They are fortunate too, in the fact that Mr. Massey has not al- ~ lowed his role os the representative of the Crown to prevent him from speaking his mind when he thinks scholarships and aca- demic freedom are in peril. Worth pondering, therefore, are the Governor General's words at the opening of the Quinquennial Congress of the Associa- tion of the Universities of the British Com- monwealth at Montreal. Speaking of the increasing dependence of universities in Can- ada and elsewhere in the’ Commonwealth upon Government financial aid, Mr. Massey said: “It would be foolish and wrong to ig- nore the fact that all our universities today tread a very dangerous path. Increasingly, they are accepting Government money be- cause they are doing things that Government wants done.“ ~The Light Fantastic The Eternal Lights set aglow as war memorials a generation ago had only a brief immortality before they began to flicker out. New York‘s perpetual electric star has failed several times, and in Paris, the lamp at the tomb of the Unknown Soldiex is extinguished nightly to save fuel. Meanwhile, the oldest light known to man continues to burn untended in the ruin- ed temple of a pagan god. it started, accord- ing to mythology, when a king‘s son named -Bellerophon rode the winged horse Pegasus to COMPETITION IN TRANS-CANADA AIR SERVICE As one who has never yettareas in Canada, Then the Governor General poses this crucial question when he asks, “How great a peril is this in a democracy?” a His Excellency the Gi I, when chairman of the Massey Commission, made it cleor that in his belief the cause of education would be served if federal assis- tance were given to the universities. On this point he has not changed his mind. It is, however, not without significance that his warning that the universities, in accepting such assistance, are treading “a very dang- erous path,” should come just at the time that a substantially farger share of univer- sity revenues will come from the Federal Treasury, : Mr. Massey, to be sure, does not sug- gest that government calls the tune with re- spect to what is being taught in Canadian universities today. Nevertheless,’ his warning words make it clear that fear of some such untoward development is very much in the forefront of his mind. vanquish the Chimera, a fantastic nionster that breathed fire. Bellerophon slew the beast but it's firey breath rose out of the ground where it fell on the mountainous southern coast which is now Turkey. Around this fire, ancient Greeks built a great temple to the blacksmith: god Vulcan. Visible today to sea travelers along the coast the Chimera - a 2 foot-high flame of natural gas from a rock crevice - has been burning uninterruptedly for at least 2,500 years without diminishing. . —Time Magazine been up in the air, except met- aphorically, I have no personal iterest in the promotion of air trasportation, But as a news: paperman I have received an in- terestiiig document on that sub ject. It Is a copy of the submis sion by G, W. G. McConachie, President of the Canadian Pacif. ie Airlines, to the Air Transport Board at Ottawa in support of an application by the CPA for a net- work of coast-to-coast routes in Canada. I have tried to condense this lengthly document into a brief space. It is an historic fact that the coast-to-coast development of the Dominion ef Canada began with the building of the transcontin. ental railway, That tremendous undertaking ‘was initiated and carried out as a private enter. Brize by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. With the dawn of aviation this same com- pany foresaw the future of air The CPA found itself with extensive services scattered from Labrador to the Pacific Ocean and Alaska. The company tried to develop its five separate arcas inlo autonomous units, but it fin- ally withdrew from some of these local operations and they were taken over by the government- owned Trans-Canada Air Lines. Thus economic factors, combined with restrictive government pol- icy, forced the CPA out of the domestic market into pioneering such international routes as the TCA did not wish to operate. Des- nita these government restric- tions, the CPA has established re- gular air services to the Orient, Australia, South America and {Europe. But the company com- Piains that ‘the “overriding rights ofthe TCA have presented a form- idable obstacle to the full de- ; clopment of Canadian air services at home and abroad.” Canadian Pacific Airlines is fident competition would not only benefit the Canadian travelling public, but the Trans-Canada Air Lines management and Personnel as well. . ‘To properly appraise the situation in Canada,” says Mr. McConachie, “one must realize that the TCA’s Monopoly within Canada is the largest noncompet- itive pool of aviation business in the Free World.” Competition, he says, would have developed the alr transport market more quick- ly and would have provided bet- ter service to the public. He de- clares that the CPA is the only Canadian company that can bro- vide that competition on an econ- omic basis. He points out that CPA has routes in South America South Pacific, Mexico and Hawali that are busier in the winter than the summer, and would therefore have equipment available to take care of summer peak loads in Canada.
