aWhat do you think of the prin-
Zple, or lack of principle, of using
meone else’s money to pay pri-
te debts? If a person in private
dustry used the company’s money
gear this purpose we would think

mat it was wrong. If a trade union
ficial were to take the organiza-
mon's funds for his own use we
ould raise strong voices in pro-
mast... . But, in politics we don’t
mem to care too much one way
¢ the other. —

mm When Mr. Pearson came to of-
e we were to have the fresh,
mew look in politics. Out with the

‘Just the other day the Prime
Sminister announced the appoint-

ment of a number of senators all
meat. one of whom were active Lib-
Serals. The exception was a Liberal
a just not active, even though
Sue was touted as B.C. Liberal lead-

rial election,

Ever since the senate was esta-

A pointments have been from among

Among the latest coterie is one
Keith Davey, former national or-
ganizer for the Liberal party. Mr.
Davey is one of those who, along
with former Finance Minister Gor-
don, gave the prime minister such
bad advice about calling last fall's
election. Mr. Gordon resigned
from the cabinet driven by his
own conscience. Mr. Davey went
to the senate driven by no ¢on-
science.

When Mr, Diefenbaker was
prime minister he did the same
thing with one Allister Grosart.
Mr, Grosart was the Tory national
organizer and received his appro-
priate reward for faithful service.
I only pick Mr. Grosart and Mr.
Davey as being two of a kind and
representative of the recipients of
this costly welfare plan operated
by prime ministers.

This system of using your money
— to the tune of $15,000 per
year per senator — to pay off
private debts wouldn't be condon-
ed anywhere else, but it is con-
doned in politics.

To me it is absolutely shocking

€ and disgraceful that a prime min-
f ister who issued a so-called ‘code
of ethics’ to his own ministers
should continue the unethical
{ Practice of using public funds in
“such a fashion.
