OTTAWIA (OP) —-The federal government Thursday increased by, half its grants to Canadian universities, boosting the total to $25,600,000 this year.

The grants are to be made on the basis of $1.50 a head of popu- lation, up from the present. scale of $1 on which the original esti— mate of $17,100,000 for the year was made.

The money is to be distributed by the National Conference of Canadian Universities under the terms of an agreement reached March 26, 157.

Ninenty-one universities and in stitutions of higher learning are eligible to receive the grants, but only 84——all but seven in Quebec provincth collect.

The Quebec government has prohibited universities in that province from accepting the fed- eral grants, cl ' 'ng they are an invasion of p ' al rights in ed- ucation.

Farming

G‘U'EIDIAPFH, Ont. (0P) — The agricultural industry of the fu- ture will be more mechanized, more specialized, more commer- cialized and more highly capital- ized says Dr. W. M. Drmmnond, Canadian economist.

He told delegates to the agri- cultural engineers conference here that agriculture would be more intensive, more scientific, more competitive and more char- acterized by business risks than at present.

“In view of these prospects, it will not be surprising if ,we see still more farmers asking for such things as price and income supports, crop insurance and marketing boards. Such demands may well be accompanied by further growth of the current trend towards vertical integra- tion,” he added-

lOOK TO OTTAWA

By IAN MACDONALD Canadian Press Staff Writer ST. JOHN’S, Nfld. (GP) More spending and more revenues were predicted in the 1958-59 New- foundland budget“ tabled in the legislature Thursday. It contained no tax changes.

Fina-nee ‘linister Spencer, re- porting 3 1957-58 deficit of $2.- 297,000, forecast a whopping gross surplus by next March 31 of $14,- 817,000. Expenditures would be $59,32,3000 compared with reve- nues of $74,140,0’“).

The finance minister told the legislature, however, that the $25,000,000 jump in expected rev- enues may not materialize. Ex-

$5,000,000 in transitional grants— would not be considered during the current session.

MORTAL BLOW? . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

“Should the anticipated $13,- 000,000 . . . not in fact be paid over to us then the resulting shortage . . . would obviously strike a mortal blow at our cap- ital account program this yea-r,” Mr. Spencer said in his budget speech.

If necessary, N e w foundland would reduce expenditures or in- crease the value of provincial bond issues to meet the loss.

There was only one stickler in the budget.

RECESSION HURT

“We closed the financial year with a deficit of $2,297,000,” Mr. Spencer told the legi51ature. An expected surplus of $67,000 was wiped out by “the recession, de: pression, or whatever honorable members may please to call it.”

The recession “swept across Newfoundland and the- rest of Canada for more than a year

past.” The government “found Itself under the sheer necessity . . . to

ITINERARY INCOMPLETE

Details of Mr. Diefenbaker’s itinerary have not yet been com- pleted beyond the dates he will be in the United Kingdom. He will be away from Canada for, five weeks, returning sometime in December.

Diefeubaker said in a statement late Thursday that he had made known some time ago to the governments of the coun- tries on his itinerary hisdesire to make a tour of Commonwealth countries. An invitation to visit these countries had come from each prime minister.

“I regard most highly Can- ada's association'wi‘th the far- flung family of vigorous, forward- looking and freedom~loving coun- tries which comprise the Com- monwealth,” Mr. D ief enbaker said in his statement.

“It has been impressed. upon me that I should visit as many of these countries as possible so as thereby to become better ac- quainted with their leaders and peoples, and perhaps to make some contribution to peace in the strengthening of those spiritual bonds, invisible but most signific- ant, that bind us together."
