When asked to sum up what LEARN afiing passage which says: 'it is htcoming inci'easine;ly apparent in British Columbia that the native Indian is adapting himself successfully to all aspects of the provincial economy. In order to make a living, he is a logger, trapper, mill-worker, master mariner, longshoreman, government official, cowhoy, cattle-rancher, professional man, school-teacher, railroad-worker, farm-hand, miner, and is responsible for approximately -40 per cent of the catch in the tt.C. fishing industry. "These occupations are being followed successfully by the native Indian in competition with his white neighbor, and as educational facilities improve, an increasing number of Indians will take a greater part in the economic development of this province." It is good to have this official assurance that the Indian is attaining a more responsible place in our society. At the same time, one is still left with the impression that the opportunities open to him are fewer and more limited than they should be, and that it is the white man's education as much as the Indian's which needs attention. l'ossibly it is too much to expect that through education the white man can learn to drop the barriers which make his society so exclusive. Maybe all the self-improvement must be left to the Indian until he has established beyond all doubt that he has a right to an equal place. Hut if this is so, it takes much of the meaning from the program to assist him. How can we explain logically our efforts to promote Indian education when tolerance and understanding are not included? The only word that explains it is hypocrisy: To find a fresh approach to the problem, we might look to our children. In this, as in so many cases, they seem to have more character than their elders. A difference in race is not in their minds a bar to friendship. It is only bad advice from adults that will ever make them think about the matter "at all. Obviously this is an occasion when they should be giving advice instead of receiving it. When society learns that discrimination because of color is not necessary to its security and happiness, it will begin to have the wisdom of its children. of the provincial advisory affairs there is an cncour- By NORMAN M.

The Canadian government apparently made certain "representations" to the U.S. Ihat were rejected. Mr. Uiefenbaker, who told reporters the price drop Ls a blow to the western farmer, blamed It largely on Canada's stubborn refusal to agree to Britain's request for a cellng of $2 a bushel Instead of $2.05 under the In-' erriallonal Wheat agreement. -:, He-hoped this would not lead ; fo 0 recurrence of the depression .' of the 1030s when Canada ul.;o; lost wheat markets, but, "the i circumstance i are too similar for ' anything hut the engendering of i fear." j ' llazen Argue, CCF-A.ssinihnl:!, said he belbved Canada started a' pi Ice war with the U.S. when ; it cut the wheat price by seven t cents a bushel at the I.akeheud j last Feb. 14 without consulting I ' Hie U.S. The U.S. next, day made a similar cut.

HERE Is the tricky problem with which we have to deal today on the banking committee. There Is a plan afoot to set, up an Insurance system to cover all civil .servants and all members of the armed forces. The pro- posed plan would replace a pure- ly voluntary Insurance system ! whereby the government .;eiii , various kinds of life insurance ! to civil .servants who desire I such voluntary ,-overatte. Under , the new plan every civil servant i jnd member of the armed lore-1 es would be compelled to pay for ; compulsory life Insurance. The ' amount would be on a .sliding scale, but the cost would run ' about forty cents per month peri thousand. That is, for a two dollar per month deduction from pay the civil servant wciild i;:'t' ' $5000 life insurance. ; THE crux of the rcheme is that j U must cover everybody. But! the .sore spot is thut a very large number of women civil' servants do not want the insur- j ance. They say they have far too many deductions from th-iir ' , . , . pay already and they could not care less about leaving any money behind when they die. THIS scheme will not benefit the government's treasury in any way. Neither will it dip inlo the public purse. The amount that I the government Intends to pot j up is just about C(jii;il to I lie j two month's salary payment j which is now made on the death i of the civil s.-rvant. This pay-! ment would be discontinued un-! der the new plan, i litre I hen Is the crux of the fiuesllun. Is the parliament of uie ni..uranc.e encaper man iney , oiim iiiiuii"ii iuilsiui- iiiiiijiiuir scneme wunouL wie consent, or approval of the lndividu.il civil servants themselves? - , My answer is no I do not believe that any such overall compulsory scheme should be set up at least until nil the people 'concerned have had a chance to discuss them In advance; and never set up at all unless the j substantial majority of all thel nennlc concerned nlsn iiio-ee In I them In advance. ! Above all, I think it would be an injustice to single girls to force them, against tlrlr free will, to provide a broad enou'ih group to provide bargain rate insurance for married men. However, 1 must add that this Insurance is a real bargain, even for single girls.
