Ence would it be valid lord maugham observed that when the reference was before the supreme court of Canada the ques Tion was quite legitimate As the social credit act had not yet been repealed. Lord Macmillan thought the Jagu ment before the judicial committee had become academic. Lord Thankerton commented do not see How a Bill which cannot do anything can be Intra Vir lord Macmillan it can t do any on the face of added lord Thankerton the act is i opera Ralston asks ruling colonel a l. Ralston k.c., coun Sel for the Alberta press suggested the judicial committee might consider whether the press Bill which would compel Alberta news papers to print corrective or amplifying statements on govern ment policies at the direction of the chairman of the social credit Board was substantively Ultra Vires. The supreme court it seemed had disposed of the matter on the ground the Bill was ancillary to the social credit act and the social credit act having fallen the ancillary to the act fell with it lord Macmillan this Appeal were said that dismissed if the judgment of the supreme court would we colonel Ralston continued that we might ask your lordships to Deal with the Bill lord Atkin there is no doubt there is no effective the argument he added would be merely a debate. H. P. Duchemin k.c., counsel for the Canadian press the Cana Dian daily newspapers association and the Canadian weekly news paper association said vital questions arose in the press legislation. It raised the Issue of whether a provincial legislature had the authority to control the press1 or whether that authority Lay Svith the Dominion parliament. Colonel Ralston urged that re peal of the Alberta social credit act afforded the Alberta press an Opportunity to ask for an authoritative decision on the Points raised in the supreme court regarding the constitutionality of the press Bill considered by itself and apart from other legislation. Asks for costs he asked for costs on the grounds that disposition of the Appeal adversely to the appellants was caused by their cutting the ground from under their own feet by repeal of the social credit act while the litigation was pending. Or. Duchemin who is president of the Canadian press and of the Sydney . Pos record said the vital question was whether the Dominion parliament or the provincial legislature possessed authority to legislate regarding the press. A decision on this Point by the privy Council was desirable. Lord maugham said the judicial committee having decided not to proceed with the Appeal the ques Tion of costs remained and asked the views of counsel on this ques Tion. I or. Duchemin argued the respondents were not before the commit tee on their own initiative but were forced there by the appellants who had asked leave to Appeal and after putting the newspapers to a heavy outlay had thrown up their hands and virtually abandoned the Appeal. He asked costs against the Appel spokesman lord maugham lord Chancellor who announced the decision of the privy Council thurs Day to discontinue hearing of appeals on the Alberta press Bill and the measure to regulate credit of the grounds that both acts Are in operative. Lants As far As the Alberta papers and the Canadian press were concerned. Lord Macmillan asked if there were separate submissions for the Canadian press i and whether the argument of Dominion government counsel was not sufficient or. Duchemin replied had abounding Confidence in counsel for the Dominion of Canada but had come with a distinctive submission for the press organization of Canada. Lord Macmillan observed obviously colonel Ralston is in the same sounds warning during earlier argument on the Bank Bill lord Macmillan observed that with regard to Banks the prov inces would have to step very care fully. They must recognize the Banks Are under the do minion parliament. True they could tax a Bank but it was a Region in which they had to watch their step. Lord maugham commented the Powers of the Dominion parliament under the British North America act might be nullified by a province imposing a selective tax on a particular Branch property. A province in that Way might make copyright worthless and Bills of Exchange useless. There was however Strong ground for examination whether the object of a provincial tax had an ulterior motive. Cyril Radcliffe k.c., colonel Biggar s associate counsel dealt with the Legal aspects the motive and effect of the Bank taxation Bill. He was followed by Georffrion k.c., counsel Lor the Dom Inion of Canada who asked the privy Council to confirm the judg ment of below grounds the Bill was acutely discriminatory against the Banks and was based on considerations of the social credit act. Grounds presented. The privy Council was asked to declare the Banks Bill Ultra Vires on the following grounds 1. Because the subject matter of this Bill is not taxation in the province in order to the raising of a Revenue for provincial purposes under Section 92 2 of the British North America act. 2. Because its purpose and unavoidable effect is to expel the Banks from Alberta. 3. Because it is legislation respect ing Banks and the incorporation of Banks a subject matter within the exclusive legislative competence of the parliament of Canada. 4. Because it is not direct Taxa Tion a item the meaning of Section 92 2 or the British North America act r 5. Because it is not taxation within the within the meaning of Section 92 2 of the British North America act 6. Because this legislation is part of the general and illegal legislative plan and is intended to perfect the social credit plan. Under the to collect Money but intent to or. Geoffrion said. Its discriminatory nature is tremendous. The policy of the. Alberta legislature if it can is to replace the Ordinary Canadian by provincial Banks to operate its social state credit convicted on.
