Sanford wants minister
to overrule governor,
The' Federal Minister of
Finance or, ifnecessary, the
Cabinet `should overrule the
governor of the Bank of
Canada on recent increases of
interest rates, and roll -back in-
terest rates as a counter in- '
flationary' move. •
These are the views' of Blake
Sanford, Region 3 (Ontario)
Coordinator _ of the • National
Farmers' Union, who said
'today in Guelph that "surely it_
'has become apparent to the
„governor of the Bank of •
Canada, and the federal gover-
nment, the practise of con-
tinuing t� raise inthrest ratesis,
creating, • not curbing. in-
flations."
'"It's a vicious policy. It's like
trying .to put a fire out with
gasoline, at today's gasoline
prices, and has been totally
ineffective in reducingthe''r'ate
of inflation," said Mr. Sanford:,
Mr. 'Sanford .said farmers- are
particularly hard' hitby
escalating interest rates
because most ' depend upon
borrowed money for operating
costs of machinery, fertilizer,
repairs and buildings, but are
not in a position to include the
added cost to their, finished
product. They, like the vast
,majority of the working public
are stripped .of their earning
power.
• ',Other industries," .he said,
"are able to incRide increased
costs to the end , prodact price,
and do so regardless of whether
they use borrower _capital."
'-Increased 'interest rates
create a snowballing effect and
have instrumentally imposed •
inflation' • on great numbers Rof.
Canadian people who have no
counter action, while at the
'n the time setting s
�ta ga for
exorbitant .;profits for banks,
finaincial institutions and large
corporations , who are " finan-
cially buoyant," • Mr.. 'Sanford
pointed ,out. •
The .revisions to the, Bank
Act, proposed in 1965, and lif-
ting the ceilings on interest
rates, supposedly so the
banking .institutions •could
'become "more competitive"
could well be labelled as one of
the initial culprits -to inflation
in. Canada,
Mr. Sanford said that
following a substantial roll
back of interest rates then a
ceiling`% should again be im-
posed.
