Some Doubt New Canadian Force Will Reach Egypt

n'rTAwA tC.P)5T-he opposition tried vainly in the Commons Tues- day to find out whether Egypt has refused entry to more Cana- dian troops for the United Nations Emergency Force.

But outside the Commons offi- cials conceded privately that it is "quite possible" that the Egyp- tian government won't let an ad- ditional 140 Canadian soldiers into Egypt to Join the force.

in any event the troops are flying as far as Naples. Italy. the UN force's rear .

Howard Green (PC-Vancouver Quadra) asked during the Com- inoiis question period:

"What stand is the government taking on (Egyptian President) Nasser's further humiliation of

Canada in refusing permission for pl

the landing in Egypt of Canadian ornaments?"

Prime Minister It. Laurent re- plied tsatlly. "there has been no further humiliation of Canada which requires any stand to be taken by the government.”

”These questions cannot be an- swered just by yes or no." Mr. St. Laurent said. "There have been very conflicting r e p o r t a about this matter."

He said instructions to the 56th Reconnaissance Squadron. whose first unit left Tuesday, are to stay at Naples until ordered by the UN to proceed to Egypt.

There have been negotiations about that resulting from the conflicting reports that have been published in the newspapers." Mr. St. Laurent added.

said Mr. Luge, "But what are the facts? In spite of speeches made In this House or over the air. the facts show that we are on the road to separate schools."

Mr. Large observed that history records three separate relation- ships with respect to Church and State.

"The long list of martyrs reveals that the Church has often been dominated by the State even to the point of pet ecutlon." said Mr. Large. "This condition of ai- fairs still exists in parts of the world today such as in Russia and other communist countries."

"The converse is also true." he said. "There have been times when the Church has dominated the state. These 'are those who would maintain that this condition also exists in parts of our world such as south America and Mexico."

"Out of this struggle. a third conception grew hat of the sevlration state. each recognising that t other has an appropriate sphere authority and control."

Richards' mission is to find out. in 18 countries beginning with Lebanon. where and how much military-economic aid can be used in the Middle East.

commends spending money to take us away from here. let the Government spend a little money to keep us here." said Mr. Lee J. Rosslter, Conservative. Se- cond Kings. speaking on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday.

In this connection Mr. Rosslter said he agreed with his colleague from Second Kings. Harvey Dou- glas when he recommended a 31.00 floor price for potatoes. ''I would go further than him. I would re- commend a floor price of 20 cents for beef and 40 cents for eggs. Then perhaps we could show Mr. Gordon what we could do down here." said Mr. Rosslter. , Mr. Rosslter complained that the price of wiring from the road to the buildings in farm areas was exhorbitant. He claimed no electri- cal contractor would charge as much as farmers are being called upon to pay under the rural, elec- trification program and suggested that the Premier take the matter up with the Public Utilities Com-

An amendment to the Govern- ment motion to appoint a select standing committee on education was moved in the Legislature yea- terdny'by Dr. L.G. Dewar. Con- servative. i-Second Prince.

"How will a committee carry out its duties?" said Dr. Dewar. "I can assure them it will not be a matter of a few hours or a few days. It will take weeks and per- haps months before all the inform- atlon necessary can be obtained."

"I realize a Royal Commission will cost money . . so what! You have to pay for anything worth- while and you usually get what you pay for' . said Dr. Dewar.

BEES CRISIS

Dr. Dewar said. "There is ne doubt there is a crisis in educa- tion at the present time. It is a smouldering fire which if proper- ly kindled would provide comfort and " h t for all. but if not tended it will sputter and go out," he said.

He noted from the Women's In- stitute report tht the supply of qualified eschers is rapidly de terloating and that half the Island teachers do not have senior ms-

CHEAPER POWER

"There is no reason why the Government could not storm Ot- tawa to see if we cannot get more cheap power.” said Mr. Rossiter. "They are getting the Trans Can- ada Pipe Line in the West and the St. Lawrence Seaway in the East. there is no reason why we can't get our share here."

He advocated the relaxation of tight credit restrictions which he claimed was strangling farmers. fishermen and small businessmen. "Where are these people going to get money if the banks will not lend it to them." he asked. He al- so urged the Government to in- stitute a long term loan policy to farmers at low rates of interest that would allow the farmer's son to get started.

"It is little consolation to farmers to see a Trsnscanada Highway built while they have to haul their produce over muddy roads that were often impassable. He also criticized the Department for keeping the weight restrictions on too long in the Spring.

Dr. Dewar said there was no improvement possible Without the spending of money.

The West Prince member won- dered uliotlior it would be possible to bring about improvement with- out the spending of too much money.
