Herb Gray to the minister with without ¬ out portfolio attached to the fi finance ¬ nance department where his special concerns will include fi financial ¬ nancial institutions The government now takes the view that the finance industry should be treated and pro protectedas ¬ tectedas a whole and not pice meal The main effect will be to speed up its efforts to devise policy for the Canadian

industrys ¬ dustrys study is complete It will probably limit the amount of foreign participation in the Bank of Canadas money market and seek provincial support for its proposed guidelines on take takeovers ¬ overs The government cannot move on its own because most invest investment ¬ ment dealers are provincially chartered Ottawa controls ac access ¬ cess to the list of 15 dealers that deal in treasury bills and enjoy rediscount facilities at the Bank of Canada But on its own it could not prevent a foreign owned dealer from buying and selling commercial paper in the money market One problem of the new policy may be to persuade the pro provinces ¬ vinces to go along The Parizeau commission on financial institu institutions ¬ tions advised the Quebec government recently that it should not restrict foreign take overs In the finance industry because it might thereby lose foreign capital Officials of the Traders Group were not available to comment this week on the deal that Mr Benson vetoed But one official is understood to have pleaded with the finance minister to let the bid go through When he announced the veto Mr Benson said the government considers it important to pre serve a significant Canadian- controlled element in the sales finance and loan indstury He wanted to set down rules to avoid another misunderstanding like the Mercantile Bank affair of 1966 whpn First

Trudeau knocked MONTREAL CP - Former prime minister John Diefenba ker said Tuesday Prime Minis Minister ¬ ter Trudeau s angry attack on Quebec separatists is an Ill-concealed attempt to boost Quebec

said Mr Trudeaus at attack ¬ tack was merely an attempt to disguise his governments fail ure to solve Canadas serious economic situation Mr Trudeau said Monday his attack on separatists particu particularly ¬ larly those in the Company of Young Canadians and the CBC was designed to stimulate ac tion and dialogue among Quebe cers and government depart departments ¬ ments Mr Diefenbaker said he saw no need to cut the budget for the French language netwjrk of the CBC to weed out separa separatists ¬ tists as the prime minister had suggested Its not necessary to burn down the whole house just to kill the lice He said State Secretary Ger Gerard ¬ ard Pelletler the federal minis minister ¬ ter responsible for the CBC is in a good position to know the real situation After all Mr Pelletlerswlfe is an emplojee there Of course thats just a coincidence But it certainly must provide him with a fine source of information The former Opposition leader criticized Mr Trudeau for maintaining a stentorian si lence and Mr Pelletier for his unctuous unconcern when the Conservatives asked for parlia parliamentary ¬ mentary investigation into the CYC before setting up a roval
