Railway Award

A binriing arbitration award has been made in the dispute between the railways and their non-operating employees. It will cost soirc 5?'i',t)tltl,0t)tl which is a good deal

less than the S3-i.lltltt,(l(ltl or .i26tl,()(l0.0tltl which the full union demands were variously estimated to atnount to. liven

that amount, howcver, is recognized by the arbitrator, Chief Justice Gordon Sloan of the Brilisli Columbia Court of Appeal. as living lwyriitd the means of the railways. llis tnoposcrl solution is that there should be a subsidy to compensate for the low ('mws Nest Pass rates which were fixcd about thirty years ago at the level of 1897. This would certainly provide additional rrv- rnuc. v liich the railways have strong grounds to claim. Only Parliament. how- ever. ("ll impose. the burden of rail costs upon the shoulders of the taxpayer.

This is the first time in recent years that thc railways have not been expected to reimburse themselves for higher wage costs by an increase in freight rates. The reason is the simple but incscapable one that freight rate increases have passed the maximum to which they can be in- creased without encountering the law of diminishing returns. Further increases would mean less traffic and less revenue.

It nuiy well be that a subsidy to enable freight rates to be held at present levcls would save the taxpayer money in the long i'un.'

Challenge To Universities

In the next twelve years it is estimated that Canada will require 189,239 more uni- versity graduates than the universities can he expected to supply on the basis of pre- sent trends. This is in spite of the fact that the trend would result in the number of graduates increasing yearly from 14,883 in 1931 to 22,071 in .l963.

Those and other challenging figures were presented recently at a meeting in Halifax of the advisory committee on education in the llaritimc Provinces which was attended by thc Right Rev. Dr. R. V. MacKenzie, Rector of St. Dunstan's llniversity and by, llr. Frank Macliinnon, Principal of Prince- nf Wales College. The committee is in practice. although not officially, a branch nf the National Conference of Canadian linivcrsities, which has been making a study of the problems which are or will be- facing universities.

The figures mean that. universities inusl tutu nut substantially larger numbers of grr'iuates than would be provided by the continuance of present trends. This is quite possible, of course, for if the basis of Am- erican figures were used the numbers wnlild be between three and four times as great as present expectations. There is no inherent impossibility of having as high a pmportion of graduates as that country.

How our colleges and univemities will, pi wide the buildings, equipment and staffs to expand at this greatly increased rate pzvsents a formidable problem. It is large- ly but by no means solely financial. We li:-ve, seen something of the impact of in- creased cnrolment upon high schools. In the years to come our univcrsitics vill bc lvrcrl with similar problems.

Taxes Ami Psychology

Ununirrnting on Finance Minister Har- iis' Montreal speech about the necessity for tax reductions, the Winnipeg Free llrcss finds his words, in the circumstances, to be both "puzzling and unfortunate." They will, of course, make people hopeful of tax rclicfs next spring. But that can hardly have becn the intention. Our Win- nipeg contemporary continues:

”Mr. Harris has not been finance min- ister veiy long. but he is a shrewd and ex- perienced politician; enough so. certainly, to, be very well aware of the best way to han-1 die tax cuts. It is to give no unnecessary; hint beforehand. to talk sternly about the nation's financial problems (if he does not, no other politician will), and then produce any possible reliefs like rabbits out of ii hat, on Budget day.

"This is the well-worn technique of fi-' nance ministers everywhere. but the reasons,

for it have not lost their force. To make the maximum political effect is only part of them. There is also a sound motive in' economic policy. The economist's case, against high taxation, which the finance minister put very well, is that it dlscour-K ages enterprise, investment and hard work. The contrary, stimulating effect of it tax. cut in greater the more it appears to peopiei

id A sharp, dramatic improvement of the

wise finance minister, therefore. bangs the drums hard when he comes to his Budget speech; he avoids preliminary rolls.

