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."

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.

I957- ' cl! eluded representation from the Education Moiion Sparks Controversial Discussion Second King's Member Asks For More Farm Subsidies Opposition Has Amendment; Large Is Critical Oi Dept. Strong controversy and.severe criticism of educational policies in the Province featured the disem- sion on a motion of Premier Mathe- son to appoint a select stand- ing committee on education. The Premier introduced the mo- tlon shortly after the House met yesterday at 3.00 p.m. It proposes that the committee so appointed will hear representation from per- sons interested ing presenting their ideas and opinions for educational changes and will be asked to re- port with all convenient speed its findings and I endations. The debate on the motion was adjourned by Hon. Eugene Cullen who will continue the discussion today when the House meets to- day at 3.00 pm. Mr. F'.A. Large Q.C.. former Attorney General and Minister of Education in the Jones Govern- ment. said the Province was on the road to separate schools. He strongly opposed the Government action in permitting St. Dun- stan's University to train teachers for the public schools of the Pro- vince stating it was in direct con- travention of the Public School PI;-JIMIER MATIIESON to teacher's salaries while other! thought they could not. He said some of the delegation thought the system of training teachers was all wrong and the method of granting a license to Act. Dr. L.G. Dewar moved an d t to the motion asking that the Government instead of appointing a select standing com- mlttee. appoint a royal commis- sion. He said he did not think members of the House had the time or the knowledge to deal with the subject of education. CLARIFIES POSTIION Mr. Matheson made reference to a delegatio lch waited on the Government a ut a month ago asking for a Royal Commission on education. The Premier said be from first year P.W.C. up shoul be reverted to in order to get enough i ” .. Others dis- agreed with this. Some believed that the teacher had dropped down on the social ladder while others strongly opposed this idea. "You can see that with such I committee having such divergent ideas what could be accomplished" he added. LEGISLATIVE DUTY Answering the criticism of the Opposition leader who stated that srselect standing” I not work. the Premier said. "They may not work but I want to re- mind all the members of this House that each one of you have been nominated by your respective communities and elected to this House and as such. it is your duty to sit on such a cpmmlttee and to listen -to these problems concerning education." WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY "Here is a wonderful opportun- ity for you to do something worthwhile and I am sure that. if you take your duties seriously many of the solutions to the prob- lems facing us can be solved." said the Premier. In suggesting some of the mat- icrs that might come before the committee. Mr. Mathcson said. "Some say salaries are too low and with that we are in general agreement but how do they com- pare with yesterday and how do they compare with other phuu of industry? This will be one of the questions you will be asked to decide." , In this connection, the Premier noted the salaries for city teachers went as high as 91.400 with In average of 82.425. He also noted that with the beginning of next September married teachers In the City would be setting a S200 in-. crease while unmarried teachers would get S100 incrcusr-.

"I did tell the delegation that we would very likely not appoint a Royal Com- mission at this time." he said. Explaining his reasons for" this answer. the Premier recalled the number of Royal Commissions that have been held across Canada dur- lng the past four or five years. Among these he mentioned the one economic prospects. radio and broadcasting. coastal trade and Great Lakes shipping. criminal law as It relates to insanity and others. "It seems to be a fad to appoint Royal Commissions." he said. some of these have been going on for years and their findings are still not known". "This. however. does not answer the question of whether a Royal Commission is necessary." said the Premier.
