A good part of this would. be made up of discount and exchange, leaving a very small part for interest on bank loans. "This bears out the charge of bucketing, for the house had no need to" go to the bank for loans, except m occasion for small amounts, In- terest collected from clients repre- sents over 2,000 per cent of total dis- bursements to bankers for discount, exchange and interest." Mr. Sinclair demanded speed and immediate action above all things, concentrated on methods employed by brokers, the general system in vogue, rather than actual ' trandsac- tions or past peccadilloes. Says System Important "The important thing to the people is the system used jn the brokers' offices," he declared, "not the sol- vency or insolvency of cértain firms. We have information that certain houses ar betting against their cus- tomers, . taking , theic .ordegs to buy, writing them on the euff, and then buying when the price has gone down, "Surely the attorney-gencral must know that this is going on and which houses are guilty, . He tells the press that he is ready to take action if complaints are lodged 'by disgrauntled investors and that he does not know of any instances of bucketing, but he will not say that bucketing is not going on. "He must know that this sort of thing is going on,. for he certainly gave himself wide, enough powers to investigate : and scrutinize brokers' affairs under the securities frauds prevention act, "He must have a sketchy idea, at least, even if only from looking into rumors or following up demands for action in such responsible publica- tions as the Financial Post." Many of the fears of 'the public had apparently heen allayed: by the very name. of the: securities frauds' prevention act, Mr. Sinclair remark- ed, Yet the brokers had carried on with their "nefarious practises" while the attorney-general failed to exer- cise the powers he proudly, asked for when he introduced the act. "] can see him standing in the legislature boasting of the. benefits which have been derived from the act," enyisaged the Liberal leader sardonically. *"That may be so, but say that much greater benefits would have come from the legislation if a vigorous and energetic attorney-gen= eral had held office instead of the present incumbent, Hon. W. H. Price. He has ample information as to the brokers' activities im Ontario, but he does 'nothing. Some of the brokers do not want investigating, and Mr, Price is inactive," Price Must Wake Up "It is ti..e for the attorney-general to wake up and not display himself as unsympathetic in this regard, If he will not act, it is up to Premier Ferguson to see that he gets an at- torney-general who will act under the legislation granted. "If we have such an investigation; , such as I have suggested, the shady brokers will be cleaned up and busi~ ness will be run on a proper basis, It is his privilege to speak to the attor- hey-general and urge action. before it is too late to ask him to start ac- tion to investigate all ramifications of the brokerage business. "TI do - mot ask' for the head of Colonel: Price upon a charger, as it were, I do ask Colonel Price to occupy the position of attorney-gen- eral in a manner befitting that "high office, entrusted as it is-with control of the administration of justice in this great provinge. t . "Let him not wait for the comple- tion of teh audit being made o Standard Mining Exchange affairs and those of its members, which in« cidentally was not started until last month although the Toronto Stock exchange completed "its audit' last summer. Yet him. take action now and look into the whole business as it is at present: \ ; "If the. interests of the large sec- tion of the audit being made of ing stocks are not protected, théy have and | have the right to demand either a royal commission to investi~ gate the situation or a new attorney. general to carry out to the full the provisions 'of his' own 'legislation. A { ed 'in the markets and in the broker- i age houses, and what is stil happen- This much vaunted act should not be a' matter of mere window dressing | for the Ferguson government to take credit for passing. "It is all very well for the attorney general and The Mail and Empire to accuse me of waiting until after the horse was stolen to ask a royal com- mission. 1 insist that I not only said something during the last session of the legislature but also during the recent election campaign about the dangers of the situation. "l proposed a. number of amend- ments to Mr. Price's act when it was brought down in the house, but I was merely laughed at, | suggested and still suggest, that audits should be in- dependent, not made by the exchan- ges' own auditors ; should be made at random as well as at stated periods; and should apply also to numerous brokers who operate without belong-! ing to any stock exchange. : "I Told You S¢" "I predicted then what has happen- ing because the government has not either legislated or acted as strin gently as I recomended in my speech ir the house. "If they had taken my advice, the attorney-general would not be in the plight he now finds himself in. Pub- lic opinion is forcing the attorncy- general from his moorings" Chief among numerous reasons which Mr. Sinclair gave for demand- ing investigation by royal commission were the facts that the act was per- missive and not compulsory; that the attorney-genéral declined to use his wide powers despite what he knew; and that the public could not be pro- tected with audits by. the brokers themselves or by any cther "clean-up from within" The mining industry was one of the mast important in the province, he added, and its welfare was being men- | aced 'by unscrupulous brokers who | made immense profits by betting against their clients, Mother--He seems an casygoing person.
