! Farm Machinery Probe i At long last, steps have been taken to get the Barber inquiry into farm machinery costs functioning. Public hearings are scheduled to start in | Western Canada early next year. The inquiry seemed: to disappear from view almost from the moment it was set up.in May, but it has been ex- plained that C.L. Barber, economics professor at the University of Mani- ~ toba, first had to free himself of his fesponsibilities at the university be- fore he could actively form plans for-

ost

_. his one-man. inquiry. Then he was

hampered by difficulties in recruiting staff because of.a shortage of avail- abig-economists in the country. Now avbasic working’organization has been formed. fac “éTo date seven studies on the sweep- ig problem of farm machinery prices

The commissioner © isgempoweredto go fully into the impact of financing, distribution and sefvicing costs on the total price to the buyer, to compare .. similar machinery costs in other countries, to delve into the historical and‘ pres-" ‘ent relationship between the price and: productivity of the equipment, the present and prospective compet- itive position of the Canadian farm

-machinery industry in both domestic rt markets as compared with | the situation in other countries, and into measures that would contribute

“to the expansion of efficient produc-

tion, the attainment of technological advances, the improvement of dis- tribution, financing and servicing facilities and the enhancement of the industry’s competitive position so that ~ Canadian farmers would be ensured’ the most favorable prices for machin- ery parts.

‘The inquiry may prove a long- drawn-out affair, but if it lives up to

' its advance billing it will be well

worth while. :

Higher Education Récently there were more than 2,000 university students massed out- side the front door of the main build- ing of the University of Toronto, pro- testing the structure of the student award program. They wanted more -money to be given in straight grants rather than loans, simpler application ptfocedures and no means test on par- ents. They were met by the provincial - minister of education, William Davis. A Liberal MLA, Robert Nixon, and NDP leader Donald MacDonald also ~ spoke to them. All these speakers were in agreement with the students. Mr. Davis promised a .committee to study the problem. Mr. Nixon went farther and said that eventually there . would be free university education and his party was all for it. This was not what the group had asked for, .

_ bat of course it put the speaker firm--

ly on the side of “progress.”

The incident has prompted an Ont- - atio commentator to remark that higher education has become the big political fad in recent years. Once it became evident we were going to

“need many more university and technological school graduates, every politician in the country, ‘it , seems,

. got on the bandwagon. Privately they

may have strong reservations about

=

promise or hedge. Not once on @ political platform has there been a. blunt question as to whether or not there should: be free _ university education. Which means, whether

what the effect on society would be if they did, and whether this idea was in harmony with what we calcu- late our future needs for higher- trained personnel will be.‘

‘that we don’t need greater emphasis on higher education; but if we get it without. question; how good will it

more fundamental question of what ‘higher education really consists of,

acquirement really are.

Here we may leave both the poli- ticlans and the press commentators, and take our seats among the Uni- versity of Toronto freshmen as they commenced “their studies this term, while Dr. Claude. Bissell, president

pounds the matter. We have space only for a short excerpt from his ad- dress on this occasion, but it carries ‘a load of meaning. Pale “Your first and most important milieu,” Dr. Bissell told his hearers,

unless you pursue them diligently, enthusiastically and adventurously, you have no right to be here. You

in this way, that you will experience

and your wider interests. You will be educating yourselves. No university gives you an education; all it does is make it possible for you to attain one. An education attained by personal ef- fort begins with wisdom and humility.” ; :

_ Given, a mandate to hunt down the

joint Senate-Commons committee on consumer credit has warned that not a tittle of inflationary pressure will escape investigation. These are heart- ening words; comments the Globe and Mail; but unfortunately the com- mittee does not. promise to be entire- ly consistent. Depending on one’s sympathies, one might overlook its : apparent lack of interest in the 30 per. cent wage increase for packing- house workers announced last Thurs- day: But a more serious oversight, one might think, is the committee’s un- concern with the low productivity and hth wages of another class of work- ers—Members of Parliament.

fronts. What excuse, then, can there be for the fact that on the first day of last week, only eight of the 24 committee MPs were present for an economics lecture by Deputy Finance Minister Robert Bryce? Or. that this

second day? This is not, the kind of performance that is likely to. prove an inspiring example, either to in- dustry.or to labor.

Keeping It Alive Island Liberals are to he com- mended on their decision to present, at their national party conference at Ottawa next week, a resolution deal- ing with our car ferry situation and

ince to uninterrupted service on the Borden-Tormentine route. It will be recalled that some time ago, Premier Campbell stated that three proposals for taking the operation of the ser-

port Minister Pickersgill. They were all aimed at providing a setup that ,would prevent future strike tieups ‘on our main link with the mainland. Whether there has been-any reply by Ottawa to these suggestions we do not know. In any case, it is highly important that the isstie be kept alive. Our predicament during the recent rail strike focuséd nation-wide atten- tion on our claims in this régard,.and if we allow them to lapse again through ‘complacency wé shall have ourselves to blame. :
