"There is no such report and I would like anyone to disprove that," he told a press confer- ence here when questioned about Mr. Diefenbaker's state- ments in Hamilton Tuesday. T. C.

Mr. Favreau also said any investigation of the Sefkind bankruptcies was a matter for the Quebec authorities. He said he had ordered an RCMP investigation to find out whether the Sefkind companies eral cabinet ministers. He said the investigation showed there were no such contributions. In demanding disclosure of a justice department report, Mr. Diefenbaker said that "'if it had been revealed there would have been less possibility of such crimes being committed."

The Opposition leader said that Finance Minister Walter Gordon made such a "holy mess' of the economy that the Liberals have drafted Robert Winters, the former public works minister who is running in Toronto's York' West riding. Referring to the United Canada auto trade agreement, Mr, Diefenbaker said he welcomes any transac- tion to increase trade but the consumer was not benefitting from the $50,000,000 cut in Ca- nadian customs duties. REGINA (CP) --Party poli- tics have degenerated into something popularly known a the spoiis sysiem, Sociai Credit Leader Robert Thompson said Wednesday. "It is a little less than the law of the jungle applied to our political system of govern- ment," he said. Speaking at a combined fund- raising dinner and nominating convention here, Mr. Thompson told about 150 supporters: "Bankrupt old political parties have adopted the socialistic po- licy that the end justifies the means; the rights of the minor- ity do not matter; personal freedom is sacrificed in the in- terest of the state or a political machine and political prog- rams are designed to appeal to the selfish instincts of man- kind." Mr. Thompson said many people in 'Canada today would vote Social Credit if they thought the party had any chance of being elected. Mr. Thompson urgéd his lis- teners to "register a protest'"' if they did not like the present po- litical scene. "You can't be any worse off than you are now."

"While (NDP Leader) Tommy Douglas says between 40 and 60 per cent of the voters how are undecided, I'm satis- fied with the latest poll which ows about 37 per cent. This is! way higher than in previous years and there is no doubt about it--the deciding factor among the uncommitted voters is local issues." On recent crime develop- Caouetie RIMOUSKI, Que.

The Commons, published rec- ord of the last session of Par- liament shows that the opposi- tion repeatedly asked for tabl- ing of the report from the trus- tee in the Sefkind bankruptcies to the federal superintendent of bankruptcies.
