We Have Their Sympathy + The most challenging feature of the Bladen Commission report on financing higher education, made pub- lic yesterday. is the position in which it leaves these Atlantic Provinces. For. all Canada, it says, “the magni- tude of the expenditures required Wave been scarcely yet been under stood.” but for this area even this strong language is scarcely adequate. The commission finds that “the level of capital expenditure in the Atlantic Provinces may have to be tripled and even quadrupled to enable them to reach a normal Canadian standard of university facilities.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t say how we're going to do it under the proposed increase of fed-

eral grants.

oe

grants among the provinces.

: In its brief before the commission the Association of Atlantic Universi- ties had requested special considera- tion until personal income in these provinces reached the national aver- age. Also it was stressed that we have here an exceptionally high university enrolment of. non-resident students. It was considered inconsistent that a rich province, such as Ontario, should ~ receive a per capita grant that gave $282 per student in 1964-65, where- as- Maritime universities, .with the same grant and in much greater need, received much smaller amounts.

; The report expresses the commis- sion's sympathy for us in these mat-

rs, but rejects outright the idea of pplementary grants on any such basis. That, it says, would be to con- fase aid to universities and equaliza- tion of provincial fiscal resources,

“which seems to us unwise, partic ularly at a time when the general problem seems likely to receive full

—~

attention.”

! So, if we are to.get redress in this

_ respect, it will have to be‘on our own,

‘ under the old system of dickering with Ottawa over equalization grants. The commission—none of whose members or advisory staff is from the Atlantic Provinces—has washed its hands of this problem. But their

| report, of course, is still only a series of recommendations. It remains to be seen what the government proposes |

_ t6 do with it.

Back In The Fold

' Pundit Peter Newman, who sad- dled the epithet “renegade” on Mr. Diefenbaker when he fell out with the Bay Street Tory hierarchy, now says

nae re is ‘a resurgence of optimism”

1 ae to over the party’s long term

‘ future which he credits neither to Mr. Diefenbaker nor to any of his associ- ates. No, indeed. “It was Lester Pear- sén’s election call,” he says, “which precipitated a turnabout in the Tory attitude.” Now the big shots who de- fected in the last election campaign are standing shoulder to shoulder, backing Dief as a man—if not after their own hearts at least infinitely to be preferred to what the Liberals

have to offer,

_ During the Diefgnbaker Years, says Newman. the Toronto area be-

came “the centre of disillusionment”

with the man from Prince Albert. In es = 1963 election he lost every Tor- to

Its chief proposal, in this regard, -is that the present per capita grants be raised to $5 for the years 1965- 66, and be increased by $1 each year thereafter until such time as discus- sions with the provinces lead to an appropriate revision of the amount. This, of course. will be a big help. It ig intended to provide about 30 per cent of operating expenditures ex- clusive of research. But being on a per capita basis, it takes no stock of our special needs and the same goes for the provisions for dividing capital

Be

garded as “the leader of Toronto's Tory Establishment,” who for over 40 years has organized, raised funds, arranged party deals and formulated party policy. He disavowed his faith ' in Diefenbaker Conservatism during the 1963 campaign, but is now back , inthe fold, vigorously intent on rais- | ing funds to finance its resurgance. . “We must unite behind our lead- | er,” Mr. Sedgwick is quoted as say- | ing. “Otherwise our party will go the | way of the Liberal party in England.” | And he too maintains that “by calling | this unnecessary election at a time | when he thought the Conservatives were hopelessly divided, Mr. Pearson any other man could have achieved for our party.” After all. Mr. Sedgwick went on to

$20.00 per . tell his friend Mr. Newman, “what-

British Com

e is a great Canadian and that in his

personal and political life he is com-

pletely honest. He would never have

permitted the scandals that occurred

| under the Liberal government, or re- tained in office any person whose

_ conduct or judgement were question- ed.”

Now if only the ‘Establishment gentry had had a little more fore- sight before they stuck their knives | in Dief in the last. campaign, and | valued his qualities then as they do | today, wouldn’t they be better off? Certainly they must feel themselves | to be in the penitents’ row, when they | keep deploring what happened be- | cause thef didn’t have the loyalty to | stick to their:Jeader when he was in

power. — Ty .

" Mr. Sedgwick is further quoted as

| saying that he thinks “Mr. Diefen-

baker has learned something in de

feat and will probably be a more co-_ operative leader than he was in 1963.”

That may well be. But it seems that‘ the Tory hierarchy has learned some-

thing too.

Third Time Out

It’s the third time out for Mr. Pearson’s election promise to pay $10 million in federal scholarships to de- serving university students. The same pledge did service in the 1962 elec- tion campaign. and again in the 1963 campaign. Why make new promises when the old ones are practically as good as new?

_If some people will ask why this one is in such apple-pie order—why, in short, it hasn’t been put to use, Mr. Pearson may point out that he only got in in 1963 and didn’t have a ma- » jority government. So he’s been sav- ing this plum so the electors can give him a majority and then “we'll know where we stand,” as he likes to put it.

His opponents may argue that they didn’t prevent him. from. putting . his scholarship pledge into effect; that they didn’t see hide nor hair of it, in fact, in any legislative proposals that Mr. Pearson presented to Parlia- ment since he took office. They even maintain that they had urged him to produce it so they could vote on it and put it through.

To aid his memory they used to read the pledge out to him: “10,000 scholarships a year, each valued at $1,000 a year and available for four years of study.” the awards to be “open to all and made on merit,” and the administration of the plan to be “independent of government.” Not a | word garbled, just as it appeared in the Liberal election platforms of 1962 and 1963!

But Mr. Pearson didn’t bite. He had his dark suspicions that the Op- position was up to something and that the pledge would be safer in cold | storage until such time as he_had a

| majority, or at least until the électors

how well it had been preserved. There are people, as we said, who will think this a rather.rum procedure. But of course you can’t please everybody!
