Campaign director in Ottar n was to have telephoned itt i new York to ask for Money. What happened apparent was this. Hays was the Liber finance chairman in Albert and a member of the Nalion finance committee of to parly. He made the rounds i Oil and Gas companies Ami others in Calgary and Edmon ton and kept running into i explanation that they did in have authority to make wort while Campaign donations b cause . Law is tight on co morale contributions. Hays regarded this As Gross intrusion of . Law Ai practice into Canada. With ii knowledge of the National i Oral finance committee he d Eidd to visit . Bead Offieri of corporations and loll the that they ought to rive the Canadian subsidiaries Freedo to contribute to political a namely the Liberal Par to Canadian la and Pra Clicc. The senator saw this As a nationalist Enterprise a blow sovereignty and Independence. He winds up instead As the villain the Conlinn taoist who went soliciting . Green backs. The a Climis Story is said to be different. He was not involved in raising funds but he is apparently an individual with a Short fuse and a habit of reaching for the phone to express his annoyance. For example lie phoned the National editor of the Star recently to complain that he did not like the Altitude of one of the paper s reporters in Ottawa. In the Case of itt he apparently phoned the head of i fice in new York to complain about the Altitude of the Cana Dian subsidiary which had not been As polite As he thought it should be in turning Down a re quest for funds from a Liberal Bagman. That s the Way the Story is being told in Ottawa anyway. The pay Oft line is that both efforts were probably unnecessary. Although it has been com Mon political gossip that the Liberal parly was desperately Short of funds during lie elec Tion parly insiders insist thai this was not so. They claim Ileal lie Bagman had no difficulty in raising All the Money required by Hie Campaign Bud get and thai in fact the party wound up with a surplus. The moral of the whole Story is probably this As Long As political parties depend on vested Trade even wealthy in financing there will be suspicion about the motives of he donors and the obligations of the recipients. It m a k c s Little practical Dif Ference whether the donors arc in Canada or the United Stales. Candies and were also found on the floor Afler being dropped during the police raid. A murder May Lake one life said the prosecutor but those involved in heroin trafficking Are responsible for Many More Ives being taken or ruined. In that sense a heroin trafficker should be viewed As one responsible for the lives of addicts he said. Weather improved Lale tues Day.
