Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - March 21, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press thursday March 21, 1968 Pound Dollar attacked and Britain but also to the european common Market countries who Are supporting the weekend decisions in Washington of the Central Banks which make up the Gold Pool. The de Gaulle Challenge is aimed at next week s meeting of the larger group of ten Treasury ministers who will meet in Stockholm to discuss bringing into operation the special drawing rights sir plan of the International Mone tary fund. Gen. D e Gaulle probably viewed the weekend meeting in Washington As an american led gang up of Europe against his Long cherished Hopes for an increase in the Price of Gold As the answer to tie world Mone tary problems. He is therefore moving to put All of France s chips against the same thing happening next week in Stock Holm. Harshly worded his harshly worded Cabinet statement wednesday said present Day world conditions Call for increasing economic activity and Ever expanding trading. They therefore necessitate an International Monet Ary system worthy of Universal Confidence. The Dollar and Sterling crisis now developing shows that the present system based on the privilege of Reserve currencies is not Only unfair but henceforth unworkable. Endeavouring to impose it any longer would amount to condemning the free world to serious economic social and political difficulties. A monetary system established on the basis of Gold which alone possesses the c characteristics of immutability impartiality and universality should therefore be put into practice. Such a Reform naturally implies an organization of inter National credit in keeping with the extent mobility and rapidity of present Day trading. It goes without saying that a real and Complete of equilibrium in the american and British balance of payments would in any Case be desirable. France is ready to take part in such an International Mone tary renovation and Hopes to see the european economic Community play its proper role. In the meantime she reserves her Freedom of action regarding by arrangements which would end to retard the the Cabinet statement came after the Paris free Gold Market the principal Gold operation n Europe with the temporary Losure of the London Market dropped from its Price last May of per ounce to 37.93, less than above the or ounce Price to which the United states and All the other european Central Banks remain committed. Aid plan drawn up for crime victims Ottawa up victims of All types of crime listed As of fences under the criminal code should be compensated a Cana d i a n corrections association study group says in a report re leased today. The 22-member group headed by Dean Thomas Feeney of the University of Ottawa Law school began the study Early in 1966. The compensation plan the most comprehensive introduced anywhere has been sent to the prime minister and provincial premiers. The study experts recommended that each province introduce a publicly administered system of compensation to cover loss or injury suffered by crime victims or their surviving dependents. The compensation system would also cover persons who suffer injury or loss while help ing to enforce Federal or Provin Cial legislation that provides for Sanction or punishment pre venting a crime or reducing injury or loss to its victim. Crime had to be defined for these purposes As any offence involving loss or injury to a per son under the criminal code of Canada. Under this definition most motoring offences would be excluded since these were usually a matter of provincial jurisdiction and were generally covered by insurance and such schemes As unsatisfied judgment corporations and business firms generally carried insurance against loss through crime and should the report said be excluded from tie scheme. However shareholders should be eligible for compensation for a crime committed by the corporation but a limit should be set on the amount of compensation that could be claimed. A maximum compensation should be set that would protect the Small investor while avoid ing Over Protection for the Large shareholder. The province should set up a Board to hear claims and approve or deny compensation in any Case. The Board should have wide discretion within its jurisdiction and there should be no Appeal from its decision except for de Nial for natural Justice. Compensation should include payment for property loss physical injury pain and suffer ing loss of income Legal fees and similar expenses. In cases involving physical in jury or pain and suffering med ical and Hospital expenses and loss of income should be a consideration of the amount of compensation. In cases involving loss of or damage to property the victim should be compensated to the property value plus such mat ters As loss of business during repairs. The Board should have author to to proceed with civil action against the criminal to avoid double payment to the once from compensation Anc once from civil suit procedure. Each province should set up fund out of which compensation awards would be paid. The scheme when introduced should not apply retroactively.
