District Scout Council Warmly LIned Footwear For the Present Cold Spell Mukluks - Work Boots - Ladies Boots Welcome National Corporations -- Developers or ” By Rev, Bud Godderis One of the subjects on the agetida of the 7th Special Session of tho United Natlons were the activilles of transna- {lonal corporations in the poor- er countries of the world. The subject of transna- tfonal corporations is one that hits close to home. Few Canadians may know it, but a Royal Commission on corporate concentration was established this year by the federal government, The com: mission has office space at Suite 108, 140 Wellington St., Ot- tawa, ‘The terms of reference of the commission are “to inquire - into, report upon and make recommendations concern- ing (a) the nature and role of major corporate powers in Canada, (b) the economic and social implications for the pub- lle interest of such concentr: tions and (c) whether sai guards exist or-may be re- quired to protect the public interest in ite presence of such ii "1974, the 6th Special Session of the U.N. adopted a declaration on the establishment of a New Inter- snatlonal Economie Order. The declaration was only one link in ‘a chain of events that seek a Tesponse to the question “Who shal} control and who shall benefit from the world's na! resources?” The poorer natlons of the world are insisting that “each nation state has the right to ‘control its own natural re- sources and all economic activi- for the Establishment of a New International Economie Order was the statement that each nation had the right “to exer- else effective contro! over the EVERYBODY WELCOME TO OUR : DOWNSTAIRS TOYLAND and ECIRI€ TRAIN DISPLAY IN OPERATION This Friday, November 7-7 to9 p.m. = Zth Special Session of the United Nations transnationals with means ault- able to its own sltuation includ: ing the right to nationalization or transfer of ownership.” In the colonial period the weatern industriallzing powers controlled and benefitted from. the natural resourcea found in Asia, Africa and Latin America, As former colonies achieved polltical Independence, econom- ic control by the industrialized nations was not weakened but maintalned. A key feature. in’ the economic order which emerged at the end of the second world war was the transnational “corporation. Through | foreign investment, technological | ex- pertise and ownership of tratis- portation and marketing facili- ties these giant corporations guaranteed for themselves ac- cess to plentiful raw materials | at bargain prices. ‘The multinationals them- selves are calling for an inter- national organization to’ regul- ate their activities. IBM is ia transnational corporation that operates in 109 countries and employs 240 million people. The IBM bullding was just across from the United Nations In Now York.

The “hole idea: of an international body regulating ‘multinationals is tinged with unreality for the slmple reason that there is no existing in- ternational body that has the power to do the job. ; :When our group of ob- servers questioned the Cana- dian government about the regulation of multi-national cor- porations it was suggested that Canada is an exemplar for other. countries ‘of the world in this regard, but Canada’s: way of rogulating — multi-nationals might not necessarily work in other: countries. One of ‘the’ MPs who happened to be sitting next to _ me, muttered under his breath, “That's the under-statement of the year.” ‘Tho implication was that there is some doubt that Canada has the capacity to regulate multi-nationals within Canada—international regula tion would be more then a mammoth jo!
