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.
