Firm Quebec Stand Seen UN Resolution By Britain By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) -- The govern- ment and the Bank of Canada reacted cautiously to Britain's devaluation of the pound. The central bank raised its re- discount rate to six per cent from five, effective today, and said it would continue "'to facili- tate the provision of adquate credit to meet the needs of sound economic expansion." Finance Minister Sharp said the government will maintain the Canadian dollar at its cur- rent exchange rate, the equiva- lent of 92% cents in U.S. funds, Britain's devaluation, he said, "resulted from special circum- stances affecting that currency --the pound sterling." While Mr. Sharp said the gov- ernment does not believe deval- uating the pound will have any substantial effect on Canada's international financial position, government officials were ex- pecting some slow-down in Ca- nadian exports of manufactured goods to the United Kingdom. Canadian exports to the U.K. about double Britain's sales to Canada, Last year, exports to Britain totalled $1,131,800,000 and imports were $644,700,000. Most recent figures show that Canadian exports to Britain to- talled $679,386,000 in the first seven months of this year, and just about half of these were fabricated materials, totalling $329,169,000. EXPECT EXPORT DECLINE The highest cost to Britain of goods imported from Canada and other non-sterling areas, to- gether with the other austerity measures taken by the U.K., may put a crimp in the govern- ment's target of Canadian ex- ports totalling $11,250,000,000 this year. At the new exchange rate, in- stead of Britons having to pay six shillings and eight pence to buy $1 of Canadian goods, they will have to pay a little over seven Shillings, nine pence. Hitherto it cost Canadians about $3 to buy a pound ster- ling's worth of British goods. Now they'll be able to get the Mr. Sharp said in a statement Saturday that under the present pattern of Canada's internation- al trade and payments, the Brit- ish action "would not have a substantial effect on Canada's international financial position." Because of greatly increased exports to other countries, Can- ada's market in Britain has shrunk to about one-tenth of this country's world market. RATE APPROPRIATE Mr. Sharp also said the gov- ernment believes the present® exchange rate on the Canadian dollar, at 92% cents U.S., is "'appropriate,"' and the govern- ment "'intends to maintain this rate." The 9244-cent Canadian dollar was established in May, 1962, and is held to within one per cent of that on a pledge given by Canada as a member of the International Monetary Fund. Pegging the Canadian dollar below par with the U.S. dollar meant Canadian goods were more easily sold on foreign markets, while imports were have for years been running at same goods for about $2.57. On "Propaganda Agency" ST. JOHNS, Que. (CP) -- Pre- mier Daniel Johnson has warned that Quebec intends to be firm with Ottawa to prevent the CBC from becoming a 'propaganda agency' for the federal government. The provincial premier said Saturday at the end of a three- day caucus of the ruling Union Nationale party the federal gov- ernment's new bill on broad- casting now before Parliament borders on fascism. Mr. Johnson criticized the bill because of a section that deals with the promotion of national unity, and said his government will try to obtain control of Ra- dio-Canada, the French-lan- guage network of the CBC. There can be no definition of national unity "without the presence on an equal basis of the French element," Mr. John- son said. "'We don't think an or- ganism like the CBC should pro- mote ideas which originate from one government. This is. quite close to fascism." He said the federal govern- ment in Canada is "Liberal and English-speaking, which is still worse," adding, "would you mind censoring that please." TOYS WITH TAKEOVER The premier said he has been toying with the idea of taking control of Radio-Canada for the last eight or nine months and that the idea was taken before the caucus which supported it wholeheartedly. Mr. Johnson said his stand at the Confederation of Tomorrow conference in Toronto Noy. 26-30 will reflect constitutional views of the Quebec population--not nale party. ri Asked at his post-caucus press conference whether it would be easier to reflect Quebec opinion by inviting the official Liberal |Opposition to form part of the Quebec delegation, the premier replied: "Which wing of the Liberal [dust views of the Union Natio- | He said he did not know where Opposition Leader Jean Lesage, head of the provincial Liberal party, stands on the constitutional question. \party shall I invite?" | The premier also said that |Sidbec, the government-backed steel company, has been author- steel-making assets of Dominion Steel and Coal Corp. outside the Maritime provinces.

Delegates expected that the vote would come late tonight. The three resolutions all would send a UN representative to the Middle East to seek set- tlement of issues left by the Arab-Israeli war in June, in- cluding withdrawal of Israeli troops from territory they seized.

These are the rates charged by the central banking authorities on short-term advances to the com- mercial banks-loans that they rarely need, The bank rate in Canada was last moved up, to five per cent from 414, in September. The rate then had become too low in relation to short-term money market rates. The bank rate is kept some- what above the short-term money market prevailing rates, so as to keep the banks from borrowing from the Bank of Canada and loaning on the com- mercial market to make money.
