“More For Education”

Speaking in Newfoundland this week, Prime Minister Pearson told a Liberal rally there was no doubt that the federal government must do more for education. The present federal support, he conceded, “is not enough.” “Every boy and girl must be given access to every type of education as far as he or she can go. This must be done,” Mr. Pearson added. However, the federal government would have to. discuss the matter with the prov- inces, which have the primary respon- sibility for education. Later he pro- mised to make a policy statement af-' ter the Bladen report on higher ed- acation is made public on, Wednesday.

Mr. Diefenbaker. has also, been stressing this issue, but in more con- crete terms. He proposes, as a means of getting a national educa- tion plan into orbit, to raise immedi- ately the federal yovernment’s per~ capita grant to the provinces for uni-

--versities from $2 to $3. Periodic in-

creases would bring the figure to $5. - The Maritime Provinces, which suffer undue hardship under the per capita system because of small populations but high university enrolments, would receive a special allowance,

Now that the Conservative leader has made his party’s position clear, the électors will want more than pleasing generalities from Mr. Pear- son on the subject. Doubtless he will be more specific in his statement next week. But the public will-also have _ the right to remind him that dur- ing the 1963 election campaign he sromised university students $10 million annually in government schol- © arships. This promise could have seen implemented without infringing om provincial responsibility for ed- | acation as set out in the British North American Act. But for some reason it hasn’t been. implemented. ;

shall await with interest Mr. Pearson’s further pronouncement on the sub- ject.

The Patronage Game

_ The more one -reads about the views of some of his party, followers whom Mr. Diefenbaker quarrelled with when in office—or who quar- relled with him—the more one gets the feeling that Dief may have been more sinned against’ than sinning.

Take Pierre Sevigny, for instance, | who quit the cabinet in 1963 and is | now more_.or less back in the fold. |

Mr Sevigny is coming out with a book, entitled “This Game of Pol-

- ities,” which is billed as a highly

personalized account of the Diefen- baker years by a man who sat in the dinner councils of power during that exciting time.

According to an advance review of the book by Peter C. Newman, an- other Diefenbaker biographer, Mr. Sevigny places much of the blame for the 1962 Tory defeat in-Quebee on the Conservative administration’s handling of patronage. He roundly condemns the attitute of Messrs. Green and Hamilton for eliminating

the patronage that had flourished un- © der their predecessors. Patronage he

defines as the right to intercede for

gne’s friends and the anti-patronage |

dictums of Hamilton and Green as a denial of commonsense.

Mr. Savigny gave a further outline of his views in a television program to which reference was made in Wed- nesday’s Guardian, and in which he is quoted as saying that one of Dief’s most serious faults was his holding “almost a resentment” against ‘big pusiriess and the financial world be

cause “it stands to reason that f you ' get the powerful of the world behind |

you, the powerful of this world will influence those under them in your favor.” At first, said Mr. Sevigny,

| traditionally Conservative; big busi-

ness thought a great deal of Mr. Dief- éenbaker and ‘most of the time/ they got exactly what they wanted so they really had no reason to complain.” But later an impression that Mr.

| Diefenbaker was against them was | exploited by the opposition and

“streamlined” into a Tory defeat. This may be a “commonsense”

| view of politics; but it goes far to ex- | plain why the patronage game, as thus

defined, is regarded with growing dis- favor by the general public. Where it involves the assumption of “the right to intercede for one’s friends’’ it is

| particularly objectionable. The Dorion

inquiry supplied some pretty painful | examples of what this kind of thing can lead to, when it gets out of hand.

| The Wrong Course

Some gloomy speculations have | been occasioned by the demand of 86 | Indian parliamentarians—who includ- | ed both genera! secretaries of the rul- ing Congress party—that India should get into the nuclear weapons race as a result of its quarrel with Pakistan and the threat of intervention by Communist €hina. If this should

in the fire.

It is predicted, first, that Pakistan would feel that she too had to acquire nuclear arms, and she would probably get them from China. Indonesia,

‘will explode her first nuclear device within a year, might enter the race in earnest, also aided by China. Israel has been watching India’s nuclear policies with a wary eve: Indian and Egyptian scientists are said to have collaborated on nuclear developments, and Israel fears that.should India be- gin producing such weapons, Egypt would be a direct beneficiary.

