Cabinet ponde . OTTAWA (CP) — Two years after Prime Minister Trudeau announced wage and price controls, the cabinet is pondering the Future of the program that critics now say has become a millstone weighing down the economy. Trudeau proposed the threeyear program in a television address Oct. 13, 1975, when the 12-month inflation rate was running at 10.6 per cent and unem- ployment was at. a seasonallyadjusted rate of 7.1 per cent. Two years later, the in- flation rate is 8.4 per cent, the jobless rate is 8.3 per cent and the government is heading toward an $8-billion deficit. As well, the economy is . struggling toward a two-per- cent real growth rate for the year and critics say lack of confidence in Canada by investors at home and abroad has driven the dollar down to an eight-year low. Only one snag in Queen’s visit OTTAWA CP-The only obvious snag in Col. David Currie’s arrangements for the Queen’s visit,which begins today was his decision, later revoked, to let security staff on Parliament Hillk wear Special badges marked Que n's Jubilee in English only. French-speaking guards ined to compla Quebec MPs who complained to Com- mons eaker James Jerome t the badges were not in two official languages, French and English. The badges were ordered removed last week. “Those badges were approved by the Queen for olice forces to wear ngthis particular jubilee year and the boys thought they’dlike to wear them so I ‘ot them some,” Currie said in a interview Thursday. Cc s’ t ne rt Sergeant-at-Arms, is in charge of about 1,00 P arli ament members, including hun- dreds of security guards. Commons clerk Alistair Fraser noted in an interview that the RCMP decided not to wear the English-only badges. The government’s bilingualism policy should at least by practised at Parliament, where the law was made, Fraser said. Nuclear payoffs can OTTAWA, (CP) .—. Allan Lawrence, . the. Progressive Conservative energy critic, said Thursday he feels $2.4 million paid to unknown agents in the sale of a nuclear reactor to Ar- entina can be traced . through Swiss bank ac- counts. Lawrence, who last year headed the Commons public Currie said that because the Queen did not com- mission bilingual badges, he cannot get them especially made for the 25th an- niversary year of her reign; including her six-day visit in Ottawa. He would not comment on the necessity of bilingualism on theb adges but said all police forces in Comm- monwealth countries swear allegiance to the Queen and "that’s whee it’s sort of nebulous-your're under the Queen in the sense. Queen Elizabeth’s ac- tivities on Parliament Hill begin Sunday morning when she attends an interfaith jubilee thanksgiving service outdoors. Cardinal Maurice Roy, primate of the Roman Catholic church, will present the Queen to clergyment from eight other denominations. She attends a luncheao on Parliament Hill on Monday and opens Parliament on Tuesday, reading the speech. from the throne, and attends a dinner and reception in ’ Parliament's Centre Block. Currie said the dining ar- rangements “put: a load on our restaurant people.” However, the fact that the een is opening Parliament for the first time in 20 years is regarded as “just another day although accounts committee that in- vestigated the payment, said he does not agree with government statements that . the money cannot be traced to the sales agent. Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., the government-owned nuclear promoting agency, paid the money into a Swiss nk account held by a firm - Money can’t buy unity OTTAWA (CP) — Con- sumer. Affairs Minister Warren Allmand rejected today. suggestions that improved economic con- ditfons would bring the de- mise of separatism in ebec, Allmand, who represents the largely nglish- speaking Montreal riding of FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) — American Jeffrey Swann and six other pianists were named finalists in the Van Cliburn plano com- petition Wednesday night. The other finalists . are Alexander Mndoyants and Alexander Toradze of the Soviet Union, Christian Blackshaw and Ian Hobson of Britain, Steven Degroote of South Africa and Michel- Jean-Jacques Dalberto of France. Notre-Dame-deGrace, said as he entered a cabinet meeting that nationalism can arise either when economic times are good or Oppesition spokesmen, in- cluding Progressive Con- servative Leader Joe Clark and Ed Broadbent, the New Democratic Party Leader, have suggested economic troubles have led to’ the growth of Quebec sep- aratism. Allmand said it is “not true at all” -that if. the c ountr’y’ problems were resolved national unity difficulties could be cured. . “Tt is right to improve the economy, but that wan't make separatism go away,” he said. Allmand said the cabinet has recently been spending ‘‘a lot of extra hours” on the economy, there is extra work in- volved.” ALMOST ROUTINE “You know, this place being what it is, we’ve had many dignitaries here over the years— President Nixon, President Kennedy— and we've had enough ople here long enough so hat things are almost routine,” he said. Still, apparently small details in those routines count. For example, the Queen will travel by carriage Tuesday up the oneway road on Parliament Hill in the opposite direction that vehicles normally travel. This is to ensure that when she gets out of the carriage she will be facing a Guard of Honor. Organizers of the Queen’s visit released a booklet Thursday outlining her activities in detail. Meanwhile, members of the executive of the Parliamentary Press Gallery passed a motion complaining that Canadian reporters in London for June 25 Jubilee celebrations were not given the same access to the Queen that foreign reporters will have to the Queen here. The motion said the executive deplores limitations that will be placed on Canadian reporters here to ac- be traced registered in Liechtenstein, a tiny: Evropean country’ ’ widely’ known as a fax haven. - The money was deposited on the instructions of Italimpianti, a Genoa engineering firm that was a partner with AECL in the Argentinian sale. Italim- pianti arranged for the agent but now will not say who it was. Lawrence said he visited Europe during the Com- mons recess to do some investigating on his own. He says as a result he believes the money can he traced. The information probably could be obtained if Ottawa made a formal request to the Swiss banks, the Swiss government or started criminal proceedings here . and then sought help from Swiss courts, the MP for © Northumberland-Durham said some suggestions on what witnesses to call if the Commons committee resumes, as he expects, the investigation. He said that while chairman he received legal advice that a new reference would be needed from the Commons to extend the ' investigation into the new session nwt i Parliament opening Tuesday. ‘ But he said he was assured in a letter from Deputy Prime Minister Alan’ MacEachen that a new reference is not needed.

