One way in which the British laws differ from those in Canada is in the provision made for "absent" voters. There is an arrangement for the armed services vote, course, but in addition those who may be regarded as absent voters are des- cribed thus: "Those unable to go to because of the general na their occupation, those suffering from blindness or other physical in- capacihes, te go to U from their qualifying address aking a journey those who no ing address.' or the pol e 4 0 those unable poll bv without 7 sea 1 longer air and live at their qual or Those persons may vote by in some instances, by proxy are made up by pOToUrA oT sends out voters' lists clerk for county, district forms to all househ are required ified elect who iders on which mn a list their Authority, thex to rete of all qua ors in homes.

"Come into the. office," he'll insist, The _ prospective white and negotiations ahead, If he is Negro, chances are he will be told When he arrives at the agent's office that the premises have been let, The law forbids racial dis- crimination in housing, but the Negro would probably find it almost impossible to prove dis. erimination, The fact of the matier is obvious, The job advetrisement is for employment in a better-paying category, It doesn't say Negroes need not apply, That would be egal under fair-empoyment laws But when the Negro applies, chances are he will be told, even before his qualifications are examined, that the job is filled Legally proving discrimina- tion on color grounds would be most difficult, if not impossible, and legal action probably too slow and too costly to be of use anyway But the fact of the matter, again, is obvious, LIVE IN GHETTOS Such - practices, along with self-made regulations main- tained by some trade unions to confine the membership to their friends and relatives who are white, limit the Negro's eco. nomic development anid the areas in which he can find or afford lodging, The northern Negro is thus forced into ghettos hke New York's Harlem, the most densely populated Negro section in the United States, which con. tains 500,000 persons. This segregation, tenant 's go sanctioned in turn contrib. ules to segregation of public schools, Most schoo! employ a school" system whereby Yf you live within he neighborhood boundaries, your children go to & specified 'school within the neighborhood The school in the area pop. ulated by Negroes becomes all- Negro.: And almost invaniably, the stndards are lower in the all-Negro school, the equipment, buildings and teachers are not of as high calibre as those in white schools, and the general atmosphere not as conducive to enhancing the basic skills of the pupils as that in predominantly. white or all-white schools. SOME BREAK BARRIERS Some Negro families have broken the housing barriers, moved into white areas and sent their children to integrated schools, But when this happens, the white population usualiy be. gins moving out, the area soon becomes aill-Negro, the neigh. borhood schools the same, and segregation exists again The northern Negro finds em. ployment with whites, but gen- erally in the lower-paid jobs-- garbage collectors, stars clerks, restaurant dishwashers and bus boys, truck and bu drivers, laborers--and in the jobs that disappear first. whea there is economic recession, Negro children go to school with white children, but often only for as long as it iakes the white families in the district to find new accommodation in all- white areas Some Nagroes find housing in white areas, but this also is frequently short-lived administrations neighborhood Loan Fund Action Thought Logical Ry DON @ HEARN TORONTO--The first round af the new federal-provincial nego- tiations ended with everybody getting good marks Prime Minister Pearson brought in an acceptable com- promise on his municipal loan fund Premier Lesage of Quebec made his point, and get control of the federal money without his prevince losing prestige And our Premier Robarts was able to appear te take strong Stands and still not be labelled a trouble-maker liv the action the previnces control lending money was a one The federal government polit ically gets the credit for putting up the money and could be spared a considerable adminis trative headache Administering tms fund will mot be the easiest job in the world, and the provinces are 7" a better position to undertake it than Ottawa.
