bution to the address

He is the undoubted. spokes-
man of big business in the
Diefenbaker government.

As an appointed Senator he
is also not responsible to Par-
liament for his actions.

The report recommended

a centralization of govern-
ment business, centred mainly
around the defence and pub-
lic works departments and a
transfer to private industry of
$50 million worth of goods
and services now being han-
dled annually by the federal
government.

In addition it proposed the:

sale to private enterprise of
two of the biggest govern-
ment-owned corporations —
Eldorado Mining and Refin-
ing Ltd. and Polymer Corp.
Ltd.

If these are sold their buy-
ers would take over profit-
able plums which have been
financed out of the taxpay-
ers’ pockets.

The report also proposed a
body-blow to the _ publicly-
owned Canadian Broadcast-
ing Corp., the victim of many
jabs by the “free enterpris-
ers’ of late.

It said the CBC, and the
National Film Board, had re-
tarded the development of
private film facilities, and
this must be brought to an
end. More film-making should
be done by private concerns,
the report said.

Other areas where the gov-
ernment was told to cut down
its activities in the interests
of free enterprise included
the operation of the Queen’s
Printer’s department, aircraft
maintenance and garage oper-
ations.

At the same time the gov-
ernment was urged to get rid
of all its ‘‘surplus” real es-
tate to private developers
who might be able to utilize
it more profitably.

The report showed clearly
the extent to which state-
monopoly capital was being
used in Canada to prop up
the capitalist system. By its
recommendations state-owned
industry and plant would be
geared to serve the interests
of private capital at a time
when the economy, under
private ownership, is stag-
nating. It even carried this as-

5 lassco proposals offer $50
illion plom to private firms

sistance to an ultimate degree
by proposing to sell to private
ownership two big state-own-
ed corporations.

The Glassco recommenda-
tions were allegedly to bring
about economies in govern-
ment by the use of more “ef-
ficient’”’ private enterprise to
overcome certain bureaucratic
practices in government that
the report uncovered.

But it wag clear that any
such practices could be over-
come without resource to
“free enterprise.’ On the con-
trary, it is private ownership
of the means of production,
dominated by the giant U.S.

M._W. McCUTCHEON, tycoon
and former vice-president of
the giant E. P, Taylor Argus
Corporation, will make sure
the Commission report is act-
ed on in the interests of big
business. He was appointed
by Prime Minister Diefen-
baker to “implement” the
report.

monopolies, that is at the root
of Canada’s economic difficul-
ties.

To stimulate a growing
economy, not less public own-
ership is needed, but miore. In
the first place this should in-
clude the nationalization of
U.S.-owned industry in this
country and its use in the in-
terests of Canada and not in
the interests of American
monopoly profiteers and their
subsidiary Canadian counter-
parts.

Such nationalization should
be democratic and under ef-
fective popular control so that
it does not play the role of
big business as advocated in
the Glassco report.
