Federal Govt. to Dis. continue Grants t0 Provinces for Tech- nical Education.

i

(From Our Own Correspondent)

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 15.—St1‘0I18 condemnation of the government's proposal to cut out grants to the provinces ior technical education de- veloped ln the House of Commons to- day, being voiced by Conservatives, farmer and labor members. Under the proposal, the appropriation of $1,100,000 will cease at the end of the presentiiscal year, the provinces be- ing entitled to draw their respective shares of whatever amount remains unexpended at any time during the next flve years. .

The government was urged‘ to con- tinue the grant. Premier King en- deavored to justify the policy of the government on the ground that when it had been decided to assist the pro- vinces in technical education the heavy obligations falling on the Do- minion aa a result oi’ the war had not been contemplated. The constitu- tion had placed responsibility in ed- ucational matters on the provinces and he thought it rightly rested there.
