But its sweep ing new provisions encountered opposition when it went before the Senate s banking and Commerce committee for study.

William mor he Ris summed up the anti scrapes fied in its key sections. The modification of the Legisla Jon was done with the approval of Hon. Stuart Garson minister of Justice who first introduced the measure in the House. He raised no objection to the Amend ments made by the Senate com Mittee because the changes did not weaken the act. The Legisla Tion has now been passed As modified by the commons. By . Possibilities of carrying out investigations and research and re porting to the restrictive Trade practices commission also created under the new act. Representatives of the new director of investigation May not seize documents without a per missive certificate issued by a member of the commission. And where any documents Are taken permissible some senators objected to the elimination of the old be Ling on fines under the Combine act. Or. Garson pointed out tha a Combine which May have mad through its illegal cavities would find it no hardship pay a Fine and under sue circumstances there was a Dang of the Fine becoming a Mere licence to operate a Combine. Or. Garson said also that removing i away for examination they must be returned within 40 Days under amendments made by the Senate originally the legislation provided for 60 Days elapsing before they had to be returned.

Of the decision of the Lay Council in the Nolan Case that h confirms in the to Riding Way All the arguments Ern. 1ujl c parliament was right in abolish no these appeals than the privy Council judgment in this Case. A few general observations vill be in order before discuss no the judgment in detail. E o if you take up the privy Council decision immediately afer Reading the judgments of the Manitoba court of Bench the Manitoba court of Appeal and the supreme court of Canada you become aware at once of a Lack of knowledge of Canadian affairs. The privy Council decision is wholly in Here is a group of Emin ent jurists who reside m the United kingdom discussing events in Canada of which they know Little or nothing. In Conse Quence there is a dreamlike a i Quality or of fact that parliament had intended the act As a measure of decontrol and had explicitly denied to the government the Power to expropriate. Everyone in Canada interested in these matters the statement will be proved in due course by quotations from originally the King government in Bill 15 asked parliament for very wide Powers including the Power of expropriation. But the governments of the provinces the Public generally and most of the newspapers of the coun by including incidentally the free press strenuously of acc de. The King government ceded these objections and in consequence Bill 15 was Radi Cally amended in the House of commons largely upon the moot the government itself. Never land about what is said. The judges of our own courts what they were talking about. Their judgments reflect the events of the times. One in which will be fully documented will make this Tion the Power to expropriate pro pert y was stricken out at the invitation of or. St. Laurent then minister of Justice and on the motion of the late Hon. Ian Mac Kenzie. To argue that this Power remained in the act of 1945-As the privy Council More than wrong headed. It is likewise to suggest that 1945 statute was intended to Confer new Powers on the gov. Ern ment because of what he privy Council refers to As an emergency that imperils the National the to grandiloquent nonsense. This 1945 measure was t h o a decontrol the ceiling gave the courts the discretion to impose penalties commensurate with the illegal Point Clear. Two of the Points in due were was the National emergency Powers act a decontrol measure As stated by chief Justice Williams or a measure which clothed the government with new Powers of control. And second was it intended in this act to give the government the Power to expropriate prop to in deciding the meaning of a statute the courts do not con Sider what is said in or out of parliament.

That com Mittee was set up in 1950 to study the whole Field of anti combines legislation. It made its report earlier this year. Compromise limit one of the major new sections provides for the attorneys Gen eral of the provinces or Canada to Institute proceedings for a court injunction. Originally under the Bill there was no time limit on the taking out of the injunctions. The Senate committee raised the Point that it was unfair to leave a company convicted of operating a Combine with the threat of an injunction being certainly be More easily defend Over its headed but other retreats May yet Aura of Sanctity when they cling to Walls of an ancient edifice is gradually being dispelled in our hygienic and streamlined age. There Are surely few of Winnipeg s Citi Zens _ although Winnipeg might be expected to cling rather tenaciously to what Little Antiquity it possesses in whose eyes bitter teas Ever welled up at the sight of sandblasters crawling Over the face of the . Station or the Grain Exchange building. Lord Euston and the members of his society have fallen Back to a stronger position and Are Content if they can ensure that buildings Are not lost for Lack of or spoiled by botched uti hta this position will v deleting a key Section in the new the new Law will be much i provides that the Din Rector upon his own initiative May and upon direction from the minister of at the in stance of the commission shall carry out an inquiry concerning the existence and effect of conditions or practices having relation to any commodity which May be the subject of Trade or Commerce and which conditions or practices Are related to monopolistic Situa item states could prevent corporations from continuing restrictive Trade practices. He Felt that these provisions All add considerable weight to the government s weapon against combines in Canada. Evidence Canadian judges living Here care tons or restraint of a motion to delete this important Section from the Bill saw the committee Divide 11 to 11 the committee s chairman sen j. W. De b. Karris lib. British Columbia cast the deciding vote against the deleting motion. That an indication of How evenly kind the in a Canada during these times and particularly in the Case of the Iukes of the supreme court having been informed constantly in the Ordinary course of Lite at Ottawa of events on and about Only judges writing about country of which they Are profoundly ignorant could make mistakes of this kind. It is the kind of error that As the fed eral government argued m 1949 reveals clearly the weakness of a court which lacks All direct personal knowledge of this country. Thus in the narrow sense the privy Council decision May be regarded As a vict Ory for the Federal department of Justice. But in the larger and broader sense it affords proof of the incompetence of the privy Council to act As the final court of Appeal for this country. Legal Hawks roses and the fishy pig for this Reader at least there could have been no More appropriate time of the year than the month of june to have looked Over the Story of the Pio neers of the Langruth District of Manitoba.

James Endicott now finds himself effectively cornered. It is coupled of course with the dark and rather Pathe tic observation that or. Endicott j worked with .

Intelligence have had to do with pro communists with views Akin to those of or. Endi Cott who also worked with that organization during the War. As was pointed out recently on this Page the germ warfare allegation was a second thought on the part of chinese communists.

Some senators suggested a time limit of six months some proposed five years. A com Promise limit of three years was adopted with the minister signifying his approval. The amended Law therefore of fixes three years As the limit for obtaining an injunction against a company convicted of operating a Combine and suspected of continuing the opera Tion after its conviction. Or. Garson agreed that it would have been unfair to leave the Law open so that an injunction might be taken out 10 or even 20 years after a conviction had been registered against a company. Another amendment originating in the Senate com Mittee would fix the same time limit 3 years on the provision n under which courts can require a report from a convicted company on its operations following the conviction. The new Law creates a position be known As the director of investigation and research As suggested by the Macquarrie re port Deputy directors May also be director or his and against some provisions in the measure which had passed the commons with comparatively ittle debate. The committee divided again in a motion 12. To eight to retain another Section. It provided that courts could prohibit actions which appeared Likely to result in a Combine. Or. Garson explained that such a Section would enable businessmen to obtain a ruling on whether operations they were contemplating would be Legal under the combines legislation. This he believed would meet the com plaints that the combines Law did not specify what operations were strategic Point separated from the farmyard by a Bluff of Trees and on the pretext of resting the horses a boy could slip Down from the cultivator seat and investigate a Badger Hole or a King Bird s nest.
