The principal shortcoming in our present educational system,-against which Labor has consistently objected and for the elimination of which it will continue to strive, is that in spite of the fact that considerable sums of public money are being-expended on our universities, the sons and daughters from the less fortunate families are being deprived of the opportunities for advanced education offered through those institutions because their parents are unable to afford the expenses involved.

Exaggerated Report REPORTS from Vancouver that drug addicts are invading Prinee Rupert are baloney. There are addicts in the city, undoubtedly. Any city with an element of transients is certain to have the proldem to some extent. Hut the suggestion that we are harboring a community of hop heads is complete bilge. This is not a question of being smug. Consider it factually.

His course, then, is to get the money by other means. If Prince Rupert were experiencing ;ui extraordinary outbreak of crime there might be something to support the Vancouver reports. Rut there is no such thing. Vancouver police might as well realizeas they undoubtedly do that they cannot get rid of the problem that easily. Even an addict in the deepest throes of his craving will know he has a better chance of buying his shot in the big city where detection is not nearly so sure as it is publicised and where crime is more or less routine.
