Mr. Robarts said M y at & press conference that the fed- gpeaie' ta Geipunvinote tor tock gran ces for tech- nical and vocational education He said that figures on which this estimate is based "are not © necessarily accurate" and that there will be further discussions on what the federal proposals will mean te Ontario. "We've got points but we haven't got dollars under the federal plan," Mr. Robarts said. "But we're pleased the money will be paid directly to the prov- inces,"' Under the new Ottawa plan, Ontario would receive more than $100,000,000 in grants for Post-secondary education. But as Mr. Robarts sees it, the fed- eral government eliminates ben- efits accruing to his province by doing away with the tech- nical and vocational grants. The province, he said, would lose because the present value of the grants could be sub- tracted from the over-all fed- eral contributions under a new scheme. mittee met Monday night to try to provide the provinces with answers, Finance Minister Sharp met provincial education ministers during the avening. mainiv about the federal definition of post-secondary education that would ,ualify and about what should be included in operating costs, The federal offer' is to}, pay about half the operating costs of post-secondary 'educa- tion. Federal and provincial offi- cials met separately during the evening to try to pinpoint why the federal estimate of the in- creased aid differs so greatly from what the provinces think they will get. MADE SOME PROGRESS' After the meetings Mr, Sharp said progress had been made. These issues will be discussed further when the conference re- sumes at 10 a.m, EDT today. A main criticism of the edu- cation aid formula by Mr, John- son is that it would involve the federal government looking at provincial education expendi- ture needs. He has argued that an alter- native federal formula--$14 per capita without any federal peek- ing--would bring the province less money. But Mr. Sharp told reporters federal calculations estimate the per capita formula would amount to about the same|. | as the 50-per-cent offer, The prime minister's state- ment contained two main pro- posals. His first would turn over to the provinces an addi- tional four per cent of personal income tax and an. additional one per cent of corporation. in- come tax so that under a new aid-to-education formula Ottawa will pay about half the pT, ONTARIO PREMIER Robarts tells a press con- ference Monday at the fed- eral - provincial meeting } Ottawa that the fedofal scheme to transfer certain tax monies for post-sec- ondary education to the provinces would make On- tario the "'net loser'. --CP Wirephoto Education Minister William Davis, also Ontario's university affairs minister, was at the news conference and said that "as we understand it, Ontario has now reached the ceiling" and the grants would no longer be paid after next March 31. "Phasing-out will not help On- tario," Mr. Davis said. 'BADGE OF HONOR' RENN RENEE ATT NN A | Lawyer Makes Appeal TU 2 re. * 2 | For 11ico Demonsiraiors TORONTO (CP) -- Convic-! tions in cases involving court) injunctions in labor disputes | may become a badge of honor rather than a deterrent among) unionists, a Toronto lawyer warned Monday. E. B. Jolliffe, counsel for 23 unionists sentenced to jail for contempt of court following a picket-line incident at Tilco Plastics Lid, at Peterborough Feb. 23-24, was appearing be- fore the Ontario Court of Ap- peal. | "Deterrence cannot be meas-/ ured by the direct. severity of the sentence when you are deal- ing with decent citizens of good repute," Mr. Jolliffe said. Mr. Justice W. F. Schroeder asked: "Don't you think others will be deterred by knowing of the jail sentences?" } Mr. Jolliffe replied that there | are situations, as there were in Ireland during rebellion against British rule, 'when/being in jail could be a badge of distinction. He argued the Ontario Su- preme Court erred in finding the men had violated an injunc- tion. He said the court should have accepted the defence view that the men were taking part in a demonstration against laws which permit the use of injunc- tions in labor disputes. Chief Justice G. A. Gale of } victed 26 demonstrators for vio- lating an injunction that limited Tilco pickets to 12. He sen- jtenced five of the men to two months and the remainder to 15 days. Two of the men are being represented by Ian Scott. The appeal hearing against the convictions and sentences continues today. money to the provinces, espe- cially when the amount involved in the curtailment of operating costs and the phasing-out over six years of capital cost for technical and vocational train- ing schools is included in the igure. After 'the evening meeting, Mr. Sharp said there is still room for some 'further clarifi- cation" of these programs and their effect on the distribution of federal funds. Two Nations Translation Welcomed OTTAWA (CP)--A reference to Canada's "'two nations" in the French translation of a statement by Prime Minister Pearson was seen Monday as a welcome sign by Quebec Pre- mier Johnson.

The formula for peace was contained in the final communi- que of the seven-nation summit conference here attended by President Johnson and the lead- ers of South Viet Nam, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Thailand. It was backed up by a re- affirmation of allied determina- tion to maintain the present military effort "as firmly and as long as may be necessary, in close consultation among our- selves until the aggression is ended." : (Agence. France-Presse said the communique held out no prospect for an early negoti- ated settlement. It noted that the Manila summit's only pro- posal to Hanoi and to the Viet Cong was the conditional offer of the withdrawal of allied troops.)

The communique and two declarations--on the Goals of Freedom and on Peace and Progress in Asia and the Pa- cific--were signed in the clos- ing session of the seven-nation conference at Malacanang Pal- ace.
