T_T Massey Report Urges Federal Funds For Universities Recommends No Change Be Made In Radio Licenee By HAROLD MORRISON OTTAWA (CP) - The Massey commission on arts today urged the government to undertake an ambitious cultural program, in- volving fedéral' aid to universities, big e jon schemes in the cap- ital and CBC 'control over radio and television, . If implemented, the recommend- ations would run into millions .of dollars, but the commission made no attempt to estimate the cost. Culture, the commission observ- ed, cannot be obtained "cheaply." If Canadians want a more generous and better cultural fare "we must pay for it." ly the biggest news to the average Canadian is the commis: sion's recommendation that the an- nual $2.50 radio licence fee remain SERRE, Toe CBE rt 8) at the fee should be boosted to meet néw financial REPORT TABLED TODAY The 200,000 - word report, two years in- the making, was tabled today' in the Commons by Prime Minister St. Laurent. It emphasized 'the need for a greater Canadianism to give new vitality and meaning to an "an- .aemic" Canadian cultural life. Canada, it intimated, was lagging far behind other countries. "con- siderable" amounts of money would be needed before she could catch up. : The country's boundaries were threatened by a more powerful, but not more desirable foreign culture- the United States. "The American invasion by film, iadio and periodical is formidable" d the commission. While much 'of it was good, there were those things, especially the '"'crime'" and "horror" type of radio programs, which were 'positively harmful." was consuming Ameri- ean culture while her own artists, writers, dramatists, painters and others went unrecognized. ' To put new nourishment into Canada's cultural soul, the five - member commission outlined about 200 recommendations, touching on ballet and philosophy, totem poles and medical research. It urged that many of them be implemented immediately, even in the face of a third world war. DEFENDING CIVILIZATION "We are defending 'civilization, our share of it, our contribution to it," said the commission, headed | 'by Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, chan- eellor of the University of Toronto. "The things with which our in. | quiry are ments which | give thor haracter and | meaning. It wo paradexical to defend something which we are unwilling to strengthen and enrich-- and which we even allow to de- " In these times of crisis, "nation- al morale is of paramount import- ance." Cultural things in time of war become a "spiritual weapon." They give "meaning to our unity... posters and peptalks are not enough." AID TO UNIVERSITIES Most significant of the recom- mendations was one to grant feder- | al aid to meet the appeal of financ- | fally - stricken Canadian univers- | ities. . i The commission recommended | grants on the basis of provincial! population, to be spread among un-| iversities in each province on a basis of student registration. Under an integrated system of pational scholarships, about 10,000 undergraduates, about one - fifth of the current university student population, would be given assist- ance. Loans would be available for deserving college students, Scholarships 'also would be avail- able for about 160 post-graduates, undertaking work in the natural __sciences, the humanities, social jciences and law. od RNATIONAL LIBRARY In the field of cultural develop- ment in the capital, the commis- sion urged that a national liprary- be built immediately and that the national gallery be divorced from its meagre quarters in the National | Museum and given a building of its own The National Museum should be renamed the "Canadian Museum of Naparal Bistoup and polulel representation of ] geo botany, 200logy _Dbatural ze-| sources. aie FL OAR "The report fecommended more space for the public archives; that quarters be expanded and that it «fom cal material relating to But the commission didn't stop there. It suggested the government might later establish a historica' collecting all import- |. | museum and a Canadian museum of science, as well as national aquarium, botanical and zoological gardens and to give suport to sim- ilar ventures in other Canadian centres. RADIO ISSUES Though the commission was un- animous about these and other recommendations, disagreement cropped up on the controversial is- sue of a future radio, film and tele- vision policy. One member, Arthur Surveyer, Montreal civil engineer, suggested that an independent board be given jurisdiction over radio and televis- ion as requested by Canada's pri- vate radio stations. The main body, however, recom- mended, instead, that permanent control be retained by the CBC un- der an enlarged bpard of gov- ernors. However, private broad- casters would be granted the right 'Ito appeal to the federal courts against miscarriage of justice through CBC decisions. The commission urged, too, that the CBC trim commercial advertis- ing and step out of the field in local cases where a private station was available to carry the commercial, It might consider eliminating some "less desirable' commercials car- ried on a national level. A second French - speaking CBC network should be set up, and a CBC French - speaking station establish- ed for the Maritimes. MORE, MONEY FOR FILMS The commission suggested that the National' Film Board receive more funds, though this was oppos- | ed by Mr. Surveryer, who said that strict economy be observed by this organization. More 'money also should be.made available to 'help the National Gallery buy more pictures and to help the Canadian artist. A dampaign should be under- taken by the historic sites and mon- uments board. To help overcome the "ignor- ance" in foreign countries of Can- ada's cultural growth, more press officers should be posted abroad by the external affairs department the CBC international services ex- panded and the film board given more money to boost distributions of films abroad. Other aid should be available on a lesser scale to help artists, musicians and men of letters. Mon- ey also should be granted to Cana- dian voluntary organizations help- ing .in Canada's cultural expansion. All these schemes might be co- ordinated under a new national organigati --. a Canadian council ete ished hy fthe government, but not staffed by government of- ficials. The organization would be man- ned by 'distinguished and public- spirited citizens' other than federal government officials. The chair- man and vice - chairman would be permanent. The others would be paid daily including travelling ex- penses. Armed by funds voted by parfia- ment, this council would steer Canada's national cultural growth, distributing funds to worthwhile organizations, planning scholarship schemes, organizing and directing a national commission for united nations educational, scientific. and cultura] organization work in Can- ada and in the main watching over { Canada's spiritual welfare.

