OTPAWA (CP)——Th-e Canadian Teachers’ Federation said Wed- nesday there are no “insuperalble barriers” to greatly increased federal aid to the provinces and Canadian municipalities for ele- mentary and secondary educa- (ion.

“Where the welfare of this country is at stake, Parliament: is supreme,” the federation said in a 10-page brief presented to Prime Diefenlbwker and his cabinet.

The brief said much greater federal assistance for education is inevitable. Each year’s delay “in I nrocwun. . federal ‘ A . leaves us farther behind certain countries’ with whom we must wmpete for our very existence as a nation."

The federation said provincial and municipal governments and Canadian citizens individually would welcome greater federal help on the _undierstandimg there would be no‘ interference by Ort- tatwa in provincial control of ed- ucution. ‘

The federation represents some 190,000 ‘teachers, except those in ‘the French Roman Catholic

school: in Quebec.

OFFER PLAN

_ plans to improve the calibre of

teachers and give Canadian youth

I better chance to receive an adequate education.
