of the Brahmaputra Valley which has come about with Indian independence, The former British rulers treated them separately from the rest of India and kept contact to the minimum Only one part .of the Naga areas came within Assam, The yest was administered directly from Delhi, After several years of trying to persuade the Indian government that they were inde. pendent and not part of India the Nagas Jaunched a rebellion, Apart fram the military ef- fort to crush the revolt, the gove ernment formed a new state of Nagaland in December 1063, But this has not satisfied the rebels, who are holding out for independence The other hill tribes have al- ways been part of Assam, But since the early 19508 they have been pressing for a special hill state, The states reorganization commission in 1955 considered the demand to be opposed to the true interests of the hill people FORM CONFERENCE In 1960, when the Assam leg islature passed a bill making Assamese the official state Jan- guage, the hill peoples were in- censed, The All Party Hill Lead- ers' Conference was formed to continue the political fight for a hill state The late Jawaharlal Nehru conceded that the hill peoples had special problems and sug gested a pattern of administra: tion which would give them a large measure of control of their own affairs, ym GOOD EVENING vA NNN HM By Jack Gearin Time Ripe For Municipal Set-Up Reforms Did you notice that City news item? City Council deliberated 30 minutes last Friday, It then held a 10-minute session with this result --- a whopping 340, 000 was slashed from the pro- posed $1,350,000 Oshawa Cen: tennial project at the Civie Auditorium Did somebody ask why Coun- eil can't repeat such perform: ances far more often? At any rate, the $340,000 slash Hlustrates at least two things this Jet-age in which we live can be fast and elected repre sentatives at the municipal level can wield great power, if they want to use it Municipal business today' Is big business in a fast-changing world, more so than ever be- fore The poor taxpayer fs still pretty lethargic about it all, es pecially when it comes time to vote and voice an opinion nevertheless, a. strong new movement ia noticeable across the Province these days with a highly « commendable objective as its target -- ie. the drastic overhaul of Ontario's archaie municipal system designed some 100 years ago for the horse- and-buggy age ( all of which is mentioned without prejudice to 'council's performance last Friday) Dr. Lorne R. Cumming (spe- cial adviser to. Municipal Af- fairs Minister J, W, Spooner) told a group of Oshawa alder men, trustees and civic officials recently "We have a good system of municipal government at the present time, perhaps as good as any on the continent, but it would be fatal to assume we have the best."

PRESS Watson Kirkeonnell, retired president of Acadia Univers: ity, Wolfville, N.S., has been writing poetry for a lifetime He does not rank high among anthologista because his style is that of Tennyson and Rob- ert Service rather than of T, §. Eliot or Robert Lowell, This does not bother Prof, Kirkconnell one bit, He goes on writing what he wants to write and by now has pro- duced perhaps thousands of lines of original verse and 5,° 000 pages of translations, Centennial Tales and Se- lected Poems (University of Toronto Press for Acadia Uni- versity), is the first compre- hensive anthology of his car- eer, It includes a number of recent poems and reproduces chosen pieces from earlier publications dating back to 1990, More than 500 pages long, it includes translations fram no fewer than 49 lan- guages and dialects As a Canadian poet, Prof, Kirkeonnell has always lived in the shadow of BE.

This is a bill which will give Highways Minister Charles MacNaughion personal powers of exproprina- tion for the new Toronto Com- muter service, PROVISION RUMOVED The initial legislation, passed Jast year, required that any expropriations should have the approval of cahinet, The amendment knocks out that pro- vision, Two explanations have been given for the legislation: one that Mr. McNaughton already had similar powers under the Highway Improvement Act; and two, that sometimes there was a need for quick action in ex- propriations, In other words two wrongs were adding up to # right, This legislation makes it ob- vious we still have to really get at the guts of the expropriation question The MeRuer going to do this It is to go deeply into the principles of compensation, But it isn't going to study the prine ciples of expropriation itself. STUDIED BY COMMITTEE A select committee did pure portedly study this m few years ago, But it really didn't get into the essential question of right and wrong. It didn't stand up to the basie question of public rights and propose any positive guidelines for protection of these rights, And a select committee prob- ably never could do this, It is composed of members of the legislature and is too close to government and the practices of government, There would seem to he a def.
