We think they can do this only by having trade unions that are strong and free and independent.” Status Quo At Its Best A Government agency sent out a request to all cities, asking in- formation on what was being done to protect the communities against H-bomb attacks.

We have a chamber of commerce which has repelled everything new in the past 50 years.” DUNCAN BUSINESS GUIDE LOUTET AGENCIES LTD. INSURANCE AND REAL ESTATE Duncan Lake Cowichan J.

In that publication was a vicious article attacking the John Birch Society. When a magazine can attack a patriotic organization like the John Birch Society that is carrying freedom of the press too far. I think the Con- gressional Record should be investigated and if it is found to be un- American it should be suppressed.” IWA REGIONAL 1ST VICE-PRESIDENT, Jack Moore addressing the members of Local 1-80, IWA, in the IWA Hall, Duncan.

Chartered banks are required to maintain cash reserves in the Bank of Canada equal to eight per — cent of their deposits. To increase the funds of the bank- ing system, the Bank of Canada buys government securities in the open market and pays for them with its own cheques. These cheques are deposited by the individuals who sold the securities at the chartered banks, whereupon they are returned to the Bank of Canada. If the Bank of Canada desires to reduce the money supply it reverses this procedure, and sells securities. The Fiscal Agent Although money management is the bank’s most important function, it also acts as the fiscal agent for the Federal Government. It handles bond issues, and cheques made payable to the Receiver-General. It issues new currency and destroys worn-out bills. he Governor has always exer- cised extraordinary powers in making decisions about the volume of money in circulation. He has had power to over-rule decisions of the Board of Directors, although any such veto must be referred to the Cabinet. When founded, it was intended that the Bank of Canada should be free to manage the country’s money without political pressures. In its early days, the late Hon, C. A. Dun- ning, Minister of Finance said; “In the long run,, the bank in its perform- ance of a vital sovereign function must be responsible to the sovereign will expressed through a government. There cannot be two sovereigns in a single state”.
