Narrowly defined it may be as As It Happens reported tonight on CBC Radio, that Jules Paivio is the last Canadian veteran of the Spanish civil war. But William Krehm, who as a young man went to Spain at that time as a journalist, is still alive and kicking and fighting the good fight. As he approaches his hundredth birthday Bill remains the publisher and main contributor to Economic Reform, the newsletter of the Committee On Monetary and Economic Reform. At present he is busy seeking leave to take our Central Bank to court for failing to live up to the mandate demanded of it by the 1938 Bank of Canada Act. Though I have on a number of occasions advised As It Happens that it needs to interview Bill on any number of topics its producers remain silent. Is it because they resent suggestions from their listeners or because, oh my gosh, they fear what this living revolutionary might still be capable of!