”Mr. Harris, it is reasonable to assume, I

knows this. The effect of his speech, in hinting at tax cuts. must therefore be inter- preted as unintentional. indication of whether or not he in fact ex- pects to be able to cut taxes in his first budget ible review of the tax problem was simply,

one must deduce, to give evidence of his

good intentions. The motive deserves sym- pathy. but the effect is dangerous. Federal finances are not in a state where it is wise

to build up any prior public expectation of,

easier times. At this stage, it is best that we should be able to take the good litteri- tions for granted. without Mr. Harris hav- ing to avow them. The time for proof will come in his actual budgets."

Truce In The Cold War?

It is understandable that the ardent de- sire which mankind cherishes for pea-tc should lead people to bclievc that the lull in the cold war marks the beginning of a new era in international rclationssan cra in which tensions will be relaxed and in which an attitude of swcci reasonableness appears to characterize the policies of the Soviet lfnion.

Prudence and commonseiisc suggest, however, that the reasons for thc truce in the cold wai' are deeper and more subtle than appearances might lead one to believe. In the first place. the precarious agreement reached in Paris still has to run the gaunt- let of a number of national legislatures, in- cluding those of the West German Republic and France. It is, therefore, not unnatural that Soviet policy during that critical per- iod should be aimed at allaying public fears, in the hope that politicians of the Westcrni powers would regard European defence as a matter of considerably less urgency than

in fact it is. For with the element of urgency removed, the chances of ratifica- tion ol the Paris agreement become less great.

Such. indeed. must be the strategy which lies behind the attitude of Mr. V'isliinsky.. head of the Soviet delegation to the United Nations. with regard to disarmament. Nolli- ing could be better calculated to allay the fear of aggression than the fact that the. Soviet 1'nion has displayed a willingness to take part in the fivc-nation disarmamcnt' talks under l'N auspices. Nor could any-i thing be better calculated to delay in the! several countries concerned, ratification of the Paris agreement upon which a ordinated and effective western defence programme rcsls.

The truce in the cold war, it is to be feared, is a iphoncy' trucc. devised to serve the unchanged aims of Soviet imperialism.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It is expected to take Department of Mines experts three months to determine whether the 6RtI-sqiiarc-mile depression northwest of Sept Isles is or is not of meteoric origin. If it is then it is by far the largest such crater in the world. some 200 tithes the size of Chiibh crater which was discovered in Lingava some years ago;

Three counlrics, New Zcaland, Sweden and Canada, pay more per capita for the l'nited Nations than does the United States, although that country is by far the largcst' contributor. No country in thc' woi'ld,i however, pays as much as ten cents per, capita, so that if the l'. N. is successful it will be obvious indeed that peace is less expensive than war.

The number making a profit of between S2ltl,()tltl andl Si15.tl()tl, however, has so increased that the total Federal income tax paid by compan- ies was higher than in 1951.

I have had I chance to look over an interesting booklet that was issued a few weeks AKO by the New York State Educational Conference Board in connection with the observance of American Education Week. The title of the booklet take: the form of a. ques- tion, "Whnt do good schools do for children?" It then goes on to suggest the answers.

Perhaps I might be permitted to say here that the controversy between "tradit.iunalists" and ”progressivists" in matters educa- tional does not impress me very much. My own position, so far as I am able to pin-point it. is in the middle. although I am well aware that the Via Media is not. A fashionable. road these days. It seems that. to be considered re- spectable, one must be either for or against any and every pro- position that may be brought for- ward.

It was my good fortune to know Professor John Dewey, who wants to bear the brunt of must. v:f the violent attacks against pragmatic philosophy; on several :occasions I had the social and in- gtcllectual pleasure of chatting with him on different subjects. He impressed'me as being a con- scientious man. passionately ile- voted to the cause of educational improvement as he saw it. He was, withal, a kindly and sym- pathetic man, always willing and EBXEF to recognize the, rights of both sides in any controversy.

I would say that. the some- what widespread belief that Dr. DCWPY was I sort of chronic wrecker of tradition is an injus. tice, to a good man. My personal opinion is that subsequent ile- veloprnenis in education and in 50CiCU' KFHPFHHY have shown some of his theories to have bccn WFDHIZ. or at least impractical. At the same time it is cyidcnt that be contributed a great deal to the field of knowledge; and it may be will many of the obvious weaknesses in present day educa- tional methods and standards are
