The Nomination of Michael Fallon As Bishop of London
CCHA, Historical Studies, 62 (1996), 33-46 The Nomination of Michael Fallon as Bishop of London Pasquale FIORINO At the turn of this century, the population of the nine counties that comprise the Catholic Diocese of London, Ontario had reached 500,038. Of these 11.24% professed the Catholic faith, 5.31% claimed French as their ethnic origin, and 21.49% were of Irish descent.1 Given the size of its ethnic population and the agrarian nature of its economy, the London Diocese did not seem to pose any threat to the social and religious peace of the Dominion, but it was soon to become a much debated topic among Catholics and Protes- tants. This upsurge in fame was the result of two events which occurred less than a month apart: the nomination of Michael Francis Fallon as Bishop of the Diocese in December 1909 and the French-Canadian Educational Congress held in Ottawa in January 1910. For the next two decades, Bishop Michael Fallon’s relationship with French-Canadians was a controversial issue in Canadian social and religious life. The investigation of the candidacy and the appointment of Michael Fallon as Bishop of London has been shrouded in mystery and unconfirmed rumours. The Roman hierarchy does not disclose information regarding its methods of investigation or its findings. However, this paper will present the fruits of my research at the Vatican Archives with respect to the nomination of Fallon to the episcopal see of London. On 25 June 1908, the Bishops of Toronto, Hamilton, Sault Ste. Marie, Kingston, Peterborough, and Alexandria met in Toronto to compile a list of three candidates – known as a terna – for the London See which had become vacant following the translation of Bishop Francis Patrick McEvay to the Archdiocese of Toronto. -

This conclusion is reached by examining recent empirical evidence on the extent of inward and outward foreign investment, ownership links between large financial corporations and large industrial corporations, and the size and composition of manufacturing production and trade. -
La Iglesia Cubana Y La Revolución De Independencia (1868-1898)
10 LA IGLESIA CUBANA Y LA REVOLUCIÓN DE INDEPENDENCIA (1868-1898) Juan Bosco Amores Carredano Introducción La historia de la Iglesia católica en Cuba, tanto en lo que se refiere a la época colonial como a la del siglo XX, ha merecido hasta ahora un escaso interés por parte de los historiadores.1 Para el siglo XIX contamos con más información. A través de las semblan- zas biográficas de algunas figuras de la Iglesia especialmente queridas para la historiografía cubana –como son Félix Varela (1788-1853) y el obispo de La Habana Juan José Díaz de Espada (1802-1832)–, podemos conocer algunos aspectos parciales de la actuación de la Iglesia en las primeras décadas del siglo XIX.2 Para las décadas centrales del siglo XIX destacan los trabajos de Reinerio Lebroc, con un claro matiz “nacionalista”,3 el mismo que se observa en los numerosos trabajos de Manuel Maza Miquel, S.I., sobre la Iglesia cubana finisecular, que se basan principalmente en la correspondencia de los obispos de Cuba con la Santa Sede.4 En este breve trabajo de síntesis pretendemos ofrecer un panorama de la situa- ción de la Iglesia en Cuba al acercarse la crisis que acabó con la dominación española. Al ser una institución estrechamente ligada al Estado y al “ser” español, la evolución de la Iglesia en la Cuba del XIX hay que entenderla en el contexto de la evolución política y social que finalizará con la independencia de la isla en 1898. La Iglesia durante la etapa de “azúcar e Ilustración” La época del primer gran boom azucarero en Cuba, entre 1790 y 1830, fue tam- bién la única en la que la Iglesia gozó de un relativo esplendor en la isla. -
Case Comments and Notes Chronique De Jurisprudence Et Notes Monopoly, Detriment to the Public, and the K. C. Irving Case
167 Case Comments and Notes Chronique de Jurisprudence et Notes Monopoly, Detriment to the Public, and the K. C. Irving Case INTRODUCTION The K. C. Irving case, reaching, as it did, the Supreme Court of Canada, is of substantial importance with respect to the effectiveness of the monopoly and merger provisions of the Combines Investigation Act. In a recent Annual Report, the Director of Investigation and Research stated: On November 16, 1976, the Supreme Court of Canada handl'd down its unanimous decision dismissing the Crown’s appeal against the acquittal in the K. C. Irving case. That decision disposed of whatever hopes may have remained that the present criminal prohibition of mergers could be an effective instrument.1 The need for a Supreme Court judgment, particularly in a merger case, had been prominent in the thinking of the administrators of the Combines Investigation Act ever since the trial court decisions acquitting the defendants in I960 in the Beer2 and Sugar3 cases. A common theme in the opinions expressed by Combines officials was that these decisions, by requiring a virtual elimination of competition to be illegal, seriously weakened the merger provision of the Act. The 1960 amendment specified that a lessening or likely lessening of competition to the detriment of the public in a merger case was proof of illegality. The Beer and Sugar decisions were arrived at under legislation in which operation, or likely operation to the detriment of the public, was required for illegality. In view of the different provisions, it is somewhat surprising that these decisions were as influential in official thinking as they evidently were. -

MACKENZIE 1971 SINON FKASER UNIVERSITY July 1971 APPROVAL Name : Ken L. Mackenzie Degree: Naster of Arts Title of Thesis: Harold A, Innis-A study of creative intellect Examining Committee : Chairman: George Cook , J'L M. BumsteZ Senior Supervisor Michael Fellman Donald Kubesh External Examiner Date Approved: ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes the maturation of the thought of Harold A. Innis about problems he considered to be of funda- mental importance to the maintenance of a humanist tradition, and as such, it is principally a study in the history of ideas. In order to clarify the intent of his often scattered writings, the study is organized thematically into four chapters, This approach demonstrates bc%h the rekted xtzre of his ideas and emphasizes the course of Innist intellectual development, Tho first chapter, although chronologically organized to indicate the temporal frame work and formative intellectual influences, stresses Innis? conception of the role of humanist dissent in the academic community and the hwnanistTs res- ponsibility to society. The second theme examines Innis' scholarly tssk, which he inherited from Adam Smith and Thorstein Veblen, of dissent from economic and methodological orthodoxy, His philosophical and historical approach rejected the simplicity of the price theories of economics and led him to criticize knowledge derived solely by the scientific method, Having argued that Innis early held a skeptical attitude to- wards the scientific method, the chapter concludes with the crystallization of his position in the mid-thirties and the implications of this pooition in the cold war.
