Capital Fund Drive Deserves Consideration

There is no immediate danger of Bri-
tish Columbia’s.boom ending in a dull
thud. j

+ Qur: economists assure us our pros-
perity is just beginning.

There is a problem‘ though.

If this boom is to continue to swell
yearly, as: predicted, where will we get
the trained men needed to kep it from
running ahead of us’ and Buriing out of
control? .

University graduates, no one can de-

ny, were in the minority when the spade- -.

work for. this boom, began years ago. But
we. need them now — very much.

It’s like this.

We can flounder. -

Or we can try to bring "the | men

A Simple Expedient:

Prime Minister Pearson. has assured
us that those who betray high standards
of conduct in. public life will have to go.
But. he. has.promised too that innocent
men will not.be sacrificed because: of
political pressures or mere allegations
and rumors of wrong-doing.

We can ask no more. But we can
settle for no less, Just as ancient. mon-
archies were dependent upon a sense of
humor in the aristocracy, and modern
totalitarianisms depend upon a sense of
fear, democratic. government is absolute-
ly dependent.upon honesty in its civil ser-
vants and elected ‘ officials. :

In western democracies we have
boasted that ‘the mark of honesty is upon

we need in from ‘beyond the boundaries of
this proud province.

Or we can grow our own.

In ‘an effort to get on with growing
our own i the: provincial gov-
ernment hag put up $40.7 ‘million of the
$68.7 million needed to carry out neces-
sary expansions to our vires public: uni-
versities.

The 3 Universities Capital Fund has
been launched ‘to make up the: remaining
$28 million.

who helped build the boom, « can: keep the

While ‘a breakdown. in. our.” “national

to be feared, there are distressing signs
of lowered standards. Municipal’ politics