COVERAGE DIVIDED , The Queen’s media booklet says in situations where only a_ limited number of reporters or photographers can watch the Queen, ‘‘coverage will be divided” between Canadian and foreign media of national network and wire service agencies. Earlier, a spokesman for Gov.-Gen. Jules Leger said . the Governor-General has, for the first time, sent a message to the Queen before she departs for Canada, wishing her a “safe and pleasant flight.” ~ The Queen’s agenda also - includes several official luncheons, a gala concert at the National Arts Centre, a national football game, a state dinner at Government House, museum visits, a. tour of city hall, an RCMP training display and-a performance by school children. _ Sunday night she is t make a nationally-televised speech to the country that is expected, like the throne speech, fo contain an appeal for national unity.

BACK CONTROLS Opinion polls suggest the rogram has broad public cking with some businessmen, especially at the small-enterprise level. High-level —_ government advisers are cautioning that inflation is still the priority problem for the economy, eading to a decline of Canadian competitiveness and thereby to unem- ployment. They have ad- vised care in removal of the program. @ cabinet was to meet today to discuss these views and attempt to reconcile them—as well as working out technical matters for the ‘third year of the program beginning Friday. inance Minister Jean Chretien has promised he will make a statement on’ the future of the program this month, likely in the throne speech debate following the opening of a new session of Parliament* next week. The government has a range of options for endin the program. The schedul termination date is Dec, 31, 1978. But among earlier dates that have been discussed are Jan. 2, March 3t aind Oct. 14 next year.

Food prices were the key in both cases, dropping or remaining stable in the first year but leading an in- creasing inflationary trend in the next 12 months. The $.4-per-cent 12-month rate registered last month is well above the six-percent target the government had hoped or. The failure of the program to hold down prices has created one difficulty the cabinet will be trying to resolve in its meeting today. Anti-inflation regulations allow pay raises in the third ear of the program to equal our cent basic protection factor plus two per cent for productivity and an additional amount by which the 12-month inflation rate in the second program year exceeds the six-per- cent target. But that could allow workers raises in the third year larger than those permitted in the second year, contrary to the gov- emment g of sealing down inflation over the three years. TACKLES PROBLEM The cabinet is wrestling with the problem of whether to reduce the allowable pay- increase - limits: and must also decide whether to - relax, toughen or leave untouched profit and divi- dend limits.
