The mandatory controls replace |. a voluntary program which has been in-operation since mid-1957. The new controls are effective today in the:case of crude oil and- unfinished oils and on April 1 in the case of gasoline and other finished products. President Eisenhower ordered the new controls under legislation which permits such action to safeguatd the national security. « 2 In a statement, Eisenhower commended the great majority of . industry companies for coo-pera- tion in the voluntary_ program. He added “‘it is indeed a cause for regret that the action? of some (companies) in refusing to comply with the request of the government require me to make our present voluntary system mandatory.” In Ottawa, Trade Minister Churchill said he would -withhold comment until he has seen de- tails of the new restrictions.. “I want \to see what the changes mean in relation to the old quotas,” he said.

This was revealed in a bill intro- duced in the Legislature yes- terday by Hon. ~. Keir Clark, Minister of Education. The bill, designed to effect certain amendments to the School Act, shows that the sal- ary hikes are on a graduated scale with emphasis on _ the qualifications of the teacher. A third class teacher receives a $100 increase; 2nd and super- for first class $200 increase. Teachers of the superior two, three and four class will re- ceive $300, $400 and $500 in- creases respectively. DEGREES RECOGNIZED - Teachers in grades XI or XII who hold.a bachelor’s de- gree in arts or science to- gether with a degree in educa- tion would receive an additional $200 per year and a master’s degree, $300 additional from the province annually. Dr. Bonnell vongratulated the Minister for bringing in legis- lation that ‘would improve the status of the teacher. He was pleased that the emphasis was placed on the qualifications of the teacher. ~ Fred Ranisay expressed pleas- ure with the increases but re- Teachers To Receive Salary Hike gretted that no extra money was provided .for the married man with a family. .“There are many good men in the profes- sion,” he said, “and we should do everything we can to keep them in it.” Mr. Clark said this issue was a most contentious one among the teachers themselves. He ob- served that any district that was anxious to hold on to a valuable teacher could increase his supplement if they so de- +sired. Dr. Dewar said the matter of paying higher salaries to mar- ried teacflers was one of the re- commendations of the conference on education but noted that the teachers themselves defeated it. The O'Leary member expres- ‘sed the hope that these raises re- presented actual increases in the teachers’ salary cheques. He said there had been some mis- representation in regard to the actual increases given on férmer occasions. TEACHER SPEAKS Hon. Prosper Arsenault, a tea- cher himself, congratulated the Minister who, he claimed, sad done more for education in the past four years thah had been done in the previous fifteen.

(Continued on page 13 Col. 6) Farm Leaders From Prairie Get Cool Govt Reception By ALAN DONNELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer _ OTTAWA (CP) — Prairie farm leaders received a cool govern- ment reception Tuesday to their bid for $390,000,000. in federal- de- ficiency payments: on western grain. But they plan to keep pushimz their case. Prime Minister Diefenbaker ap- peared before a _ 1,000-member Prairie farm delegation, heard their hour-long argument read to him and promised only ‘‘the full- est and most continuing tonsider- ation.” “The prime minister said the delegation had not answered his previous objections to deficiency payments. And he spent most of his hour-long reply in outlining what his government had done and plans to do to help agricul- ture in other ways. HASN’T GIVEN UP Afterwards Jack Wesson) 77- year-old delegation leader, said in an interview he hasn’t given up the fight for deficiency pey- ments. The president of the Sas- - ‘eatchewan Wheat Pool said that after the governmem has studied he Prairie petition “we shell ap- ch them again.” “I don't see bow,. eventually, this government is going to re- fuse to provide the deficiency payments to save the Prairie grain economy.” The government's long - range plans were all to the good, Mr. Wesson added, but before they materialized “‘we may all go broke.” Mr. Wesson read the delega- tion’s brief to Mr. Diefenbaker and 18 cabinet ministers in the ballroom of fhe Chateau Laurier Hotel, packed by delegates and some 100 MPs, mostly Progres- sive Conservatives. 302,200 PETITIONS Beside him was a table stacked high with petitions signed by 302,200, Prairie resiients asking for deficiency payments—a form of subsidy to- bring wheat, oats and barley prices of the last three years up to the average of the eight preceding years. They put a ceiling on their re- quest—no single farmer should receive more than a total. $4,500 for the three-year period. Mr. Diefenbaker, replying, said several times that the govern ment hasn't closed the door. But he said there has been no | thifig. answer to his previous criticisms \ mainly benefit the larger farm- ers, hinder farm adjustment to changing technology and result in a disparity of payments among western areas. U.S. RESTRICTIONS? Besides, it was “more than likely’’ that if subsidies were paid on oats and barley, the United States would throw up im- port restrictions against Cana- dian oats and barley, which de- pended on the US. for a large share of their export market. Outlining the government’s future plans for aizriculture, he spoke of more plentiful farm credit, a crep insurance scheme, aid for wheat ex porters, pre- servation of the’ low Crowsnest frieght rates on export grain, a far - reaching conservation pro- gram, and other measures to —s the farm as a family t Mr. Diefenbaker, a Prairie lawyer who wes raised on a Saskatchewan homestead, said he is sympathetic to prairie farm problems. | ; But at another point, he said: opportunity and the climate— that the Newfoundland govern- ment is considering formation of a vigilante police force.

The_ first in the series, an aD- preciation of Hegel’s ‘Aesthetic View of History” was delivered ep Monday night. The series will be conducted tomorrow night with a presentation of the Exist- entialist philosophy of ae and an _ evaluation of all philosophics in the light of Chris- tian understanding. Continuing his appraisal of the Hegelian and Marxist attempt to exhibit the history mankind as which is strictly ration- ‘ ~ de. Koninck referred to the fact that in Hegel can. be found the rationale for the Marx- ist interpretation of history. Ac- cording to Hegel both © natural history and human history are dominated by contrariety, out of which flows progress, a progress ever which man can exercise lit- tle effective control. Man can become reconciled to the onrush of events only by recognizing that things are as they must be, and therefore cannot be other than thev are. MARXIST VIEW Marx, on the other hand, per- ceived history as a more man- ageable reality, subject in its pre- sent state of development to scientific control. Man,. he held, must free himself from the con- trarieties which enslave him, not be withdrawing from them as a passive observer of the on- ward march of history, but by a personal involvement in history itself in which he “fans the ee been crush- Deficit Exceeds Last Year's Prov.
