PAGE 4 : A Big Occasmn

; The province joins with. the faculty of Saint Dunstan’s Univer- sity in welcoming the visiting prem- iers of the Atlantic Provinces. Que- bec and Ontario to our capital city today, where. along with Premier Shaw, they will receive honorary Doctor of Laws degrees at special Centennial convocation exercises. This is a gracious gesture on the part of the university, and one which serves. incidentally, to bring together the government leaders of our six eastern provinces in a man- ner calculated to promote mutual goodwill and understanding.

., Premier Shaw. who is slated to deliver a speech on the present state of: Confederation at this afternoon‘s function. indicates that he will have some blunt remarks to make on the subject of federal-provincial rela- tipns. Let us hope that he will be able, as well, to put his message aeioss in a manner that will be in Ripping with the amenities of the oiasion.. Timeliness is everything. (its doesn’t harangue an academic afiem-bly in the same way that he wfiuld address a political meeting.

fBut knowing Premier Shaw as wfii do. we are sure that his remarks WflI be well within the bounds of déorum. .And certainly he would bg remiss if he failed. in dealing wfih a subject of this kind. to note up disappointing treatment we hgre received in our efforts to obtain fifial relief at Ottawa.

fiAfter all. Premier. Lesage did rig hesitate to speak strongly when

dealt with Quebec grievances at. ta sod-turning ceremony here in c nection with our Confederation orial Building. We welcomed hip remarks at that time. as indicat- the national importance he at- téiahed to the ceremony and the fact tlzt this subject was of paramount c corn to his government and prov- Similarly. we are sure. he aiil his fellow premiers will recog- nize that what Mr. Shaw may have to say about our Island grievances under Confederation are of equal concern to us, and deserving of the same sympathetic hearing.

Harlem In Revoli

Not the least. disturbing feature of the bitter race violence now spread from Harlem to Brooklyn, New York, is that it will stiffen the anti-negro prejudice of the whites al- ready inclined to the views repre- sented politically by the Republican

' presidential candidate. Senator Gold-

water.

The rioting will undoubtedly raise the question of how useful the re- cently passed Civil Rights Bill Is going to be. since most of the rights legislated in the bill are already pos- eessed by negroes in New York. The exception are the clauses banning discrimination In employment. and these will be slurred over by extrem-

fit factions.

ment. with anythelr attendant evfls. Juvenile delinquency runs at a rate more than double the rest of the city.

But it is the figures on educa- tion that, are perhaps most signifi- cant. The third grade pupils are generally a year behind the rest of the city. By the time they get to the eighth grade, they are 21/; years behind. The result is that about 41 per cent of children entering Har- lem high schools drop out before graduation.

Researchers have drawn up a

- comprehensive plan to combat these

Harlem problems. They estimate the cost at about $110 million spread over three years. So far, the feder- al government has allocated $1 mil- lion.

In the meantime. it is clear that the youth of Harlem havereached a point of despair and hopelessness that makes them capable of any vio- lence. In the interests of law and order. this violence must be curbed: but there is little justice in calling it anti-social. so long as it remains anti-negro. It will diminish only as the disease is relieved—by a major effort on the part of all concerned to raise educational, social and economic levels.

Where Was The Issue?

It took seven days to debate the government‘s student loan bill in the House of Commons, chiefly be- cause of the vociferous protest rais- edyby Quebec Conservatives and Cretitis-tes who regarded the meas- ure as an unwarranted invasion of Quebec's exclusive jurisdiction over education.

In view of the backlog of import- ant business stiil to be transacted. this is indeed a miserable showing. As the Toronto Telegram points out, the bill merely provides federal guarantees on bank 'loans up to $1,000 a year to needy students. It is a legitimate action by anational government in an age when rapid technical advance makes higher education imperative for growing numbers of students. It is no more an invasion of provincial rights than the federal guarantee on National Housing Act loans is an invasion of provincial control over property rights. .

It could just. as logically be ar- gued that Ottawa should not make income tax concessions to taxpayers with sons and daughters in univer- sity; that Ottawa should pay its civil servants based in Quebec through some provincial authority. because they spend part of their wages or salaries on the education of their children. '

The significant pi'ovincial rights and responsibilities in education are these: The provision" and financing of schools; the‘chartering and sup- port of universities; the provision of teacher training facilities; the control of curriculum; the setting of standards of achievement.

Quebec’s opposition to direct fed- eral aid to the institutions of learn- ing is understandable. It raises the fear that it might invite interven- tion in the nature of the education provided with such aid. But federal aid to the students themselves raises no such spectres. It will simply make it possible for many students who would otherwise be denied high- er education to get specialized train- ing in universities .or technical schools. The student will be free to accept or reject the loan. If he chooses to accept the loan. he will take his education in an institution wholly under provincial authority.

But even if there was doubt on this point. Quebec is in no obvious danger because it is contracting out of the scheme. Premier Leeage al- ready has a plan in operation, which is said to be more generous than its federal counterpart. Quebec will continue on her present course and will be affected only by section 12 of the bill which provides for com- pensation to non-participating prov- inces.

Here was a case. obviously, of much ado about nothing. Seven days of it. debating on issue that didn’t exist!

The Prime Minister's inept] handling of a' question about a study of inter-regional depen- dence in Canada shouldn’t be allciwed' to Obscure the fact that the study is worthivhile. He left the impression it was concern- ed only with Quebec “separa- tism” and had to correct him- self later.

Ask almost any Quebecols "Why separatism?" and the chances are that sometime dur- ing the discussion he will throw the question back at you: “What about the separa- tists In the rest of the coun- lrv."

Just because separatists out- side Quebec don't put dyna‘ mlie in mail boxes or rob ar- senals doesn't make them any less separatists. in fact.

The prairie farmer who looks on all "easterners" as Bay St. robber barons. the Torontonian who looks on prairie folk as a horde of freeloaders. the Marl- timer who still thinks of On- tariogas "‘Upper Canada.” the British columbian who looks on the rest of Canada as a sort of “white man's burden" —— each is a separatist in his own way, except he's not as open and

honest about it as the militant. Quebec separatist. ~

How well did they build? How interdependent are we?

It’s a fact that prairie farm- ers are much more ready to acknowledge a debt to Britain. which now buys less than one- third of their wheat. than to the parts of the country that built the railways and financed the canals that make exports of the wheat possible.

It's also a fact that an Ontar- io auto worker is much quicker to recognize a farm "raid" on the treasury in time of drought than to acknowledge that the prairie farmer pays $2.500 for a $2.000 car.

Are Canadians dependent on each other. regardless of where they live? Of course. they are. Indeed. most of them will probably be amazed to learn just how tightly the econ- omic fabric of the nation is wo- ven together.
