Who was it spoke of draining off the “surplus purchasing power” of the Canadian taxpayers? Who sug- gested that the public’s savings must be accumulated in order to finance the Indians and to belittle their very existence, then much ir- reparable damage will have been done.

It was an intricate manoeu- vre, cleverly designed and boldly carried gut. The Public Schools Act has a clause which says that every teacher in the public schools of B.C. must be a member of the B.C.