That would mean, of course,:.nu- clear weapons for Israel, which has enough scientists to produce them. With Indonesia. and China nuclear powers, Australia and New Zealand could no longer rely upon conven- tional forces, while Marshal Tito’s Yugoslavia might well think it use- ful to follow ‘suit,

This is the nightmare that troub- les the world in this year of grace 1965. We can only hope that it is troubling Prime Minister Shastri as well, that it is haunting him night and day and that it will stiffen his determination to refuse, at all .costs, the demand that India—hitherto ‘fore- most among the nations dedicated to the principle of non-violence—should take this fateful step. ‘s

Adds To UN Role

Since the treaty ending four-pow- er occupation of its territory in 1955, Austria has taken an active part in United Natidts= economic, financial and hunanitarian activities. © Unitl now, however,-it has been unable.to take a full part in UN peacekeeping programs. :

The Austrian constitution prevent- ed sending Austrian troops abroad to participate in UN actions. Aus- trian medical teams did go to the Congo during the crisis there and Austrian police worked on Cyprus along with Canadian and other UN contingents. But regular military men were not sent.. Now 4he,national assembly has changed the constitu- | tion to permit Austrian military units to participate in actiéns abroad when réquested by international organiz- ations. ; re

~The government hails‘ this as

| proof of the country’s determination “to play a. tonstructive and useful role in the concern of nations.” This might be regarded as a small matter in itself, against the background of problems the UN has to deal with. But the example is one to be ac- claimed at a time when both France and the Soviet Union remain stub- bornly opposed to meeting their ob- ligations in this regard.

Mr. Winters Queried On Party Policies

Is Bob Winters the answer to, might, I expected, have some

IF WINTERS COMES ...

To discover Bob Winters’ atti- tude to the Liberal policies so much criticized by economists, and to measure the. likelihood of him trying to modify them, I asked Bob Winters whether he endorses the declared Liberal policies and program.

“IT am running as a Liberal candidate, and this shows that.I accept the Liberal program and

endorse the Liberal platform,’:-

he replied. — _

Mr. Winters has been critic- ized — unfairly, I think — for not resigning from his full-time job and from his dozen part time directorships as soon as he became a candidate for election. Would he resign from these if elected? He replied that there are certain steps required by law and by the customary prop- rieties.

“It is customary for any MP to divest himself of the director- ship of companies having con tracts with government, espec- jally in the field of public works. On appointment.to the Cabinet, one at once resigns all director- ships,”” he replied, indicating that he would take the proper course at the proper time.

SPEED-IN ALL WEATHER A hydrofoil vessel has two basic advantages over a conven- tional craft. It can operate at | wuuel higher speeds with the same power, and it can operate with less regard for sea condi- tions. A hydrofoil can put to sea in rough weather when conven tional craft cannot leave port. Hydrofoil vessels ride so smooth- ly that seasickness js rare. The hydrofoils are supended from the hull of the boat, and tHey operate much like the

oil wing of an airplane. The sur-

face of the foil generates a lift- ing force as the craft moves through the water. Gradually. the ship rises on its struts until ‘the hull is completely clear of the water..Because water is 800 times denser than air, the hydro- foil gets sufficient lift from a much smaller ‘wing’ than an

Anyone remember the war- time army medical officers, and their methods:of vaccinating and immunizing large numbers of men? -

Our recollection is that the glass cylinder of the weapon used was of about one quart ca- pacity. The duty. of the medical sergeant was to file off the point of the needle, so it would be blunt enough to test the bravery of the troops. Then the medical officer backed off a few paces, and took a run at the victim. It was bayonet drill in reverse, with ‘the recruits playing the role of the straw-filled dummy.

Things have changed. We see by the August issue of the Caria- dian Journal of Public Health that the Canadian armed forces have for several years been us ing device called a hypospray instead of needles. A jet of fluid is shot through the skin under high pressure, and the patient doesn’t feel a thing.
