E. Mckenzie Brandon seed merchant who is chairman of the College Board. The Compromise which implemented the recommendation made by the Liberal progressive members of the legislature at a recent caucus was set out in a letter from Premier John Bracken to r. F.

It was made the Premier said not in View of the educational needs of any specific area but bearing in mind our obligations to the province As a acceptance or he must be your Premier s letter outlining the government s Posi Tion on the College s application for assistance As Well As the offer the principal sections of the Premier s letter follows you will recall the first Sugges Tion was for an annual Grant from the government of guaranteed for 20 years. This amount was arrived at by estimating the total expenses including payment of Bond interest in full at 6 per cent and All other operating expenses and deducting therefrom receipts from students leaving the govern ment to carry the estimated deficit of no offer was made of local assistance in any shape or form. We pointed out to you very definitely that in View of the Gen eral financial situation at the pres ent time and considering the needs to be met in regard to elementary and High school education it was unlikely the request could be considered favourably. In subsequent sessions it was represented to us that Brandon District could provide some special assistance estimated at to later an offer of an endowment fund was made by or. A. E. Mckenzie who guaranteed payment of interest thereon to the extent of your representatives suggested that in the Light of the assistance to be provided in these ways the whole matter should be reconsidered and we agreed to do so.

Mckenzie being made legally effective and subject to the institution being made non denominational we assume of course that Brandon College will be affiliated with the University of Manitoba for degree conferring purposes As mentioned above the demand for provided for payment of interest in full to bondholders despite the fact that no interest has been paid since 1930 it not allow for any College being otherwise than assistance for the provided from the locally endow which waited Council. Or. Hoggan said quite a number of licenses had been cancelled and it was to be expected that some would try to do business in St. James which would make things More difficult for the local dairymen who had established themselves in Busi Ness and had a right to claim some Protection. Another to which he Drew attention was what or. Hoggan described As the sacred subject of pasteurization. The authorities he said were interested in the claims of the pasteurization enthusiasts. Referring to what he described As a Dexter Ous move on the part of the free press or. Hoggan said Grant Dexter the newspaper s Cor respondent in London had written a series of articles in which he endeavoured to show that great Britain was favourably disposed to the subject of pasteurization. Or. Hoggan for information about standards in View of a movement on the part of St. James dairymen to establish a Central pasteurization Plant the question of making changes in the method of issuing Relief slips so that recipients would get an allowance for every Day of the week was also brought up by or. Hoggan. Ment it not even suggest tax exemption of the College property. If the provision for Bond interest be eliminated and the assistance that might be reasonably expected and previously offered on behalf of Brandon District be taken into consideration it would appear that the College could continue to operate with the Grant of now offered. We would Point out that in View of the accepted policy of All govern ments in Manitoba for Many years in reference to the state univer sity and considering the position the affiliated colleges the offer herein made represents and fair Effort to reconcile the claims of conflicting interests. It is made not in View of the Educa Tion needs of any specific area but bearing in mind our obligations to the province As a whole.
