ISLIIIID DELEGATES

(Continued from Page i)

Millen and many other delegates including Mr. Holman said they were not only well satisfied but delighted and that they believed now the Progressive Conservative party was on the highrosd to power at Ottawa.

"At previous conventions, Prince Edward Island members have gen- erally voted in s bloc." Dr. Mac- Millan said. “I would say that this 1948 Progrcsive Conservative Con- vention was no exception to this broad general rule. We all took the position of may the best man win. and personally I'm convinced that that is exactly whst happen- ed today."

The Island delegation was par- ticularly plesse’ to note that in Mr. Drew's acceptance of the leadership, he mentioned Prince Edward Island first in s brief rc- view of the highlights of each of the Canadian Provinces. The new leader made it clear that he is well aware that the Province and

specifically Charlottetown is the cradle of Confederation. At this convention. delegates

from the Province played s role principally in the resolutions corn- mittee and behind the scenes of the main platform. None were cs1- led upon to move or to meek on n resolution, nor ‘did they take part in resolution dbcussious.

Definite Views

‘There's no question of our delegation not having very def- inite views on certain resolutions affecting the Msritimes," Dr. MaoMillan said. "The fact is that in committee we worked to frame these resolutions in such a wav as would be acceptable to all Msritimers of the party. When you've worked dav and night to perfect s. resolution. it would be folly to get up in open convention two days later and waste time talk- ing about something youwe ap- proved in the first place."

The delegation. however. did take part in framing an amendment to ,- wm g3 pcrtsinint to the Maritime Provinces. together with delegates from Nova scotls and New Brunswick. Wording of the amendment was: "Now therefore be it resolved that the Progressive Conservative may niedses itself to pursue a fired 001167. ""1"" only by the mics of sound econ- omics, and adopt! "19 N004 DP"!- clple of alleviating economic dif- ficulties of the Maritime Prov- irzces,_arisinl by reason of 800- grsuhieai locations."

lately accepted that theme as set out in the series of planks adopt- ed st the convention as the party's polished-up program.

A convention hall seething with a tumult of ovation-some 6,000 persons were contributing to the din—heard him approve the new policies as progressive.

And, said Mr. Drew amid a wave of cheers, they would Win the next election.

After itrall-the pro-convention campaign of his supporters and their whirlwind efforts for him in the three days of the session-it became evident that Mr. Drewhed wielded the old wand that brought him to power in Ontario in 1943. 1945 and this year. .

1t was clear that this spell had operated on e. coast-to-coast bssis, not only sweeping up the voting strength in the so-called Ontario- Quebec axis of Central Canada but taking in the outlying provinces as well.

To observers, it looked as though the Ontario Premier hauled s ms- jority—in most cases overwhelm- ing—out of every Province except Saskatchewan, where Diefenbsker probably took the bulk of the 94 votes.

On the other hand. another con- clusion was that Mr. Diefenbaker-~ tall and earnest Prairie lawyer and parliamentarian-had drawn sup- port from every Province, too. ex- cept for a negligible vote from Quebec.

The vote from the French-speak- ing Province, it was conceded, went practically all for Mr. Drew and Mr. Fleming, with the young. est candidate drawing the bulk of his support from that Province.

For Mr. Diefenbaker, it looked as though his support csme large- ly out of the Western Provinces— where he is- noted as a top-flight criminal lawyer- and from On- tario. He got. it seemed. only slight backing from the Marltimes.

The seaboard Provinces undoubt- edly were preponderantly for Mr. Drew. So were Quebec and On- tario. That told the tale.

But the size of the msjority was surprising, not only to those watching the convention but to the Drew forces themselves.

Sources close to the Premier-a confident figure on the surface- said that far from looking on the fight as a pushover, he had been decidedly anxious about the chan- ces of his selection.

After the election. Mr. Drew re- ceived an ovation that swept through the delegate ranks of all Provinces.

