Association president. in response to
press reports That )(Iowa has uttered
the EE(' an additional 17 million
pounds 01 quota for export subsidiz-

The export subsidy has been
documented and acknowledged by the
federal government as being; a act per
pound on product valued at approx•
imately SI 25 per pound in the Cana-
dian market
While no official statement has
been made by the federal government
on revising import quotas. !he media
stories have not been denied "In
Uecetnbet-, our Federal Government
trade a commitment to our industry
by using the Beef Import Act to limit
beef imports in 1985 and particularly
to deal with the problem of subsidiz-
ed exports from the EE('.1! the media
reports are true. they have reneged
on that commitment. The. have pull-

one penned in .1larch which c•hastiz-
ed my bank lin' bouncing a cheque.
1 have been writing a weekly col-
umn for more than 20 years -and that
column brought almost as much com-
nienl as one that favoured nuclear
.powerplants.
1 had a call from a bank employee
in a small town north of London who
said he had been treated shabbily' by
his own bank'
"I wanted it combine loan to e'pn-
solida(e 501114' debts and buy a new
car... he said. "'They demanded illy
new car as security for the loan. It
was the first time in 20 years of be-
ing employed by the bank that 1 had
been asked to secure the loan.
[ told them to stull it and went to a
trust -c'ompany...
And that was just one call. There
were half it dozen from across the pro-
vince plus letters. -
1lere's one from a farm wife: "The
hank -manager came in to 0(11' farm
ac'c'oinpanied by three big. burly pro-
vincial policemen.
I'm sure tfl'ey waited until my hus-
band was away. Those policemen ac -
ling lawfully, of course.. scared hell
out of our ilu•ee children. Two of them
had just come in 1rotn school and the
other is only three. The. Iwo younger
kids were scared skinny when they
saw those three scowling cops in our
summer kitchen.
:Mal yes. they were operating under
the law It was the way it was done
that wax so scary ..
Another caller said: "l do not know
how they can be so callous. I have
been dealing with the same bank -
Canada's largest -- for 25 years •t)ut
they pounced my cheque when there
was enough in the hank account to
cover the cheque. They tole) me it w.e�
a human error and 11 won't hopper:
again. Meantime. I have to pay them
S7.50 for the bounced cheque and the
.compaIv that got my so-called N.S l
cheque also charger) roe S8.00. 1 am
out SI.S on plus some of my hard-
earned reputation and all I gel is a let-
ter of apology, no oiler to pay me my
S15 isi."
Ilere's another: "I have it loan at
the. bank. i asked them for a letter
telling me how much interest i paid in
198-1 on the loan because my accoun-
tant can rtsr' it for income lax pur
poses Von know what" I have to pay
the damned bank SIt.11(1 for them to tell
me how much I1i6y have charged me
,in interest for the year. That, my
friend. is usury. 1 pay them to tell me
how much they have charged me in
interest. IVhat a rip-off. 1t would take
all of two minutes to sit down at a
computer and figure out 'the interest
paid.
And when you complain, they get
snarky. So you back off because it is
a demand loan and they might de-
mand it.'' -
A friend met me on the street and
said his hank had bounced a cheque
after 15 years.
"I went into the bank to complain
and do you know what some young
Twit said to me? "1'm sorry. sir•. but
we sometimes return a cheque N.S.F.
just to teach people a lesson!"
Teach me a lesson alter 15 years"
Sheesh! I would like to teach her a
lesson in.public relations."
Those are a few quotes from the
calls and letters. This column is car-
ried in about (4.veekh' papers and at
least one da i Iy. paper across Ontario.
11 people out in the boondocks are so
teed off by the banking business. i
think it is about time their public rela-
tions people did something about it
My own bank manager objected to
me using the media for my own
private beef but this is how things get
changed. When people get up in arms.
changes are made and it seems to one
Canada's banks need to make some
changes.
