Tuesday, April 25, 1967 And so the great spending' spree continued. These boys were going through money like it was going out of style. Applicants were plentiful, public relations were good, newspapers were getting- great copy, pictures were being taken and published, articles were written and printed, all the world was sunshine and roses, there had to be ribbon-cutting' ceremonies on nearly all occasions. What a time: and then 1st. Kings reacted violently against being; bribed. Everything had been thrust upon them. It made no difference if they required it, asked for it, they got it anyway. The adage has passed from Souris across the nation. We heard it last week on "Front Page Chal¬ lenge", "if it moves, pension it; if it doesn't move, pave it." Yet these people could take no more. They brought about the downfall of the most extravagent Government ever known to the people of this province. They brought an end to the most extravagent raid on the public treasury ever known in the history of this province. This Tory Government had its day and these men lived it fully. They spent freely. They laughed in the faces of the people. Mr. Speaker , the picnic is over. And I am sure that the people of this province have learned a lesson and will remember it for years to come. They should remember it, for they will be paying for this lesson, as will their children, as will their grandchildren. Mr. Speaker , I hold in my hand two brochures, one a complete edition and a set of the story prepared by Allan Tremure , Editor of the Can¬ adian Fishermen, and Robert F. Barrett , Editor of the Canadian Food Industries, graphics by W. Wilson , complete from the front to the rear it takes in the story. The other one is The Canadian Fishermen, they are both glossy papers so they must have cost a considerable amount of money and, if my informant is right, they have not been paid for yet. This one has a shorter synopsis on the Food story on page twenty-one. Let us take a look at the first one, inside the page, of course with the smiling countenance of the Leader of the Opposition who was then the Premier of the Province. I do not blame him in the least for being' there; he, out of all necessity he should be there, possibly he should have allowed his picture to be taken then he should give them a message, which he did, and which he is very cap¬ able when he wants to be. But the story goes on and the next page shows us that mysterious man, Jens Moe, then it goes on to tell us how this past came into being and there on the next page we have C. A. Davis , President of the Food, and a picture of the plant. Then on top of a back boe we see, with a hard hat on, a safety hat, no less then the then Premier of the Province, pulling the throttle which started the movement of the soil there to make way for this new establishment. Once again we go over a piece farther and see C. A. Davis , President and Director , K. Greys- dill, Director . And let me say this about Mr. Greysdall he was one of the first of the Scandinavian group, Norwegian Group that came over here early last fall to confer with the Government of the day to see what could be done with regards to securing the monies which they put into the Foods and which they could not trace. This man is a Banker; he is one of the big Bankers in Norway and he told us that through the years he knew this Jens Moe from the time he was a youngster, he said, "I suppose I allowed my heart to run away with my head." "We, in Europe," he said, "still gase across the toward America, the land of opportunity." Here is the bright young man who went over there, here is the bright young man through each and every day, there was hardly a day went by, but there was some notations in the newspapers, then were clippings, there were press clippings and so forth concerning the great strides this famous Jens Moe was making in Am¬ erica. It had reached such proportions that some of them in Norway really believed that Jens Moe had pushed the Rockefellers completely out of the Con¬ tinent He made the statement that they had invested 1.2 millions of dollars. We cant trace it; we dont know where it has gone. But if we don't find it, we know where Jens Moe is going. In the other brochure, which starts on page twenty-one, we see the photograph of Mr. Davis on one side and Jens Moe on the other and the usual ribbon cutting cere¬ mony with the then Premier of the Province standing there with the ribbonin one hand and shears in the other. But he wasn't looking where he was cutting; he was looking right into the face of the camera. So once more he had his picture in the news¬ papers and had it in good shape, rather than the rear of him showing up. It is quite an article here, it is well worth reading because of the fact that people who have fol¬ lowed this situation since it began to get into difficulties will be able to follow this through and see every move as it has famed out Now, Mr. Speaker , one of the first —358—