Both Mr. Dlefenbsker and Mr;

special oar for the return journey to Charlottetown at 6:36 o'clock this morning. W. Cheaters. Mo- Lure, MP. for Queen's. and sole Federal member of the delegation, left Ottawa Saturday night for

Toronto where he is spending a day or two prior to returning to

Charlottetown.

Fleming made it clear they were behind him now, ss they had ear-

battle for the man most capable of leading the party to victory. rather than a matter of personal advance- ment.

Of all the three candidates who would have led the party. MIR Drew is the only one without a seat in the Commons—-in fact, he has no legislative seat at all. He was defeated personally in the last Ontario general election, though he led his party to a general vic- tory.

At n press conference after his selection, he said he would look for a seat in the Commons before the next session of Parliament. due to open about the end of January. If successful there, he would have his House seat before going to the people as national leader.

The new lender would not say where he plimncd to run, though he declared several Commons members already had offered to

open up their seats for him by re- signing. That contest would be Mr.

Drew's first in the Federal field. thought he has run several-and won most-provlncially and in the municipal arena.

i-le was defeated the first time he ran for the Ontario Legislature in 1937 but came back in 1938 to become leader. winning a Provin- cial Legislature seat the next. year.

From then on, there was no holding him. i-ie won in the next three elections, his national repu- tation growing as he gained head- lines over his accusations against the Federal Government on pre- war armaments contracts, his charges in connection with Can- ada's Hong Kong force, and his stand on Dominion-Provincial rela- tions. > -

When John Bracken announced retirement this year because of sge and health, Mr. Drew was immed- iately in the forefront as a pros- pective successor. Until Sept. fli, he remained coy on his plans to go gunning for the job.

Even after that. he said little personally, though an army of supporters worked like beavers on his behalf. The results went on the record Saturday.

UTRIDEP, Holland. Sept. 27- (Reuters) — Borne 10.000300 uul- versityutudenie will be following courses of higher education in more than 4,000 universities throughout the world by 1060. That is the conclusion reached by some 800 professors from 03 countries who met here in. Aug- ust st the preparatory confers rue of representatives of universities to discuss post-war problems of higher education.

The professors studied reports of progress, students. p. “ and plans from universities throughout the world. Prom the balance sheet of these reports. it was found thatthere are at present some 5.000.000 university students enrolled at the universities of the world —and that by i960 that fig- ure will almost certainly be doubl- ed.

The professors themselves agreed that what one described as "this world phenomenon which may turn out. s riddle" was already dangerously overtsxing university facilities and staff.

In addition to long-term plan- ning, the conference discussed some of the more immediate plans to meet shortages of textbooks. classrooms and teachers. In sonlr countries, like Holland. there will have to be curtailment of the traditional free entry to universi- ties.

It was on this point that the main cleavage of the conference occurred. '

Reprdsentotives of the United States and the British Dominions were generally in favor of an open door and education for the largest number. whereas the majority of the British and Continental dele- gates expressed a preference for maintaining university standards by limitation and rigid selection of students.

No -' riminatlon

There was, however, unanimity on the necessity for non-discrim- ination on grounds of religion, politics. sex or race.

In the more abstract fields of discussion. the professors drafted a number of pisns to meet the general international education situation.

They unanimously agreed upon the establishment o! a bureau to wt. as a clearing house for in- formation about the‘ universities of the world, and to include B large reference library, s statisti- cal survey of facts deslins with university and higher education. facilities for the interchange of students and professors. and s sort of employment agency based on available foreign posts-

The bureau will be established in Paris in nswcistion with the United Nations Educational. scien- tific and Cultural organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.) Details are to be decided by a lo-ma-n interim oom- mittee.

They also agreed to set up “in the fairly near fixture." s Pflfmli" ent international organisation w provide an international co-opers- tion centre. to promote interna- tional understanding through hiih‘ er education. and to smnse for an even wider world conference in 1950.
