24 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, July 16, 1965 Cash 'n' Politics: How They Relate By TOM MITCHELL OTTAWA (CP) -- A political cnavasser, out to check on pos- sible voters for his party, can't get past the locked door of a oy high-rise apartment build- ng. A party organizer, pushing for a good turnout at an elec- mails out 6,000 circulars adver- tising the meeting. Only 200 per- sons show up. : Because many voters won't turn out for meetings and can't be reached by pushing a door- bell, politicians turn increas- ingly to television and radio to get their message across. And time on the air is expensive. This:is one aspect of modern Canadian political life. that is under study by a special com- mittee looking into ways to limit election expenses. CHAIRMAN DIED : Created last October, the five- member committee was just getting organized when its chairman, lawyer Francois No- bert of Trois-Rivieres, Que., died in January. Montreal law- yer Alphonse Barbeau was ap- pointed to succeed him. Other members are M. J. Coldwell, former national leader of the old CCF party; Arthur Smith of Calgary, for- mer Conservative MP; lawyer Gordon R. Dryer of Toronto, a Liberal campaign committee man; and Professor Norman Ward of the University of Sas- katchewan. A research staff has been set up and committee members have fanned out across Canada to sift out the facts about the financing of the country's po- litical parties. Western Canada. They have made several trips to Toronto and have interviewed Quebec politicians as well as talked to tawa. The research staff has been studying techniques used in var- ious countries for reporting elention expenses or for placing a limit on them. It also has been looking into the increasing use of broadcasting by political parties and the subsequent in- creasing cost of running an election: campaign. But it is in the area of deter- mining just how Canada's polit- ical parties are financed that the committee faces its tough- est work. "This is, of course, the sensi- tive area,"' one source said, not- ing that the committee is de- pendent on information volun- teered by the politicians. Unlike a royal commission, it cannot call for records. Besides being a_ sensitive area, it is a complicated one-- with money heing spent and coming in at all levels from that of the: local riding to the provincial and national scale. "I don't know whether there is any one person in this coun- try who can say what the ac- tual expenses of a party are," the source said. "It is a matter of picking up a bit of information here and there and hoping it eventually falls into place." When the committee was set up, the government said the de- cision on when to report find- Ings would be left in the com- mittee's hands. It could be a long time before the pieces Committee representa- tives are winding up a trip to e fallen into place and the report is finished. Hays Seeks Working Plan For Drought-Disaster Aid OTTAWA (CP) -- Agriculture Minister Harry Hays is trying to work out a permanent ar- rangement for farm drought and disaster relief with the provinces, sources said _Thurs- day. - it could include revtsions in the federal-provincial crop in- surance plan and a_ separate} program for disaster relief. The revised crop insurance program could be more attrac- tive to such provinces as On- tario and Quebec, now outside the plan. Over-all federal aim is to greatly broaden the plan's cov- erage to protect farmers against natural disaster. In existence since 1960, the plan now covers only a small percentage of farmers. Only four provinces--Manitoba, Sas- seeding of forage crops has been saved,"' Frank Dench, rep- resentative for Renfrew County, said in a special report to the Ontario agriculture department. Officials of the soils and crops branch of the department were more cautious, noting that normal rainfall for the rest of the season in the previously- parched area would save the crops. But for a good crop above- average amounts of rain are needed because the drought conditions of the last three years have left no surplus moisture in the ground. The department urged farm- ers in the province to harvest all forage crops possible to aid farms in Eastern Ontario. Farmers were urged to make sure there is no buyer in their katchewan, Alberta and Princejlocal area before selling on the Edward Island--have operating schemes. The agriculture department is said to want to eliminate the need for such stop-gap pro- grams as special aid for farm- ers in Quebec and Ontario hit by a spring drought and Oka- nagan fruit growers whose trees were damaged by the se- vere winter. The provinces concerned have worked out with the federal government programs for tem- porary relief in these cases. They will likely be announced next week. Mrs. Hays talked over pro- posals with provincial agricul- ture ministers at a Winnipeg meeting this week. Their reac- export market. many MPs and ministers in Ot-)- [ie vou ARE THINKING ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE tion was not known. Details of the federal pro- gram are not available.
