takes strange forms. In the news
business, fer example, it's now
popular to bash us for “doom and

“Why so much bad news in your
newspaper?” is a_ favorite
question. 1 seems readers would
rather see the brighter side of
news than the gloomy side day af-
ter day.

Even the newspapers are getting
in on the act. A recent Vancouver,
Sun editorial entitled “ignorance is

Clergy keeping.

By VICPARSONS -

For years, a small group of thick-
skinned and devoted clergy have stood
patiently at the microphones at share-
holders’ meetings of the chartered
banks to comment on the morality of
bank loans to what they regard as
repressive foreign regimes.

Dismissed sometimes as trouble-

. makers and_ idealists, the priests,

ministers, nuns and laymen have
persisted in raising the issue, winning a
minor victory here and there, forcing
pin-striped bankers into defending
their actions.

At the flurry of chartered banks
annual meetings in the last two weeks,
they were at work again representing
the Task Force on the Churches and
Corporate Responsibility and seeking
answers about loans to South Africa,
Chile and Guatemala.

How much credit these small groups.
of dissident shareholders can take for

page.

He points out — and justly so —
that his pages reflect the news of
the day — whether he personally
likes that news or not. The
prospect of higher interest rates
fills him with foreboding — just os
it does everybody else.

But at least by reporting those
higher interest rates. and the
possibility of them going up again,
he and others can begin planning
now. .

There's nothing wrong with op-
timisim — and regardless of what
the news pages look like’ these
days most newsmen are optimistic.
But to turn a blind eye on bad news
is a disservice to our readers. .

Rather than selectively “censor”
bad ‘news. from our pages, we
would like to belleve readers do
that for themselves. If they're tired
of hearing about unemployment,
then they won't read about unem-
ployment. But those who do want
that information have access to it.

changes which have come. to the
banking business is debatable. Even
the clerics themselves are loathe to
claim it all.

But since their protests began about
eight years:ago, the Big Five of the
chartered banks have now: produced
codes of conduct. There has'been in-
creased disclosure of business dealings
and at least two banks, the Toronto,
Dominion and the Royal Bank of
Canada, have refused to make loans
that will support racial discrimination
in South Africa.
