Full regular disclosure of profit, price and cost affairs by all private and public com- panies in retail trade, whether owned by Canadian or foreign interests, Senator Croll told reporters he thinks there is "'a lot of com- mon sense in the committee's recommendations," and added: "In my opinion, the govern: ment ,"'is sympathetic and will be interested." Since the committee's work started, the price line on food has been held and "vast em- pires of corporate holdings" have been disclosed that should have been public knowledge long ago, he said. Senator Croll spoke of the Weston empire, controlling more than one-third of Canada's food business, and said: "When a.man or a group of men sit there with an empire about them, I, feel there is at likely the Garfield Weston in- terests will be called back be- fore the committee, but he is undecided whether the «ize of food chains has a direct bene- ficial or adverse cifect on prices, NDP NOT SATISFIED New Democratic Party mem- bers of the committee issued a press release regretting the committee did not recommend adoption of the NDP proposal \for a prices review board, is in a mood to do something been discussed. with the govern-/ witnesses ment in advance, the govern: favored the prices review and all--including the Canadian Labor Congress -- "turned thumbs down on it."
