AYRES Managing Inditor the Post Offiee Departinent, Ottawa tact name on the ballot one to vote for pm training or while instructing, box- ers often pull punches but when it comes to an actual fight in the ring, the power of a punch, thrown with full weight behind it can mean the differ- ence between victory and defeat. An election is just such a fight and it isin this vein that we direct a final election editorial before Monday’s federal elec- tion, pulling no punches, to explain one last item to the electorate which holds the fate of this riding, if not the gov- ernment of Canada in its hands. The ballot on which you will vote Monday will have on it three names in alphabetical order. It will give you the names of the candidates, their ad- dresses and their occupations. There will be no identifying political affilia- tion alongside the names. Thus the ballot will read: Howard, Frank, Terrace, logger Madley,. Lewis G., Prince George, {ransport supervisor _ Vance, Bill, Prince Rupert, man- ager) a ~ From this, after the over-lengthy election campaign the voter is expected to remember what each candidate stands for and the party with which the candidate is affiliated. Therefore as we would like to expound further ot this subject. When you look at the ballot it should be remembered that: Howard, stands for the New Demo- cratic Party, socialism, a splinter eroup in a 265-seat House of Com- mons. We doubt very much, if Mr. Howard himself can remember when he actually last did any logging, part af an honorable and vital industry in Isritish Columbia’s economy. He was, ‘roe cnourh, an active organizer for the International Woodworkers of America. He has, as a politician made ereat strides, has worked hard around this constituency for the socialist enuse und in the House of Commons “~ he has an unenviable record of carp- ing for five solid years, one of the rea- sons his name is more familiar to the electorate than the names of the other two candidates. Madley, stands for Social Credit, a financial enigma, KBeunett dictatorial policies bordering: on socialism, which might make a showing in mereurial Quebee which has nothing in common with British Columbia. Mr. Madley, a transport supervisor with the provin- clal government had to resign his job with the civil service to throw himself wholeheartedly into a campaign in a strange riding on the orders of federal Socred leader Robert Thompson and his cohorts. Federally Social Credit means nothing to Skeena, Vanee, stands for the Progressive Conservatives, the government which has done more for Skeena Riding than any other government in Canada’s his- tory. A Prince Rupert-born business- man, he has worked hard for his com- pany and if elected has arranged that his resignation from his firm takes place immediately so that he can give full time to working for the people of Skeena. Boiled down to the simplest terms, voters should assess the names on the ballot as follows: HOWARD, FRANK, NDP, stand- . ing for socialism, rejected hy Canada for $5 years. MADLEY, LEWIS G., Social ‘Che- ’ dit, (22?) untried federally. VANCE, BILL, Conservative, the government that has benefitted Skeena most. To voters who want to help Skeena Riding, it would appear logical to us that it is within the confines of the bottom square opposite Vance, that they should mark their X.

Ht is a typieal hit. of waciistic reasoning, Once upon a time, in a better or a worse ape, if used to be said as an axiom that the best governed country is the least governed, That is to say that the best social system carried on mM momentum of good behavior and wood tradition rather than under a he- wildering: multiplicity of rnles and ropulations, Britain, for instanee, until the so- cinlists came to power, had a smaller volime af written Tay than almost any other civilized country, She even managed and still manages to get along without a written constitution.

G, Large (pre- sumably Dr. Large) in your edition of June 1ith. Dr. Large states that Indians have the right to purchase liquor ‘under the new Indian Act -- passed by the Diefen- baker Government. This, Dr. is not a true statement. The Tory government hasn't enac- ted a new Indian Act. They naven’t made any amendments to the restrictive sections of that Act which deals with li- quor. An Indian cannot pur- chase liquor except in a licen- sed premises and this condi- tion has prevailed since 1951 or 1952. Dr. Large states that “Any Indian living on Reserve is en- titled to and receives free medical service.” This, Dr., is” not a true statement. The policy of the Indian and Nor- thern Health Services, as stat- ed by its Director, Dr. Moore, is to provide free medical services in indigent cases only. Dr. “Moore emphasized this before the Joint Senate and House of Commons Committee on Indian Affairs. With respect to the proposed sale of Tsimpsean timber I would point out that the course which I took was the respon- sible one. IT spoke with the In- dian Affairs Branch and got them to postpone the sale of the timber so that the matter could be discussed with the fort Simpson people. This pav- ed the way for an apreement to sell lo Beaufort Industries, Which was desired by Part AlN pson, Postponement, Dr. meant that the way was open for i change to be made in the pro- posed sale. When the Liberal, Miss LaMarsh, ratsed the mat- fer in Parliament all she sue- ceeded in doing was to get the entire sale cancelled, The re- sult was that the Port Simpson people suffered. Tad the course whieh | took been al- lowed to continue to iis lopieat conelision the Port Simpsor people was have had the sale of the timber consumiiated und in all probability the ting. ber would be dn the process af belong logged right at this mo. ment, Dr. Large, you have made three statements ba your letter, eieh one of whieh wes ineor- rect.

G. Large obviosuly has an extremeiy conservative alti- tude toward the problems of our Native population. This is difficult to understand in one in such close contact with the Indian people for many years. A simple comparison of the present plight of the neighbor- ing villages with twenty years ago, I think would convince most people thal the Canadian policy in this field has lacked any foresight and is woefully inadequate. If present condi- tions fail to arouse some social indignation in those who would influence the Native vote then that influence may well be treacherous. Mr. Sankey spoke for many Indians today, particularly among the younger generation, who are at last rememberin’s the many times their people were the victims of the man- oeuvres of old-line politicians and their agents of both North American and European de- scent. The Indian resents be- ing treated as a child. being discriminated against and be- ing sold out. And so he should. They view recent liquor and voting victories not as privi- leges granted by a Conserva- tive Government as Mr. Large suggests, bul as rights long denied them by Libera) and Conservative alike, If the Con- servatives share less of | the blame it is only because they failed to gain office as often. Many now sce the New Dem- oerutic Party as their instru- ment. Hansard is read in iat least most of the villages and if that is propaganda det our erities make the most of it.

CARLING RED CAP ALE Froa home delivery — phana EQUALITY FO ALL The Editor, The Daily News: Correspondent R, G. Large in his recent letter disparaging Donald Sankey. might bear i inind the fact. that sarcasm will gel him newhere. By his remarks, one would gather that our Native Indians should be grovelling with hum- jliation before the marvellous’ lrogressive Conservatives who _— according to him — gave - the “privilege” of them. He also Lwist his letter in such a man- ner as to give the readers the idea that only certain Native Indians have thinking powers. The New Democratic Party does not entertain such a be- littling attitude. It believes in equality for all — regardless of race, creed or color. Thank goodness there is no reom for snobs in the New Democratic Party, and thank goodness for men like Frank Howard — a man of the people, for the people —- even for the likes of R, G.

There \s probably not in all history a single instance in which? a successful dem-¢ ocratic forin of government Was imposed on a peo- a ia Teer ple from ahove. In the classic examples of the democratic principle of government such as Britain, ib took centuries of determined struggle on the part of the “outs” to take away power and privilege from. the “ins:” and Lhe struggle, in the best democracies, is never over. It is going on now. No- thing is “given.” Tt is “taken.” Democracy, of course, is for those who desire il. But they have got to desire it iy their hearts and minds, not in their hands, as a gilt.
