Authorities had been troubled 0Vel' Russian propaganda a few Yefirs 880- "Why is there no anxiety about the present flood of propa- aanda from Germany, especially as that country is threatening, as Rue- sia never threatened, the peace of the whole world?" he asked, The Issue It was not merely a question of peace or war or a political question. “It is a question whether ‘ruffians or fanatics . . . who have forsworn honor and law, truth and religion, and denied every moral category, shall be allowed with impunity and amid cheers of the baser elements in every other society, including our QWI1. to destroy civilization." Universities could do "many things" to offset the German men- ace, Dr. Stanley pointed. “In the first place they can keep their own souls sweet, and their own consci- ence unsuliied." Hitler had first attacked universities. Today more than a sixth of all the professors in Germany had lost, their places, some of them had been murdered. “Scores of them have been foully tortured as few Europeans have been tortured since the dark ages, hundreds of them are in exile." "Are our universities aware of these things, or are they taking their opinions from our newspapers, which have shown little or no in- i’«€i'ESt in What is going on?" the Cxtgéege President queried his audi- B .

It had refused “iike Oxford mid Cambridge" to participate in the celebrations of the University of H9id93b8l‘8- "It has refused to have mvtiiins to do with the sending of athletes to games in Germany." “VET? 800d reason there is for Dalhousie University taking this stand, irrespective of what is done by other Canadian universities" Dr. Stanley remarked. “For Dnlhousie has the honorable distinction of be- ing the first university in Canada to have absolute freedom and tcler. ance written into its charter." The President took pride in the work of the university during the past year. It had made steady pro- lzress although “it is not work that makes journalistic news." Advanced Course: "But one thing that we have done in the last four years, to benefit ourselves and to benefit the second- ary schools of these provinces, has received wide nttention, and has been imitated point by point and almost precisc'y by the University of Harvard, which has given exactly the same reasons for instituting the reform as we gave four years ago. I refer to the establishment of ad- vanced courses, in various depart- merits." President Stanley urged the grad. uates to continue the battle for free- dom and truth, warning them “it is not enough for us to point the finger at Hitler or Mussolini." The issue depended largely on them as university men and women for there was “ll real danger that the battle may be lost in all countries and that the torch of civilization may go out." 175 GRADUATES one hundred and seventy five graduates were capped by Presid- mt 3i«8ii19Y as a distinguished gathering including Lieutenant Governor W.

The Pontiff, inaugurating the World Exposition of the Catholic Press. attacked Communism. He mentioned its development in soviet Russia, Mexico, Spain, Uruguay and Brazil. Speaking to thousands of visitors from a special throne in the Pine Court or the Exposition, he expres- sed hope the end of the Italo-Eth- iopiim war would be “a prelude to true European and world peace." He remarked that the opening coincides with the “triumphant news of a. great and good people." In charging that the State is en- croachina upon the Church. the Pontlff declared, “the Catholic Church does not intend at all to "SUP fliiyirhilig of what appertalns to politics, properly so-called in ac- cordance with their end." He asserted politics are creating every sort of difficulty, however, for the Roman Catholic Church, ob- structing it in those “vast fields which have a greater need for the Church and could most profit by her — the youth, the family, the schools, the press, and the popular ‘ masses." Discussing the absence of Russia “id Germany from the Exposition, the Pontiff said Russia was "full of hatred against God."

Makes Plea For Greater Ilse of lava Scotia coal (C. P. By Guardian’: Speolnl Wire) UITAWA. May l2—A plea. for Nova Scotia coal miners was mild? today in the House of Commons by Dr. R. J. Hartigan (Lib. Cape Breton South) who urged the gov- ernment to take steps to restrict use of imported coal and stimulate use of Canadian fuel. Dr. 1-fartigan said 13,000 tons of coal were imported every year and yet the few thousand coal miners were driven to the verge of star- vation by unemployment, obtaining as little as one day's work a week. It was "all bunk." he said, to say Nova Scotla coal was not the equal of that imported from the United States or elsewhere. Whenever a. request was made for greater use of Nova scotia fuel the answer was that it was not economically feas- ible, he dcclirreci, but neither was it economically fetlsibie to leave 30000 coal miners on relief without work and to continue importing coal. New Brunswick Also Anticipating A National Park ST.

Owing to New Brunswick linvnir: set aside selection of a. national park site for the time being, a special dcspatch from Ottawa stated last night, there will likely be a special grant when this is done. A. S. Barnstead. deputy provin- cial secretary, discussing the Novzt Sootia participation in the DOnllll- ion scheme. was said in a Canad- ian Press item from Halifax yes- terday tu have explained that New Brunswick had failed to make ap- plication for federal aid because of non-selection of its site. With Prince Edward Island in line to re- ceive 540,000, Mr. Bamstead believed Nova scotia would be permitted to utilize the remaining $100,300. Hon. W. F‘. Roberts. minister of health and labor. said this province would no doubt be in line for an appropriation at Ottawa when the time came to take a definite step in this direction. Dr. Roberts added that the ques- tion had been discussed freely and negotiations had been carried on between the two governments. He said New Brunswick intends to car- ry out the national park program but that there are more important matters to receive immediate at- tention nt present. Several sections of the province have made representations to the provincial government on behalf of the park site in their partlcul r counties. While not announced o - flciaiiy, it is said the park in Nova Scotic. will be located in Cape Bre- ton. 'Lauds Work Of Canadian lied cross (0. P.

P. By Guardian’: Special Wire) OVITAWA, May l2.—Violati0n of a partisanship agreement with the land~wire companies and exercise of regulatory powers over the activi- ties of its competitors were charged against the Canadian Radio Com- mission today before the Commons Committee on Broadcasting. Representatives of the Trans- Canads Telephone System and of the publicly-owned Prairie Province section of that system. told the committee the commission had neg- otiated long-term agreements with the Canadian National and Canad- ian Paclfic Railway Telegraph Com- paniu, without reference to the tel- ephone ‘companies which, before creation of the Radio Commission, had enjoyed 60 per cent of network wire business. Hon. W. J. Major, Attorney Gen- eral and Minister of Telephones for Manitoba, speaking for the tele- phone compnnies of the three Prai- rie Provinces declared the Commis- sion had ignored bids from them for land-wire business at rates lower than those he understood were be- ing paid the telegraph companies. Hon. J. L. Ralstoli, Montreal, speaking for the entire ’I‘rans-Cali- udu. System, including all the lead- ing telephone companies ill the Do- minion, sa.'ld no opportuliity was given the telephone sysienr to com- pete for 0. share of the network line business, for sustaining programs. Col. Ralston also declared that the Commission had violated a partllership pooling agreement en- tered into with the three commun- ication compaliics. The two tele- graph compnnics and Tl'alls-Can- ada, by which line charges for com- mercial progrurns would be split on in basis of 40 per cent to the Tale- phone Company and 60 per cent to the telegraph companies. The line companies would pool all their existing hl‘Ga(lC8Stllig con- tracts, and any new business they could bring in and the Commission would act as co-ordinatlng agent, collect and distribute the revenues. The Commission, Col. Ralston maintained, by its action in respect to these two contracts, had failed to recognize the “legitimate claims of Trans-Canada," had ignored Trans- Canada in negotlntign the 1935 con- tract. and had disclosed "apparent lack of knowledge on the part of senior members of the Commission as to these most important commit- ments, involving as they did about one-quarter the Commission's rev- enue over periods of year ."
