0) THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, Jonuery 17, 1956 Aid-To- Education Question Could Start A Big Conflict By STEWART MacLEOD OTTAWA (CP) -- It appears Ge question of more federal aid for education is going to get a workout in the new Parliament. And it's a subject that could easily erupt into a major fed- eral-provincial quarrel. This: is one responsibility for which the provinces have full constitutional responsibility and it has been jealously protected, especially by Quebec. On the other hand, there are dncreasing demands for more federal assis- tance, and the _ last election campaign ¢learly emphasized them. The Conservative, New Demo- crat and Social Credit parties all pledged more federal aid to education. And a groyp of Lib- eral backbenchers are deter- mined to institute some action in the Commons. One of these, Richard J. aghin (L--St. John's West), al- dy has submitted to Com- mons clerks a resolution on edu- cation. It likely will arise dur- ing the 26 hours devoted to de- bate on private members' reso- lutions. Mr. Cashin's. resolution says "in the opinion of this House the federal government should con- sult with the provinces with a view to calling a federal-provin- cial conference to devise a for- mula for federal aid to second- ary and elementary education." USUALLY 'CALLED OUT' While private members' reso- lutions traditionally enjoy little success --- they are usually "talked out" by government-ap pointed speakers in the hour de- voted to the debate -- several Liberals have expressed hope that this one will be approved. The governmént, they say, might welcome it. Prime Minister Pearson has already promised more federal money will plowed into edu- cation. He fas promised higher grants to universities, along with $40,000,000 worth of scholar- ships over the next fou years. Some. Liberals feel a federal- provincial conference will be held in any case. And they don't expect any dif- ficulties from the Conservatives, New Democrats or Social Credit groups, although they say the Creditistes may object. During the campaign, the Conservatives .pledged more aid to. education through increased university grants and special tax deduc- tions for gifts to universities, and dental education. free university education with Salary Increases For 180 last election| and more money for medical The New Democrats pledged| increased federal money for uni- versity capital costs and tech- |nical and vocationa! training. | PROMISES AID The Social Credit party proim- ised more federal aid for edu- cation with teeformation of a federal-provincial affairs d part- ment, including an educdtidnal bureau. Mr. Cashin says pithout more federal aid the central provinces will continue to widen the edu- cational gap with the smaller provinces. He says federai as- sistance should be on the basis of need with more money for the poorer provinces. "The 50-50 grants are inequit- | able," he says. 'What we really need in Newfoundland instead of designated areas is more aid to education. This is the only way to get people da i come trap." When he said this in a St. John's television interview, Mr. Cashin said 'the reaction was the most favorable I've ever re- ceived."" of the low-in- Nigeria's Bee Since It W a 4 e SHICE ii ¥Fas - LAGOS (Reuters) -- Regional, differences have marked Nige- ria's history since the formér \British territéry became inde- pendent in 1960.
