Opening Up Peace River in exasparation at the disinterestedness APPARENTLY of the Canadian National in bringing traffic to "Prince George and Prince Rupert I from the Peace River and the failure of the Do-; minion to keep its promise made so long ago'to pro-; vide a connection f rom the Peace River to the coast, ; the Prince George Citizen calls upon the provincial ; . government without further delay to undertake j the extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to the Peace River. ' The Canadian National Railways and the Do-! minion government appearing to be even less interested in the Pacific Great Eastern Railway than -they are in their own line from Jasper'to that "fine 1 but neglected port" at Prince Rupert, the 'Citizen contends that the people of the 'Peace River are ; entitled to better- consideration 'by the province of : 'British Columbia. "From the point of view of the financial, affairs ; of the P.G.E. and their relation to provincial fin-l ances; from the point of view of our duty and re-l -sponsibility to the people who live in the Peace j River portion 'of British Columbia; from the point of view of post-war reconstruction and the neces-g&y of an expanding economy to bring full employment, the Province of British Columbia must undertake the extension of the .Pacific Great hast- ern. Railway to the Peace River," contends the Citizen. 3ft J 3ft Don't expect too much from the man who talks about what he did Instead of what he's doing:. Chinese Immigration WILL, doubtless, be THERE much discussion pro and con over the announced Intention of Prime Minister .Mackenzie King and his government to remove restrlc-tioas of a special nature which have existed for several years against the Immigration ef Chinese into canaaa. Now Chinese are to be put on the same basis sjjther nationali--tieln the matter of immigration and the immediate effect wfll be the enabling of wives and unmarried children of Chinese men resident In Canada to come here and join them. Of eoure, this does not mean that the bars are lowered to free immigration of Chinese for, under the present immigration policy, it Is fairly difficult for nationals of any foreign country to get into Canada except under special circumstances. An unlimited influx of Chinese into Canada would, no doubt, be regulated by selective provisions as to qualification and desirability which will necessarily form a -"part of a new over-all imml-v gration policy for this country --which it is anticipated will be forthcoming before long. Our Monarchy LINK, consUtutionally, ONLY that holds it together now is that everyone in the 'British Commonwealth and Empire has the same ' King z. .and Queen. Take away the British monarchy, and it Is a '. political fact that by the Statute of Westminster there is really nothing left. What remains, of course, is solid enough: the links of language, and common political Ideals which hold the whole of the English - speaking world together. The relaUonship between the BritLtoDominlongovernments and the British government is, broadly, on the same basis as the relationship between London and Washington. The difference is simply that the constitutional head of the State In Canada, for example, Is the King of Canada who happens to be King of England as well. And, as King of Canada, the King deals directly, and Independently, with his government in Ottawa, through the Governor-General, In the same way that he deals directly ana dndependenUy with the different governments as King of Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. The King's , posiUon is so in dividual in respect to the Dominions that, when he visits one of the Dominions as lie visited Canada before the war, and as he Is visiting South Africa on a State Visit very shortly he travels unaccompanied by any minister of the British government. The point is that It ;s none of the British government's business. It. is South Africa's or 'Canada's business. Andwhen the King is in one of the Dominions, the British government Is simply in the same position that the Dominions are in when the King Is at the Court of St. James. The Court handles British affairs from the official residence overseas. But, although the monarchy holds Britain, the Commonwealth, and Empire together now, it is hot to be underestimated. It is real enough and solemn enough for the sight of the Queen to bring a lump to the throat of even an easily disappointed person.

Such a statement, Mr. Nieoil says. Is unjust to labor and he is prepared to debate the matter with representaUves of Canadian Pacific Airlines at any time. .MRS. BECKER'S REPLY Editor. Dally News. I am aaswering Mrs, Beynon's i letter of January !0 not in a spirit of retaliation but because I am convinced that the Increasing enrolment of native children is becoming a problem in our schools and that, the present, method of solution is not really a satisfactory from either their standpoint or ours. I do not advocate separate schools for native children sim ply because of race, nor do I be lieve In absolute segregation. As long as native parents make an honest attempt to see that their children comply with the standard of health, cleanliness, attendance and general progress set by our schools, by all means encourage their children to attend. Our school educationalprogram Is largely a formal type of book-learning and Is m planned'tbat. In order for any child to attain some measure, of success, there must be cloje' co-operation between the school and the homo. For instance, parents are expected to see that their children get their required sleep and regular meals; that they are punctual and attend regularly,; and that they do homework when necessary. Parents are also expected provide a background of moral support. Tf a child creates a problem In any way, his home ,,ife lnmUsated as a first I corrective measure. Parents are blamed for the mitflts and Uie Hallowe'en delinquents. Take 1 away the education for living our children receive in their homes and I doubt if th;y would be as capable as the average Indian who has had a few years of our formal education. But how many Indian children receive the home training that enables them to assimilate our school education? Sporadic attendance and ut ter disregard for punctuality are the major faults which necessitate repitlon of grades and places them in the wrong age groups. This is not good for either themselves or our children. Due also to poor observance of health rules and lack of moral support, they are not what we term "well-adjusted" and often become problem children In the schools. I am not sure if I understand the meaning of true democracy in the same sense as Mrs. Bey-non does. But I do believe that the family is the basic unit in a successful democracy, the welfare of the children being placed above all else. Ideally speaking, It is here they are taught to live inside four walls, respecting the rights and property of other members as they do their own; to live closely without becoming offensiye to others, physically or morally, also aWe to develop their own individualities to as great an ex tent as possible without conflicting with the well-being of others. Good family life teaches the fundamental laws which provide the basts for good citizenship. Many natives still prefer a travelling tribal sort of existence. Alt clay their children-down to the smallest roam their favorite hunting grounds, which have in many places become criss-crossed with streets and are beset'wlth the low-life of civilization far more dangerous to their race than the former wildlife. Their preference for their old mode of living may be due in part to economic circumstances, but more probably ioecaii.se they have never had a chance to learn the complicated art of family living. I doubt If resident schools arc the best solution as they take al! responsibility away from the Commander Cree Longs For Rupert Commander Charles "M. Orce. who wns we of the naval of fliers in charge at the port 'Of Prince Rupert during the war. i3 now British vlceeonsul at Hcustcn. Texas, but, writing to a local frfend, he appears to 'be fir.dins life rather stuffy there, partieuterly from the -weather standpoint. He often longs to be back in Prince Rupertemid the clar, fresh air and the fine hospitality of the people here. In fact, he fe promising hLnself a revMtation here as soon "as possible.

I think we ! should help natives to help themselves and gradually aban- n our protective role The present type of school provided by the Indian Department in many eases gives only an inferior education. But can they not he improved or replaced by type of "school home" equipped primarily to teach courses in name-making, family life and citizenship? Classes in aduli education should be considered. Specialization in such subjects as .music, art and toaridlcratts to develop the innate talents of our native population might well be a feature.

This tekvet ctraracteris-tic has been cultivated almost exjritveiyrjy the white racrfi. Why'-not plan the education of natives to develop their natural endowments Instead of try-, ing to fit or misfit i the whole race to our ideals? It is net too much ifor them to. dream at bacoming teachers. trustees, nurses, health and tru ant officers-tout first let them prove themselves among their own people where the need Is greatest. No. dreaming is not too much, rather, it is net enough. MRS. DOROTHY BECKER. Relieve RHEUMATIC Pain Are your jointi and muvicj :iit! aod rote Irom Rheumatic l'afn?