But Chase, veteran of Pacific warfare, was not speaking with re- ference to Chiang's proposed at- tack on the China mainland.

Columbus OTTAWA (CP) -- Retention of CBC control over radio and tele- vision in Canada was recommend- ed in the report of the Massey commission, tabled today in the commons. Four of the five members of the commission endorsed a recom- mendation that the CBC be left in control of both broadcasting and telecasting, The fifth member -- Dr. Arthur Surveyer of Montreal -- recom- mended establishment of an inde- pendent board with jurisdiction over both privately and publicly- owned broadcasting and telecasting stations. Members of the commission were in "general agreement" on a re- commendation that there be no in- crease in the present $2.50 annual licence fee on radio receiving sets. Dr. Surveyer suggested that the fee might be collected on every receiving set in a house as it once was, instead of on a single set. The report recommended that capital costs of establishing a CBC national television service be pro- vided from public money by par- liamentary grant. It also recom- mended that part of the cost of operating CBC television stations be financed by a lincence fee on receiving sets. CBC officals have sudgested\that the initial fee on T.V. sets might be $10 a year. The fee would col- lected from persons with receivers in areas reached by CBC has avail- able national television programs and that all private stations be required to serve as outlets for national programs. It recommend- Canada be reviewed by an inde- pendent body not later than three years after the start of regular Canadian telecasting. Dr. Surveyer said that the in- dependent radio and television con- trol broard recommended "by him could collaborate imfimediately with the CBC in drawing up a 'sound television program suitable to Ca- nadian conditions." The CBC is constructing a T.V. station in Toronto, which it hopes to have in operation late this year. It is constructing another station in Montreal, due to start telecasts in 1952. The steel shortage may delay for years the establishment of additional T. V. outlets. The report recommended a new method for financing CBC deficits; an enlargement of the nine-mem- ber CBC board of governors to make it more widely representa- tive; changes in dealings" of the board with radio broadcasters; con: tinuation of the ban on private radio station networks; licences for private stations be granted for Radio Report Brings Division of Opinion ed that television broadcasting in| Within Arts Commission five years instead of three, and establishment of a second CBC French network, Radio The CBC was urged to refuse local commercial advertising except in places where advertising services fron: private stations are not availe able. It also was urged to elimine ate "less desirable" commercial. PRIVATE STATIONS . The report said the CBC, estab-, lished in 1936, has "developed into the greatest single agency for na- tional unity, understanding and en- lightenment." But there is room for improvement of private stations the report a tone point, said: "There is, no doubt, a great vari- ation in the performance of the many private ' stations; the pro- grams of some are satisfactory, and of a very few, praiseworthy. On the other hand, far too many stations, regulated in principle by the CBC, offer programs which must be described as regrettable... "There is no apparent attempt to fulfil the proper function of the local station as we understand it: to reflect the life and interests of the community, and to use and de- velop the local talent available. . . "Of the friendly services of the private stations to the public we have abundant evidence, and these services help to justify the contin- ued existence of such stations in our national system; but from the study we have made we cannot he- lieve that there is any justification for their undistinguished pro- grams." The Canadian Association of Broadcasters, representing most of the privately - owned stations in Canada, had urged on the commis- sion the establishment of an inde pendent body to control and regul- ate both privately and publicly - owned radio and television stations, NO UNJUST TREATMENT The principal complaint was that |the CBC now 'is at one and the | same time competitor, regulator, | prosecutor, jury and judge."
