-New Deal On Education | Is Clarified By. Ottawa.

By DAL WARRINGTON

OTTAWA (CP) — Some of the confusion over how Ottawa’s new deal for higher education wilt affect the Atlantic prov- inces seemed to be cleared up Tuesday but the four eastern ‘premiers waited for Prime Min- ister Pearson to reconsider some of their objections.

After a night of refiguring the proposed federal formula. for tax transfers Premier Small- wood -of Newfoundland was somewhat happier.

‘It appears we're gaining a couple of million dollars instead‘ of losing $2,000,000 as we thought.” But he, said, ‘This still doesn't satisfy us.”

“There seems to be pretty general agreement among the <_provinces- about the proposed - plan to provide more money for

N.B. STANDS TO GAIN

Premier Campbell of Prince Edward Island. said he thought the federal government under- estimated the full effect of this proposal on the provinces.

Premier “Robichaud of *New Brunswick said. his province stands to gain even with the proposed withdrawal from voca- tional high school programs but the gain would not be enough to cope with over-all rising costs-of-education=

“We still don’t linow exactly what New Brunswick will get in obscurerIt's a problem of defi- nition:””

What was needed was a defi- nition of where secondary or high-schoo} education ends~ and higher education begins: In some provinces, Mr. Robichaud

Premier Smallwood said Ot -tawa admits this definition is a Other hand Ottawa _ obviously matter for, the provinces. On the other hand - Ottawa obviously had the right to determine the basis on which it will pay for higher education.

The—university. --aid proposals in themselves were fine. ‘‘We have no quarrel with them. But vocational education is one of our greatest problems.”

“Why: did they have to bring trade schools into it?”’ he asked.

“Why not tackle the problem of universities by itself?”

OTTAWA P.E.I. Premier Alex Campbell said Tuesday that the federal government's new proposal for financial as- sistance. to higher education is sufficiently cloudy as to cause him to delay comment.

He said that at present he does not want to quote any figures because of what appears to be a wide diversity of opinion as to how much P.E.I. would receive under the proposal and how much it would lose because of federal withdrawal from voca- tional training programs.

OTTAWA (CP)—David Mac- Donald,’ Conservative MP for Prince, says censorship is so stringent in Portugal that even the Pope is rezarded by the dic- tatorship as a subversive.

Mr. MacDonald, a United Church minister, and Andrew Brewin, lawyer and NDP MP for Toronto Greenwood, spent four days in Lisbon last week to collect information for _a group which seeks amnesty for poli- tical prisoners in Portugal.

Mr, . MacDonald. and Mr. Brewin will address this group, which paid their fares to Portu- gal and arranged interviews, at a Toronto meeting this. week- end.

At a press conference Tues- day, the Prince Edward Island MP said an article in a Roman Catholic publication on the elec- tion of Pope Paul was censored by: the state to delete a refer- ence to the Pope being open to 4 ideas of the modern world.

Mr. Brewin said he and Mr. MacDonald entered Portugal as tourists and that.as far as they

“But there wasn't.much cloak and dagger,”’ Mr. Brewin added.

He ‘said Portugal,-an ally. of Canada in NATO, Has more po- _|litical prisoners proportionately | ' than any country in the world.

There was complete negation of any form of justice, a reign of terror through preventive de- tention and police and torture to extort confessions.

MANILA (AP) — The seven anti .- .Communist allies with troops... _fighting...in . South._.Viet.

The offer was in a final com- munique of the seven-country anti-Communist summit ing in Manila, which also pro- duced a statement on the Goals of Freedom and a Declaration of -Peace and Progress in Asia and the. Pacific.

Prime Minister Keith Holy-

oake of New Zealand summed ‘it up: ‘‘The ball is now in North Viet. Nam’s court.”’ Concerning the anti-Commu- nist foreign forces in South Viet Nam, now numbering 370,000, the communique said:

U.S. sources noted it would take at least six months to with- draw the ‘huge force, including 330,000 Americans.

» The South Vietnamese govern-

ment subscribed to the with- drawal, but its own qualification was embodied in the commu- nique. It said South. Viet Nam, mindful of past experience, would ‘‘insist that any negotia- tions leading to the end of hostil- ities incorporate effective inter- national guarantees.”

While offfering “a ‘road to peace, South Viet Nam’s allies vowed. that the country would not be conqueted by aggressive force.

Minister ieee ted te’ cone mons Tuesday the revenue de- partment is conducting a ‘‘semi- judicial investigation’ into a car .import .transaction involv- ing Studebaker and Volks wagen.

Revenue Minister Benson con- firmed that the transaction is under investigation. ;

Neither minister offered a di- rect reply when T. C. Douglas, NDP leader, asked whether “they were aware the transaction involved Studebaker of Canada buying Volkswagens in the U.S., importing . them. into Canada pe i under the Canada-U.S.

uto agreement and then resell- ing them to Volkswagen at a “handsome. profit.”

REJECTS MOTION

Speaker Lucien Lamoureux disallowed. a motion by Alfred Hales (PC — Wellington South) for an emergency debate on the issue.’

Mr. Drury, Mr. Benson, Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Martin and John Turner, minister with- out portfolio, all argued against an ‘emergency debate.

Michael. Starr _(PC—Ontario) said Studebaker, in the throes of going out of business at Ham- ilton,-made; a deal. with another company to-evade duty and-that ee was party to the

Mr. Benson said he accepted full responsibility in the matter, but gave no“tirect reply to the question.
