Mr. Gibson's ‘Polictical | Bank’ Charge

Residents of the North Vancouver berals, that ‘most certainly will be bad provide sustained yield.

provincial constituency might. wonder.
about the posture of one’ of those loud- °
ly resisting. attempts... to secure a charter
for a British Columbia’ bank. *’*"*

Liberal MLA Gordon Gibson is one
of those who keeps insisting that the bank
will be “political” because ‘the provincial
government: would hold something less
than 10. percent of the shares.

“He is’ right,’ certainly * polities enter
into it..Mr., Gibson has demonstrated that
by pointing out: that ‘British Columbians,
who will be permitted to buy shares in the
bank, most.certainly may be super-loyal
to the government.

Partisan Senate

The Senate has approved the applica:.
tion for. a charter by. the bank of Western
‘Canada. -

There was objection on. the ground
‘that the effective control of the bank wo-
uld be! with a company owning. 43 per
cent of. the stock;:some senators thought
there should ‘be’ ‘further evidence to in-
dicate the true situation with regard to
three of four’ companies ‘involved in own-
ership of the‘bank stock. —_;

Bank stock “always. should be con-
sidered. as ‘something different. from
stock of an ordinary corporation. It is re-
gretablé also that a:vote‘on the subject of
calling ‘witnesses back. for further :expla-
nation was lost ina strictly partisan basis.
The Senate should not be ‘partisan in such
matters. — The Letter: Review.
