But mostly it was a day for | Christian religious services, fam- | ily gatherings and feasting—even | behind the Iron Curtain.

For the first time in several years, a Roman Catholic priest, Rev. Louis F. Dion of Worcester, Mass., conducted midnight mass for Moscow’s foreign residents of his faith. He was let into Russia | last winter. Episcopal services were held in the British Embassy in Moscow with a midnight mass.

Tass, the official Soviet news agency, which rarely mentions re- ligious events, said special Christ- mas services were heavily at- tended in all Roman Catholic churches throughout Russia.

Poland’s Communist press fell in step with the country’s ardent Christmas spirit and prifited tra- ditional holiday greetings to its readers.

Diefenbaker Offers Quebec Chance to Share Back Grants

000 in accumulated federal grants to Quebec universities.

The offer, dependent upon reaching agreement on an alter- native plan to provide assistance to universities, was made in a letter Mr. Diefenbaker wrote Mr. Sauve. The letter was released Thursday.

It was a reply to a letter Dec.

14 by Mr. Sauve asking for fur-'

ther information on the alterna- tive plan announced by Mr. enbaker Dec. 9.

At present, the federal govern- ment pays grants of $1.50 a head of population in each province, to be prorated among the universi- ties in each province on the basis of student population.

QUEBEC ONLY HOLDOUT

All provinces except Quebec have accepted the grants, distrib- uted through the Canadian Uni- versities Foundation, a private

jbody made up of university heads. The foundation now holds

in trust some $25,000,000—includ- ing $7,500,000 for 1959-60—as Que- bec’s share.

In Quebec City, a provincial go ernment spokesman said the prime minister’s letter would be submitted soon to the Quebec cabinet. Speculation there was that the letter meets Quebec’s views on the main point that an adjustment in corporate income taxes could be made without the province being required apply additional revenues from the change directly to provincial uni- versity grants.

The new proposal, apparently designed te satisfy Quebec ob- jections to federal university grants as an infringement on pro- vincial rights, would be in effect from next April 1 until March 31, 1962, when current federal-_provin-

cial fiscal arrangements expire. }

PLAN DESCRIBED

Mr. Diefenbaker’s letter de- scribed the plan's application to Quebec this way:

“If the legislature of Quebec should choose to raise the provin- cial corporation tax to 10 per cent or more of corporation profits, corporations liable thereto will be allowed an abatement of 10 per cent, instead of the present nine per cent, against the federal tax on corporation profits.

“The grant of $1.50 per capita of population which the federal government has with the sanction of Parliament been providing for universities would cease so far as the universities of the province of Quebec are concerned.

“The difference between the yield from the one per cent addi- tional tax abatement and the $1.50 per capita population of your province will be adjusted so that the fiscal position of the federal government remains unchanged.”

Italy, with its scenic beauty and historic attractions, has about 15,500,000 foreiga tourists an- ually.

“All are determined that this | be an alliance of equals,” he said. “I think that this is pretty fundamental to maintaining the strength of the alliance.” DISARMAMENT ISSUE

Green said in Paris and later in Ottawa that Canada was par- ticularly happy at a NATO decl- sion to accept an important role in disarmament.

He told an Ottawa press con- ference there seems te be far more hope~ now’ for. an East- West disarmament agreement. Canada is a member of a 10- nation disarmament committee which, the five Western coun- tries have proposed, should get down to work about March 15 | at Geneva.

HOLY LAND | An unusual peace in thé Holy Land of Christ’s birth allowed the greatest number of pilgrims in years to visit Bethlehem and attend midnight rites and Christmas morning services. But peace did not reign there —not entirely. An Israeli front- ier soldier died from gunfire

| alent thn chores of Ge Gea af | “| Galilee. Israeli spokesmen said | the fire came from Syria.

Meanwhile pilgrims flocked the dusty 11 miles from Jerus- alem to Bethlehem, a right ac- corded by an annual truce be- tween Jews and Arabs.

The Israelis and Moslems set aside their years-long hostility in the divided holy city of Jer- usalem to allow the Christians to make their pilgrimage.

The Christian travellers were greeted with carols sung in an open field believed to be - the place told by angels of ‘the tidings of great joy.”

POPE’S MESSAGE

Pope John said in a Christ- mas message that ‘“‘things and institutions—the ,state—are pri- marily for man; not man for them.”” He called for a true peace that respects the dignity of man. “There is not a state of war but neither is there peace,” said the pontiff.

CHRISTMAS ARRIVALS

Twenty European refugee families—each with one mem- ber suffering from tuberculo- sis—arrived in Halifax Christ- mas Eve under the new Cana- dian plan for admitting a lim- ited number of handicapped refugees.

There were 71 men, women and children in the group, the second to arrive under the Ca- nadian formula for assisting tuber e ular immigrants from European refugee camps.
